Vascular Inflammation Test

Cardiovascular diseases are conditions that are related to the narrowing of your blood vessels that cause chest pains, heart attacks, or strokes.

Heart disease is a type of cardiovascular disease that affects just your heart muscle, including coronary artery disease and abnormal heart rhythms.

Most people think of heart disease as one condition. But in fact, heart disease is a group of conditions with many different root causes.

50% of people with cardiovascular diseases have normal cholesterol, and 48% of adults in the United States suffer from heart disease.

The leading cause of death in the United States is due to cardiovascular disease for people of most racial and ethnic groups.

In the United States, the most common type of heart disease is coronary heart disease.

Testing your cardiovascular health allows you to establish a baseline for your health and understand your areas of improvement.

This allows your health care provider to assess any potential health risks and make your treatment more personalized.

The earlier your test, the sooner you can change your lifestyle habits to feel your best and live your healthiest life.

This test utilizes the Lp-PLA2 (PLAC) biomarker, which has been shown to be an independent risk factor for heart attack and stroke.

Lp-PLA2 is a better marker for assessing inflammation risk than hs-CRP and is also a strong predictor of secondary cardiovascular events.

Especially in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease, this makes it a helpful biomarker to monitor your condition.
