Cardiac (Heart) Profile

About This Package
A heart-risk panel that looks beyond basic cholesterol to include Apo-A1, Apo-B, Lp(a), and high-sensitivity troponin. Apo-B reflects the number of “bad” cholesterol particles; Apo-A1 relates to “good” cholesterol function; Lp(a) captures genetic risk; Hs-Trop can detect heart-muscle injury. This helps refine prevention plans, especially if standard lipids are borderline. It’s useful for people with family history or prior heart issues.
