Panel overview

Know your heart numbers. This panel combines a full lipid profile with inflammation markers to give you a clear picture of your cardiovascular risk — and the information you need to take action.

Included tests and biomarkers

Inflammation Markers

Sample: Blood Turnaround: 2 days
CRP (High Sensitivity) ESR

Test description

Inflammation is your body's natural defence mechanism, but chronic low-grade inflammation can quietly increase health risks. This test picks up inflammatory signals that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Biomarker descriptions

CRP (High Sensitivity)

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein detects low-grade inflammation throughout the body. Mildly elevated levels are linked to increased cardiovascular risk, even when you feel perfectly well.

ESR

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube. Faster settling indicates inflammation somewhere in the body and can help track chronic conditions.

Lipid Profile

Sample: Blood Turnaround: 2 days
Total Cholesterol HDL Cholesterol LDL Cholesterol Triglycerides
Show details

Test description

A comprehensive look at the fats circulating in your blood. This test measures your cholesterol and triglyceride levels to help assess your cardiovascular risk and guide heart-healthy decisions.

Biomarker descriptions

Total Cholesterol

A measure of all the cholesterol circulating in your blood. While cholesterol is essential for building cells and producing hormones, too much can increase your risk of heart disease.

HDL Cholesterol

Often called 'good' cholesterol, HDL helps carry excess cholesterol away from your arteries and back to the liver for removal. Higher levels are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.

LDL Cholesterol

Known as 'bad' cholesterol, LDL can build up on artery walls and form plaques that narrow blood vessels. Keeping LDL in range is one of the most important steps for heart health.

Triglycerides

Triglycerides are fats your body stores for energy. Elevated levels — often linked to diet, alcohol intake, or metabolic conditions — can contribute to artery hardening and increase cardiovascular risk.
