What is the purpose of this test?
The Cardio Plus Blood Test Panel is designed to give a detailed view of your heart health and overall wellness. It includes a Lipid Panel, which measures levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. High levels of these fats can increase the risk of heart disease, so this test helps doctors understand your risk for heart-related conditions. The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) with eGFR checks how well your liver and kidneys are working, along with important electrolytes and blood sugar levels. This helps in assessing your general health and detecting any potential issues early on.
Additionally, the panel includes a Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential and Platelets, which provides information about the different types of blood cells in your body. This test helps to identify conditions like anemia or infections and shows how well your blood is functioning overall. By combining these tests, the Cardio Plus Blood Test Panel offers a comprehensive view of your heart health and other key aspects of your wellness, helping doctors to make informed decisions about your care.
