051 - Cardiovascular and Metabolic Panel Plus (29 tests)

CardioPro Plus

Fasting Required

The Cardiovascular and Metabolic Panel Plus is an advanced cardiovascular and metabolic blood test that provides a comprehensive evaluation of heart disease risk, cholesterol particle patterns, inflammation, insulin regulation, and key hormone and wellness markers. This panel goes far beyond a standard lipid panel by measuring LDL particle number, lipoprotein fractionation, vascular inflammation, and additional cardiometabolic risk factors. It is commonly ordered for individuals with a family history of heart disease, elevated cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, weight concerns, hormone optimization monitoring, or for a more detailed longevity and cardiovascular prevention assessment. The panel includes 29 tests: Lipid & Cholesterol Screening Lipid Panel: Measures overall cholesterol balance and includes key cardiovascular markers: Cholesterol, Total: Total circulating cholesterol level Triglycerides: Fat metabolism marker linked to insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk HDL Cholesterol: “Good” cholesterol protective for heart health LDL Cholesterol (calculated): “Bad” cholesterol associated with plaque risk Chol/HDL Ratio: Overall cardiovascular risk indicator Advanced Lipoprotein Fractionation Lipoprotein Fractionation: Provides detailed analysis of cholesterol particle size and density: LDL Particle Number: One of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular risk LDL Small / LDL Medium: Smaller particles are more atherogenic HDL Large: Protective HDL particle subclass LDL Pattern: Identifies high-risk cholesterol profiles LDL Peak Size: Measures LDL particle size distribution. Small Dense LDL (sdLDL): High-risk LDL subtype strongly linked to plaque formation Inflammation & Vascular Risk High Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP): Measures low-grade inflammation associated with cardiovascular disease PLAC Test (Lp-PLA2): Marker of vascular inflammation and plaque activity Metabolic & Cardiometabolic Markers Homocysteine: A cardiovascular and nutrient-related risk marker Insulin, Fasting: Evaluates insulin resistance, a major driver of cardiometabolic disease Genetic & Particle Risk Enhancers Lipoprotein(a): Inherited cholesterol particle associated with increased heart risk Apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo-A): Major protein component of protective HDL Apolipoprotein B (Apo-B): Key marker of total atherogenic (plaque-forming) particles Core Wellness & Organ Function Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy, Total: Important for cardiovascular health, immune support, and inflammation control Vitamin B12: Supports energy, nerve health, and metabolic function Comprehensive Metabolic Panel with eGFR (CMP w/eGFR): Assesses liver function, kidney function, electrolytes, and blood glucose Complete Blood Count with Differential (CBC w/Diff): Evaluates immune status, anemia, and overall blood health Thyroid & Hormone Optimization Support Thyroid Panel (Free T3, Free T4, TSH): Full thyroid evaluation, critical for metabolism and cardiovascular regulation Reverse T3: Additional thyroid marker often used in functional and longevity care Testosterone, Free & Total with SHBG: Assesses androgen balance, metabolic health, and hormone optimization status
