Basic Heart Health Panel

The Basic Heart Health Panel is a comprehensive screening designed to identify early risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including high cholesterol, high blood sugar, inflammation, and metabolic imbalances. Heart disease often develops silently over time, and this panel helps uncover warning signs before symptoms appear.

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. Regular heart health testing plays a critical role in prevention by detecting conditions such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and early metabolic dysfunction that contribute to heart disease and stroke.

This panel evaluates multiple systems that directly affect heart health, including blood vessels, kidney function, inflammation, and glucose regulation. By examining these markers together, it provides a well-rounded view of cardiovascular risk rather than relying on a single measurement.

When performed routinely, typically once per year, the Basic Heart Health Panel allows individuals and healthcare providers to track trends over time, intervene early, and make informed lifestyle or treatment decisions that can significantly reduce long-term cardiovascular risk.

What Is Included In This Test?

The Basic Heart Health Panel includes the following key tests:

• Lipid and Cholesterol Panel: Measures total cholesterol, LDL (“bad” cholesterol), HDL (“good” cholesterol), and triglycerides to assess cardiovascular risk

• Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Evaluates electrolytes, glucose, kidney function, and liver enzymes that impact heart rhythm and blood pressure

• Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential: Assesses red and white blood cells and platelets to identify conditions linked to coronary heart disease

• High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP): Detects low-grade inflammation associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease

• Routine Urinalysis: Screens for kidney dysfunction and diabetes-related changes that can contribute to heart disease

Together, these tests provide a broad and actionable assessment of heart and metabolic health.

Why Does This Test Matter?

Many cardiovascular conditions develop gradually and without obvious symptoms. By the time symptoms appear, damage may already be advanced. This panel helps identify risk factors early, when prevention is most effective.

Tracking heart health markers over time allows for timely lifestyle changes, medication adjustments, and targeted interventions. Even modest improvements in cholesterol, glucose, or inflammation can significantly lower the risk of heart attack or stroke.

Regular testing also supports personalized care. For example, rising LDL cholesterol or inflammation levels across consecutive tests may signal the need for dietary changes, increased physical activity, or further evaluation.

Ultimately, this test empowers proactive heart health management and supports long-term wellness through early detection and prevention.

Who Should Consider This Test?

This panel is ideal for anyone who wants to monitor or protect their cardiovascular health.

You should consider this test if you:

• Want a baseline assessment of heart health
• Have a family history of heart disease or stroke
• Have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes
• Are physically inactive or smoke tobacco
• Are 65 years of age or older
• Have had a prior cardiovascular event
• Want to track heart health annually

Early awareness allows for smarter prevention and better long-term outcomes.
