Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease
Each year, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated
with more deaths than all cancers—and more deaths in women than breast
cancer. Unfortunately, diagnosis is typically made in the advanced stages of
the disease, after it has progressed for decades. Even though CVD appears to
involve a strong familial component, early detection and reduction of risk
factors are exceedingly important.
This Comprehensive Cardiovascular Risk Profile
provides extensive evaluation of biomarkers of abnormal lipoprotein
metabolism, inflammation, coagulation, glomerular filtration and glucose
homeostasis, as well as the status of magnesium, iron and key antioxidants.
Risk Factors and Analysis
Lipoprotein-Related Biomarkers
Total and LDL cholesterol, total triglycerides and
HDL cholesterol have traditionally been measured to gauge CVD risk. However,
recent research indicates that more focused biomarkers can provide even
greater insight. For example, oxidized LDL and small dense LDL have been
found to be higher in CVD patients and correlated with the severity of CVD.
In addition, levels of apolipoproteins A1 and B, specific protein
constituents of HDL and LDL, are also strong indicators of risk.
Inflammation
Arterial damage is associated with the infiltration
of white cells into vessel walls and inflammation, which increases blood
levels of two acute phase proteins, C-reactive protein and ferritin.
Although not specific to CVD, analysis of these two proteins is valuable in
assessing CVD risk.
Oxidative Stress, Glomerular Filtration
and Blood Glucose
Because oxidative stress is a component of CVD, the
Comprehensive Cardiovascular Risk Profile measures plasma levels of three
primary antioxidants—coenzyme Q10 and alpha and gamma tocopherol. The test
also looks for elevated serum homocysteine, which has long been established
as a risk factor, C-Reactive Protein, an inflammatory marker, and finally,
long-term blood glucose homeostasis and glomerular filtration assessments
round out the battery of risk factors analyzed.
