Cardiac health involves maintaining the well-being of the heart and blood vessels, which is crucial to prevent heart diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, healthy lifestyle habits and regular cardiac testing are essential to maintain good cardiac health. Poor cardiac health can lead to detrimental risks such as heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and even death.
Aging results in structural changes and functional decline of the cardiovascular system and is therefore one of the major determinants of cardiovascular risks. Increasing age is accompanied by vascular stiffening, plaque formation, reduction of the bioavailability of vasodilators, an increase in vasoconstrictors, altered contractility, and poor cardiac injury repair. These factors lead to the age-associated risk of atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke, thus affecting lifespan.
Our Cardiac Health Panel combines multiple markers to assess current risk of heart disease and the CardiaX Test for understanding your genetic predisposition to various cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, insulin resistance, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and dyslipidemia.
