Cardiovascular risk markers and lipid panels
31 tests in this category
APOLIPOPROTEIN A1 (Apo A)
This blood test measures the level of Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A), the main protein component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often called "good" cholesterol. Apo A plays a vital role in removing excess cholesterol from your body.
Apolipoprotein A1 & B
Measures Apolipoprotein A1 (the main protein in HDL/good cholesterol) and Apolipoprotein B (the main protein in LDL/bad cholesterol). Provides a more precise cardiovascular risk assessment than standard lipid panel.
APOLIPOPROTEIN B (Apo B)
The Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) test measures the amount of Apo B protein in your blood. Apo B is a primary protein component of 'bad' cholesterol particles (like LDL), which are known to contribute to plaque buildup in arteries.
Apolipoprotein B/A1 Ratio
The Apolipoprotein B/A1 Ratio test compares the levels of Apo B (associated with 'bad' cholesterol) to Apo A1 (associated with 'good' cholesterol, HDL). This ratio provides a comprehensive view of your lipid balance.
Apolipoprotein E
The Apolipoprotein E (Apo E) test identifies which genetic variants of the Apo E protein you carry. Apo E plays a crucial role in the metabolism and transport of fats in the body, including cholesterol.
B-TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE (BNP)
The BNP test measures the level of B-type natriuretic peptide, a hormone produced by your heart. High levels can indicate that your heart is working harder than usual.
BNP / NT-proBNP
Measures brain natriuretic peptide, released by the heart when it is under stress or overloaded. The primary blood test for diagnosing and monitoring heart failure.
CHOLESTEROL, SERUM
CHOLESTEROL, SERUM is a diagnostic laboratory test available for booking in the UAE. This test helps healthcare providers assess specific health markers and make informed medical decisions.
Creatine Kinase MB (CK-MB)
The Creatine Kinase MB (CK-MB) test measures a specific enzyme found primarily in your heart muscle. When heart muscle is damaged, CK-MB is released into your bloodstream, making it a key indicator for heart health.
HDL CHOLESTROL, SERUM
The HDL Cholesterol test measures the level of "good" cholesterol in your blood. HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) helps remove excess cholesterol from your arteries, protecting against heart disease. Higher levels are generally considered beneficial for heart health.
High-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP)
Measures very low levels of C-reactive protein to assess cardiovascular inflammation risk. Unlike standard CRP, hs-CRP detects subtle chronic inflammation linked to heart disease.
Homocysteine
Measures homocysteine, an amino acid linked to cardiovascular disease risk when elevated. High levels damage blood vessel walls and promote blood clots.
Homocysteine Qualitative, Urine
This urine test checks for the presence of homocysteine, an amino acid, in your urine. It's primarily used as a screening tool to detect unusually high levels that might indicate a metabolic issue.
LDL CHOLESTEROL
The LDL Cholesterol test measures the amount of "bad" cholesterol in your blood. High levels of LDL cholesterol can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. This test is a key part of assessing your cardiovascular health.
Lipid Profile (Cholesterol Panel)
Measures total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and VLDL. Essential for assessing cardiovascular risk and guiding preventive treatment decisions.
Lipid Profile Extended
Lipid Profile Extended is a diagnostic laboratory test available for booking in the UAE. This test helps healthcare providers assess specific health markers and make informed medical decisions.
Lipoprotein Electrophoresis
Lipoprotein Electrophoresis is a diagnostic laboratory test available for booking in the UAE. This test helps healthcare providers assess specific health markers and make informed medical decisions.
Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 (LP-PLA2)
Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 (LP-PLA2) is a diagnostic laboratory test available for booking in the UAE. This test helps healthcare providers assess specific health markers and make informed medical decisions.
Lipoprotein(a)
Measures Lipoprotein(a), a genetically determined lipoprotein that is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and aortic valve stenosis.
Myoglobin, Serum
This blood test measures the level of myoglobin, a protein found in muscle tissue. When muscles are damaged, myoglobin is released into the bloodstream.
Myoglobin, Urine
This urine test measures myoglobin, a protein released from damaged muscles. When muscle damage is severe, myoglobin can be filtered by the kidneys and appear in the urine.
NON HDL CHOLESTEROL
Non-HDL cholesterol is a calculated value that represents all the 'bad' cholesterol in your blood, including LDL cholesterol and other harmful particles. It is considered a strong predictor of heart disease risk.
NT-PRO BNP (N-TERMINAL PRO B TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE)
This blood test measures the level of NT-PRO BNP, a hormone produced by your heart. When your heart is under stress or working harder than usual, it releases more of this hormone. High levels can indicate heart strain or heart failure.
OXIDIZED LDL
The Oxidized LDL test measures a specific, more harmful form of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) that has been damaged by free radicals. This oxidized form is particularly damaging to your arteries.
Phospholipid antibody IgG
This test checks for IgG antibodies that mistakenly target phospholipids, which are fats essential for cell membranes and blood clotting. Detecting these antibodies helps understand if your immune system is overactive and attacking healthy tissues.
Phospholipid antibody IgM
This test identifies IgM antibodies that mistakenly target phospholipids, which are fats crucial for cell membranes and blood clotting. Detecting these antibodies helps assess if your immune system is reacting abnormally.
SMALL DENSE LDL
This blood test measures the amount of small, dense LDL (low-density lipoprotein) particles in your blood. Unlike standard LDL cholesterol, these smaller, denser particles are considered more harmful and are strongly associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
TRIGLYCERIDES, SERUM
The Triglycerides test measures the amount of triglycerides, a type of fat, in your blood. These fats are stored in your body for energy, but high levels can be a sign of health issues.
Troponin I (Cardiac)
Measures cardiac troponin I, a protein released when heart muscle cells are damaged. The most sensitive and specific marker for heart attack (myocardial infarction).
Troponin T
The Troponin T test measures the level of Troponin T, a protein found in heart muscle, in your blood. When heart muscle is damaged, Troponin T is released into the bloodstream.
VLDL CHOLESTEROL
VLDL (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol is a type of "bad" cholesterol that carries triglycerides, a type of fat, from your liver to other parts of your body. This test measures VLDL cholesterol levels, often as part of a broader lipid panel, to assess your risk of heart disease.
