Cardiovascular Health Test
This Cardiovascular Health test analyses blood and utilises nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).
This state-of-the-art Cardiovascular Health test measures the HDL and LDL fractions, which shows whether you have predominantly small dense cholesterol particles or large ones. New research is showing that these measures are extraordinarily important because small dense LDL cholesterol is toxic and damaging to blood vessels.
The test provides a thorough assessment of cardiovascular health status, revealing the biochemical environment associated with inflammation, lipid deposits, endothelial dysfunction and clotting factors underlying cardiovascular disease.
Specimen Type: Blood
Patient Requirements: Overnight fast for 12 hours (water only). Your GP must be able to perform a centrifugal blood draw.
Comprehensive Cardiovascular Assessment
A comprehensive evaluation of cardiovascular health, measuring various important markers such as cholesterol, triglycerides and homocysteine, as well as key inflammatory markers. This unique test combines both traditional and cutting-edge indicators of cardiovascular health that can often be corrected with nutritional intervention.
Specimen Type: Blood
Patient Requirements: Overnight fast for 8 hours (water only). Your GP must be able to perform a centrifugal blood draw.
