How healthy are your heart and blood vessels?

Cholesterol as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Cholesterol plays a central role in the health of your heart and blood vessels. An imbalance between HDL (‘good’ cholesterol) and LDL (‘bad’ cholesterol) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. An elevated LDL level can lead to the buildup of plaque in the blood vessels, significantly increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Our cholesterol test measures not only your total cholesterol but also the ratios of HDL, LDL, and triglycerides, giving you a complete picture of your cholesterol levels.

What is tested?

HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and their ratios.

Why take this test?

A high LDL level can be harmful to your blood vessels and heart. This test helps you gain early insight into your cholesterol levels so that you can take timely action to protect your heart health.

The essential fatty acids for cardiovascular disease.

Omega-3 fatty acids are of great importance for maintaining healthy heart function and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. They support anti-inflammatory processes in the body and promote a good cholesterol balance. Our Omega-3 test provides insight into the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your blood and helps you determine if there is a good balance between omega-3 and omega-6.

What is tested?

Ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids.

Why this test?

A proper balance between omega-3 and omega-6 contributes to healthy cardiovascular function. With this test, you can discover whether your diet needs adjustments to protect your heart.

A hidden risk.

Chronic, low-grade inflammation can contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease unnoticed. Our cardiovascular disease test measures the level of hs-CRP (high-sensitive C-reactive protein) in your blood. An elevated hs-CRP level may indicate dormant inflammation that could potentially damage your blood vessels.

What is tested?

The level of hs-CRP in your blood.

Why this test?

Inflammation can damage the blood vessel walls, which promotes the accumulation of bad cholesterol in the blood vessels. With this test, you gain insight into your inflammation level and can take preventive action.

Impact on cardiovascular disease

A stable blood sugar level is of great importance for healthy heart function and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. With our diabetes self-test, you measure both your average blood sugar levels (HbA1c) and the glucose level in your urine. This gives you a complete picture of your blood sugar level and allows you to discover whether there is insulin resistance, which can contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

What is tested?

HbA1c values ​​and glucose in urine.

Why take this test?

A persistently high blood sugar level can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart problems. With this test, you gain insight into your sugar metabolism and can make timely adjustments to your lifestyle.
