Cardiovascular Risk Panel
Beyond standard cholesterol — the advanced cardiovascular markers most GPs don't routinely check.
One-time payment of $269. GST included. No subscription.
What this panel measures
- Total Cholesterol — Total circulating cholesterol.
- HDL Cholesterol — Protective cholesterol.
- LDL Cholesterol — Non-protective; key target for heart-disease risk.
- Triglycerides — Circulating fats.
- Apolipoprotein A1 — Main protein in HDL; tracks the protective side of cholesterol transport.
- Apolipoprotein B — The actual count of all atherogenic particles — better than LDL alone.
- Lipoprotein(a) — Genetically determined risk marker rarely measured but highly relevant.
- Homocysteine — Independent cardiovascular risk marker tied to B vitamins.
- CRP (high-sensitivity) — Systemic inflammation.

Single blood draw, fasted (no food for 12 hours, water OK). Results back same day.
Frequently asked questions
Why apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein(a)?
ApoB measures the actual count of atherogenic particles — a better risk signal than LDL alone. Lp(a) is a genetic risk marker most people never get checked.
I'm already on a statin.
Test before your morning dose for consistency. The panel will show how well the medication is working.
Is CRP a heart-disease marker?
It's a marker of systemic inflammation, which tracks with cardiovascular risk and other conditions.
