Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of illness and death worldwide. Many cardiovascular conditions develop silently over several years, often without noticeable symptoms until a major event such as a heart attack or stroke occurs.
At Thyrovision, our Cardiac Risk Panels are designed to identify important cardiovascular risk factors early, enabling timely lifestyle changes, medical intervention, and ongoing monitoring. These panels provide valuable information about cholesterol levels, blood sugar, inflammation, and other markers associated with heart health.
Why is Cardiac Risk Assessment Important?
Several factors contribute to the development of heart disease, including high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, family history, and chronic inflammation. A comprehensive laboratory evaluation helps your physician estimate cardiovascular risk and develop a personalized prevention strategy.

What Does the Panel Help Assess?
Our Cardiac Risk Panels help evaluate:
Understanding Key Cardiac Risk Markers
Lipid Profile evaluates total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. HbA1c measures average blood sugar levels over the previous 2-3 months and helps assess diabetes-related cardiovascular risk. hs-CRP is a marker of low-grade inflammation that may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is an inherited lipid particle; elevated levels are associated with a higher lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease. Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) reflects the total number of potentially atherogenic lipoprotein particles. Homocysteine is an amino acid that, when elevated in certain individuals, may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
Preparing for Your Test
For optimal accuracy, an overnight fasting period of 8-12 hours is recommended for tests that include fasting glucose and lipid profile. Continue prescribed medications unless instructed otherwise by your physician, and inform the laboratory about all medications and dietary supplements you are taking.
