Why Choose the Advanced Cardiovascular and Metabolic Risk Test?
This test is essential for identifying key risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), metabolic syndrome, and type II diabetes. By evaluating advanced markers like atherogenic lipoproteins, arterial inflammation, and insulin sensitivity, this test provides a detailed picture of your heart and metabolic health, helping you take proactive steps to reduce risks and improve well-being.
Who Should Get This Test Done?
- Individuals with a personal or family history of cardiovascular disease.
- Those with excess abdominal fat, obesity, or insulin resistance.
- People diagnosed with or at risk for fatty liver disease or metabolic syndrome.
- Anyone aiming to take a comprehensive approach to heart and metabolic health.
For Which Symptoms?
- Persistent fatigue or low energy levels
- Difficulty managing weight or excess abdominal fat
- High blood pressure or cholesterol levels
- Symptoms of insulin resistance, such as increased hunger or frequent urination
- Signs of inflammation, such as joint pain or swelling
Which Health Issues Can This Test Help Prevent?
- Cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes.
- Complications of type II diabetes, such as kidney damage.
- Progression of fatty liver disease and associated health risks.
- Chronic inflammation and its impact on overall health.
What the Advanced Cardiovascular and Metabolic Risk Test Analyses
- Lipoprotein Sub-Species: Evaluates clinically sensitive atherogenic lipoproteins and apolipoproteins associated with CVD risk.
- Arterial Inflammation: Measures lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (PLAC®), a sensitive marker of plaque instability and atherogenesis.
- Metabolic Markers: Assesses insulin resistance, adipokines related to fatty acid metabolism, and glycaemic control using 1,5-anhydroglucitol (Glycomark®) for hyperglycaemic episodes.
- Kidney Function: Includes cystatin C for a more accurate assessment of glomerular filtration.
