Cardiac Profile

About Test:

The cardiac profile is a comprehensive panel of tests that is used to check the overall functioning of the heart. By looking at the concentration of fats, certain enzymes, and the composition of urine and blood, it becomes easier for clinicians to evaluate the health of the heart.

CBC:

The Complete Blood Count is a test that provides information about the composition of our blood. It measures the partial and differential white blood cells, red blood cells, as well as platelets.

Cholesterol:

This blood test measures the levels of different kinds of cholesterol (High and low density). Cholesterol is a waxy fat-like substance in the blood. High-density cholesterol helps to transport fats, whereas low-density variants may block blood vessels. High LDL indicates a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

SGOT:

This blood test measures the levels of SGOT, which is an enzyme present in the liver, skeletal, muscle, brain, red blood cells, and the heart. High concentrations of SGOT may indicate damaged tissues, especially an injury of the heart due to a heart attack.

CPK:

This test measures levels of Creatine phosphokinase, which helps in the production of creatine, found in skeletal and cardiac muscles, brain, bladder, stomach, and colon. Low levels may indicate muscle problems, as well as the injury of the heart due to a heart attack.

LDH:

This blood test measures levels of LDH, which speeds up the usage of lactate and pyruvate in the body. It is present in the red blood cells and may be present in large amounts if a heart attack or cardiac injury has occurred.

Estimation of blood sugar (Fasting):

This blood test measures glucose in the blood, which comes from carbohydrates, in the fasting state. Glucose gives us energy and is regulated by insulin in the blood. Low levels indicate hypoglycemia and very high glucose levels may indicate diabetes.

Urine routine:

This test of the urine is a cost-effective screening to evaluate color, appearance, volume, density, pH, glucose, proteins, blood cells, glucose, bile salts, pigments and infective elements in the urine. High levels of protein within the urine may indicate a higher risk for cardiovascular issues.
