Cardiac Profile III
Advanced Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Beyond Traditional Cholesterol Testing
The Cardiac Profile III is a highly specialized blood test designed to evaluate deep-rooted cardiovascular risk factors related to inflammation, lipoproteins, and blood clotting. It offers a detailed and comprehensive view of your heart health—especially useful when standard cholesterol tests don’t tell the full story.
Who Should Take This Test?
This panel is recommended for individuals who:
Have a personal or family history of heart disease or stroke
Have experienced a previous cardiac event (e.g. heart attack, angina)
Are managing high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or chronic inflammation
Want a more precise and predictive assessment of their cardiovascular risk
Are looking to uncover hidden or overlooked risk factors
What’s Measured?
This in-depth profile includes:
🧬 Apolipoprotein A1 & B (12h Fasting Required):
Key proteins in HDL and LDL cholesterol
Offers a clearer view of “good” vs “bad” cholesterol
More predictive of heart risk than traditional lipid panels
🔥 C-Reactive Protein High-Sensitivity (hsCRP):
Sensitive inflammation marker
Helps detect chronic, low-grade inflammation linked to heart disease
💉 Homocysteine:
Elevated levels are linked to increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood vessel damage
🩺 Lipoprotein (a):
A genetic marker associated with atherosclerosis and heart disease—even with normal cholesterol
🧪 Fibrinogen:
A clotting factor that, when elevated, may increase the risk of thrombosis and cardiovascular events
When Should You Get Tested?
Consider this panel if:
You have multiple heart disease risk factors
Your cholesterol levels are normal, but you still feel at risk
You’re managing a chronic condition (like diabetes or hypertension)
You want to prevent a first or recurrent cardiac event
