Heart and vascular tests

What do your blood lipids look like? Elevated or unfavourably distributed blood lipids are important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Since altered blood lipid values ​​often do not cause any clear symptoms, blood tests can provide valuable information about your long-term cardiovascular health and help you follow relevant risk markers over time.

With us, you can order blood tests for analysis of LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides. You can also analyze Apo B, Apo A1 and Apo B/Apo A1 ratio, which provides additional information about the blood's lipoproteins and blood lipid profile.

A particularly relevant risk marker is Lipoprotein (a), also known as Lp(a). The level is largely genetically determined and Lp(a) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Since the level is less affected by lifestyle than many other blood lipids, an Lp(a) test can provide information that is not always apparent from a standard cholesterol analysis.

In the category you will also find complementary analyses such as non-HDL cholesterol and NT-proBNP as well as long-term ECG for other questions about heart function. The tests may be relevant both for those who want to check their blood lipids for preventive purposes and for those who follow up on previous abnormal values ​​or a known risk profile.
