Advanced Heart Wellness Package

Description:

• The Advanced Heart Wellness Package is a detailed blood and screening panel that checks for hidden cardiovascular risks beyond a basic cholesterol test.


• A comprehensive package to evaluate cardiovascular health, measure lipid profiles, and assess cardiac biomarkers for heart disease prevention.

Benefits:

• Keep your heart health in check: This test will help you monitor your heart health for your well-being as you grow older.


• Disease Detection: Be aware of any abnormalities in your heart health by taking these tests. Be aware of the signs and symptoms for a healthy life.

Who should consider this package?

• People with major risk factors: If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.


• Family history: Those with a strong family history of early heart disease, heart attacks, or sudden cardiac arrest.


• Lifestyle factors: Individuals who smoke, drink heavily, or lead a high-stress, sedentary lifestyle.


• Age and baseline findings: Adults over 40 - 50, or younger adults with risk profiles that prompt a doctor to dig deeper.


• Unexplained symptoms: Anyone experiencing subtle or recurring chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue during physical activity.

Components of the Test:

• Cardiology Specialist Consultation
• Lipid Profile (Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, VLDL) - The lipid profile measures the fats in your body including HDL (high density lipoprotein), LDL - (low density lipoprotein), Triglycerides and VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein). It’s a crucial test to determine cardiovascular conditions.


• Lipoprotein A - A lipoprotein (a) test measures the level of lipoprotein (a) in your blood. A high level may mean you are at risk for heart disease.


• Apolipoprotein A - This test measures the amount of apolipoprotein A in your blood. It helps your health care provider figure out your risk for cardiovascular disease.


• Apolipoprotein B: An Apo B test is a blood test that can help you know your risk of heart and blood vessel disease.


• Renal Function: Renal function tests (RFT) are a group of tests that may be performed together to evaluate kidney (renal) function.


• CKMB: A CK-MB test measures the level of CK-MB, a form of the creatine kinase enzyme, in a blood sample. It is used to help detect and assess damage to the heart.


• Troponin T: Troponin T test is a specialised blood test that measures the levels of cardiac troponin proteins in the blood. These proteins are released when the heart muscle is damaged.


• ECG: An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a quick test to see how the heart is beating. It checks the electrical signals in the heart.


• Echocardiogram (ECHO) - An echocardiogram is an ultrasound test that checks your heart's structure and function.
  
  After 3 months:
• Cardiology Specialist Consultation


• Lipid Profile (Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, VLDL) - The lipid profile measures the fats in your body including HDL (high density lipoprotein), LDL - (low density lipoprotein), Triglycerides and VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein). It’s a crucial test to determine cardiovascular conditions.


• Renal Function: Renal function tests (RFT) are a group of tests that may be performed together to evaluate kidney (renal) function.

Fasting Requirements:

• Fasting for 10 to 12 hours is preferred before blood and lipid profile sample collection.

Dietary Restrictions:

• Avoid food during the fasting period; only water is permitted

Medication Considerations:

• Inform your doctor if you are taking blood pressure medications, blood thinners, or cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Sample collection process:

• Blood sample collection + clinical diagnostics, ECG, and echocardiogram performed in the clinic.
