Heart-related lab tests help diagnose heart diseases, assess risk factors, and monitor treatment.
Cardiac Risk Assessment Tests:
- Lipid Profile: Measures cholesterol and triglycerides, including:
- Total Cholesterol
- LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein)
- HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein)
- Triglycerides
- High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP): Measures inflammation linked to heart disease.
- Homocysteine Test: Elevated levels indicate a risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Apolipoproteins (ApoA1 & ApoB): Assess lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk.
- Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)]: High levels indicate a risk for heart disease.
Cardiac Biomarkers (Heart Attack Diagnosis):
- Troponin I & Troponin T: Highly specific markers for heart attack detection.
- Creatine Kinase-MB (CK-MB): Helps diagnose heart muscle damage.
- Myoglobin: Indicates muscle damage, including heart muscle.
- Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH): Elevated levels suggest tissue damage, including the heart.
Heart Function and Stress Tests:
- B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) & NT-proBNP: Markers for heart failure.
- Electrolyte Panel (Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium): Important for heart rhythm and function.
- Arterial Blood Gas (ABG): Measures oxygen and pH levels in blood, important for heart function.
Blood Clotting & Oxygen Tests:
- D-Dimer Test: Helps detect blood clots, which can lead to heart issues.
- Prothrombin Time (PT) & INR: Monitors blood clotting, crucial for patients on blood thinners.
