Heart Health Panel

Affordable Cardiac Risk Screening Panel with Lipids, hs-CRP and Homocysteine

The Heart Health Panel is a focused blood testing panel designed to help screen important markers related to cardiovascular wellness, cholesterol health, inflammation, and heart disease risk.

This panel combines three commonly ordered heart health tests into one convenient and affordable order: a Lipid Panel, High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, hs-CRP, and Homocysteine.

At the listed price of $129, this panel offers an affordable way to check multiple cardiovascular risk markers without using insurance. Broader heart health panels elsewhere may cost significantly more and may include different or additional markers, so this is a strong value for customers who want a simple, focused heart health screening option.

This service provides access to lab testing only. It is intended as a screening and monitoring tool and does not diagnose, treat, or replace care from a licensed healthcare provider.

✔ Includes 3 heart health tests in one panel
✔ Checks cholesterol, inflammation, and homocysteine
✔ Affordable compared with many broader cardiac panels
✔ Doctor's order included
✔ No insurance required

⏱ Typical turnaround: results are usually emailed in 1–3 days.

What This Panel Includes

Three Key Heart Health Tests

This panel includes:

• Lipid Panel
• C-Reactive Protein, High Sensitivity, hs-CRP
• Homocysteine

Together, these tests provide a focused look at cholesterol levels, inflammation-related cardiovascular risk, and homocysteine levels that may be reviewed with your healthcare provider.

Lipid Panel

The Lipid Panel is one of the most common blood tests used to assess cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

A typical lipid panel may include:

• Total Cholesterol - Measures the total amount of cholesterol in the blood.
• LDL Cholesterol - Often called bad cholesterol because high levels may contribute to plaque buildup in arteries.
• HDL Cholesterol - Often called good cholesterol because it helps carry cholesterol away from the arteries.
• Triglycerides - A type of fat in the blood that may be associated with cardiovascular risk when elevated.
• VLDL or calculated lipid values - May be included depending on the lab report format.

High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, hs-CRP

hs-CRP measures low levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation. Inflammation can be associated with cardiovascular risk and may be reviewed along with cholesterol, blood pressure, family history, and other health factors.

hs-CRP does not show where inflammation is coming from. It should be interpreted with your symptoms, medical history, and other lab results.

Homocysteine

Homocysteine is an amino acid found in the blood. Elevated homocysteine levels may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk and may also be reviewed in relation to vitamin B12, folate, kidney function, genetics, and overall health.

Homocysteine results should be reviewed with a healthcare provider to determine whether additional testing or follow-up is appropriate.

Why These Tests Matter

• Cholesterol screening - Helps evaluate lipid levels that are commonly used in heart disease risk assessment.
• Inflammation insight - hs-CRP may provide additional information beyond cholesterol alone.
• Homocysteine monitoring - May help identify another cardiovascular risk-related marker.
• Early awareness - Many people do not know their numbers until they test.
• Provider follow-up - Results can help guide a more informed conversation with your healthcare provider.

Affordable Heart Health Screening

Heart health testing can become expensive when tests are ordered separately or when broader advanced cardiac panels are purchased. This panel keeps the focus on three commonly used cardiovascular markers and bundles them into one simple order.

If you need a more advanced cardiac panel, such as ApoB, Lipoprotein(a), NMR lipoprotein testing, insulin resistance markers, or additional metabolic testing, you may need a different or expanded panel. If you want a focused and cost-conscious starting point, this Heart Health Panel is a practical option.

Who May Consider This Panel?

This panel may be appropriate for:

• Adults who want an affordable heart health screening panel
• Individuals monitoring cholesterol or triglycerides
• People with a family history of heart disease or stroke
• Customers interested in inflammation-related heart risk markers
• Individuals who want homocysteine checked along with cholesterol
• People who want a doctor-ordered lab test without using insurance
• Anyone whose healthcare provider recommended these tests

Important Symptom Warning

If you have chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness, severe dizziness, jaw or arm pain, fainting, sudden confusion, stroke-like symptoms, or any urgent medical concern, seek emergency medical care immediately.

Do not use this panel as a substitute for urgent medical evaluation. Lab testing is not appropriate for emergency symptoms.

Important: Screening Only

LabReqs and SchoolTiters provide access to lab testing. We do not diagnose heart disease, prescribe medication, provide treatment, or manage cardiovascular conditions.

This panel may provide useful screening information, but results should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider, especially if results are abnormal, symptoms are present, or you have a personal or family history of heart disease.

Important Limitations

• This panel does not diagnose heart disease, heart attack, stroke, or blocked arteries.
• Normal results do not guarantee that you have no cardiovascular risk.
• Abnormal results should be reviewed with a healthcare provider.
• Additional testing may be needed depending on your age, symptoms, history, blood pressure, diabetes status, smoking history, and family history.
• This panel does not include ApoB, Lipoprotein(a), NMR particle testing, glucose, A1c, insulin, CBC, CMP, or thyroid testing.

Before Ordering

• Fasting may be recommended for lipid testing, especially for triglycerides. Follow the instructions provided with your lab order.
• If your provider requested a specific cardiac panel or advanced marker, confirm this product includes the required tests before ordering.
• If you are taking cholesterol medication or heart medication, do not stop any medication unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
• If you are unsure which heart health test is right for you, ask your healthcare provider before ordering.
