Cardio Pro Plus Description
The below following is the description for Cardio Pro Plus panel:
Cholesterol Total
The CBC is a standard blood test that evaluates key components like red and white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. It aids in diagnosing conditions and provides crucial insights into overall health.

Triglycerides
DHEA-Sulfate (Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys. It is a precursor to various sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. DHEA-Sulfate levels can be measured through a blood test to assess adrenal function and to investigate conditions related to hormonal balance. The test is often used in the evaluation of certain endocrine disorders and to understand the underlying causes of hormonal imbalances.
Lipid Panel
It is a blood test that assesses the function of the thyroid gland. It measures levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), providing insights into thyroid health and helping diagnose conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
HDL Cholesterol
TSH stands for Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone. It is a blood test that measures the level of this hormone produced by the pituitary gland. TSH is a key indicator used to assess thyroid function, helping to diagnose or monitor conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
LDL Cholesterol, calc.
T3 Free refers to a blood test that measures the amount of free triiodothyronine (T3), a thyroid hormone not bound to proteins. This test helps assess thyroid function, providing insights into metabolism and energy regulation. Abnormal T3 Free levels can indicate thyroid disorders.
Chol/HDL Ratio
T4 Free refers to a blood test that measures the amount of free thyroxine (T4), a thyroid hormone not bound to proteins. This test is used to assess thyroid function and can help diagnose or monitor conditions related to thyroid health, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
Sd LDL
The Fasting Insulin test measures the level of insulin in the blood after a period of fasting. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. This test is often used to assess insulin resistance, a condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin.
CRP, HS
Vitamin B12 is a crucial water-soluble vitamin essential for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation. A blood test assesses its levels, helping diagnose deficiencies that can lead to anemia and neurological problems.
Homocysteine
Hemoglobin A1C, in short, is a blood test that measures average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. It is commonly used to assess long-term diabetes management.
Lipoprotein (a)
Lipoprotein(a), often abbreviated as Lp(a), is a type of lipoprotein in the blood that carries cholesterol and proteins. Elevated levels of Lp(a) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease and stroke. Measuring Lp(a) levels through a blood test helps assess cardiovascular risk, especially in individuals with a family history of heart disease.
Apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo-A)
Apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo-A1) is a protein associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the "good cholesterol." Measuring Apo-A1 levels helps assess cardiovascular health, with higher levels linked to a lower risk of heart disease.
Apolipoprotein B (Apo-B)
Apolipoprotein B (Apo-B) is a protein involved in the transport of cholesterol in the bloodstream. It is a component of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, commonly known as "bad cholesterol." Measuring Apo-B levels through a blood test helps assess cardiovascular risk, as higher levels are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease.
Insulin Fasting
The Fasting Insulin test measures the level of insulin in the blood after a period of fasting. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. This test is often used to assess insulin resistance, a condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin.
PLAC (Lp-PLA2)
PLAC (Lp-PLA2) is a blood test that measures lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, an enzyme linked to vascular inflammation. Elevated levels may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular events, helping assess heart disease risk.
Vitamin D, 25- Hydroxy, Total
Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy, Total is a blood test that measures the overall levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the bloodstream. It assesses the body's vitamin D status, crucial for bone health and overall well-being.
CMP w/eGFR
CMP with eGFR is a blood test that combines a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), assessing various metabolic markers, with an estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), which gauges kidney function. It provides a comprehensive overview of metabolic health and kidney function.
CBC w/Diff
CBC with Diff is a complete blood count that includes a differential, providing a detailed analysis of various blood components, such as red and white blood cells and platelets. It helps diagnose and monitor a variety of medical conditions.
Thyroid Panel (Free T3,T4,TSH)
A Thyroid Panel, measuring Free T3, Free T4, and TSH levels, assesses thyroid function. TSH regulates thyroid hormone production, while Free T3 and Free T4 indicate the active thyroid hormones in the body. This panel helps diagnose thyroid disorders and provides insights into overall thyroid health.
Reverse T3
Reverse T3 (rT3) is an inactive form of triiodothyronine (T3), a thyroid hormone. It is produced in small amounts as a byproduct of thyroid hormone metabolism. Elevated levels of reverse T3 may occur in certain conditions, such as illness or stress, and it is considered a marker of thyroid dysfunction. Measuring reverse T3 levels can provide insights into the thyroid function and help assess thyroid health.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is a crucial water-soluble vitamin essential for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation. A blood test assesses its levels, helping diagnose deficiencies that can lead to anemia and neurological problems.
Testosterone, Free & Total w/SHBGT3
The SHBG test measures the levels of total and free testosterone in the blood, considering sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Total testosterone includes both bound and unbound forms, while free testosterone represents the unbound, active hormone available for use by the body. This test helps assess testosterone levels and understand how much is readily available for physiological functions.
