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
