“Healthy Heart and Blood Vessels” - a comprehensive laboratory study

The heart and blood vessels play a key role in the functioning of the entire body. Early detection of possible disorders can prevent serious diseases such as heart attack, stroke, or heart failure. Comprehensive laboratory examination “Healthy heart and blood vessels”, offered by a medical laboratory Medilab, will help assess the condition of the cardiovascular system and identify potential risks in a timely manner.

Why is a comprehensive heart examination necessary?

Cardiovascular diseases often develop asymptomatically, and the first signs may appear already at the stage of complications. Laboratory tests allow to detect pathological changes even before the appearance of clinical symptoms. Regular monitoring is important for people:

• With high blood pressure;
• With a family history of cardiovascular disease;
• Those who suffer from diabetes or obesity;
• Smokers and people who lead a sedentary lifestyle;
• After 40 years of age, when the risk of heart disease increases.

Key indicators of the comprehensive study

A comprehensive examination includes 11 important laboratory tests, each of which provides valuable information about the health of the heart and blood vessels.

1. Complete blood count + leukocyte formula – allows you to detect anemia, inflammatory processes and the general condition of the body.
2. Coagulogram (Coagulation testing) – shows the state of blood clotting, which is important for the prevention of thrombosis.
3. D-dimer (quantitative determination) – a marker of thrombus formation, important for the diagnosis of thrombosis and embolism.
4. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) – an enzyme that allows you to assess the condition of the liver, which is closely related to the metabolism of lipids and cholesterol.
5. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) – another liver enzyme, an increase in which may indicate heart or liver problems.
6. Potassium (K+) – an important electrolyte for proper heart rhythm.
7. Magnesium (Mg) – affects the stability of heart rhythm and vascular tone.
8. Creatine kinase fraction MB (CK-MB) – a specific marker of heart muscle damage.
9. Homocysteine (HcySH) – high levels of this amino acid increase the risk of atherosclerosis.
10. Antistreptolysin O (ASLO) – an indicator of past streptococcal infections that can cause rheumatic heart disease.
11. Brain natriuretic propeptide (NT-proBNP) – important for diagnosing heart failure.

How to prepare for the analysis?

To get the most accurate results, it is recommended to:

1. Take the test in the morning on an empty stomach.
2. Avoid exercise, fatty foods, and alcohol 24 hours before the test.
3. Do not smoke for an hour before donating blood.
