Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease, is a general term for a variety of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. It is the leading cause of death in the United States. Lab testing can help evaluate your risk of heart disease. Abnormal lipids like cholesterol and triglycerides, diabetes and prediabetes, amyloid deposition and other risk factors can be evaluated through lab testing. More specialized lipid testing other than the traditional testing is currently available which gives a better picture of your risk. We want to provide you with individual lab testing and panels to help evaluate this risk more fully.
