Cardiac Panel Profile I - (£100)

Cardiac Panel Profile I
The Cardiac Panel Profile I is a detailed blood test designed to assess vital markers that reflect heart health and cardiovascular function. It provides a clear picture of potential risk factors for heart disease, helping in early detection, monitoring, and effective management of cardiac conditions.

Indications for testing
This profile is recommended for:
– Evaluating cardiovascular risk in individuals with high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease.
– Monitoring those with existing heart conditions or symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, or persistent fatigue.
– Conducting heart health assessments during general check-ups or before surgical procedures.

What can be detected?
The Cardiac Panel Profile I measures multiple biomarkers to evaluate cardiovascular and metabolic health:
– Lipid Profile (Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides): Assesses cholesterol balance and identifies risk factors for coronary artery disease.
– Urea, Creatinine, Uric Acid: Evaluate kidney health, which directly influences cardiovascular performance.
– Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride): Essential for maintaining proper heart rhythm and muscle contraction.
– Cardiac Enzymes (AST, ALT, CK): Help detect heart muscle stress or damage.
– Troponin: A key biomarker used to identify cardiac injury, including heart attacks and acute coronary events.

By combining these parameters, the Cardiac Panel Profile I offers a comprehensive overview of heart health, supporting timely diagnosis and preventive strategies.

Who is this test for?
This test is suitable for anyone wishing to evaluate or monitor cardiovascular health. It is especially beneficial for individuals with lifestyle risk factors, metabolic disorders, or pre-existing heart conditions, and for those undergoing cardiac rehabilitation or preventive screening.

Fasting requirements
An 8–12 hour fasting period is advised prior to testing to ensure accurate readings, particularly for lipid and glucose measurements.
