Description
The Cardiac Risk Profile is a comprehensive panel of tests designed to assess an individual’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease. This profile typically includes a lipid panel (measuring total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides), as well as other markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) for inflammation, homocysteine, and sometimes lipoprotein(a). It may also include tests for blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c to assess diabetes risk. The results of this profile help healthcare providers evaluate a patient’s overall cardiovascular health, predict the likelihood of future cardiac events, and guide preventive strategies and treatments to reduce heart disease risk.
