At Beyond Health, we believe that understanding your heart health is the first step toward a longer, healthier life. Our state-of-the-art Advanced Cardiovascular Risk Assessment goes beyond traditional cholesterol tests to provide a comprehensive picture of your cardiovascular risk. By leveraging cutting-edge biomarkers like ApoB, Lp(a), and Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Scoring, we empower you with the knowledge to take control of your heart health.
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, but many standard tests, like basic lipid panels, may miss critical risk factors. Our advanced assessment dives deeper, identifying hidden risks that could otherwise go unnoticed. Here’s what sets our approach apart:
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is a protein found on the surface of atherogenic lipoproteins, such as LDL (“bad cholesterol”), VLDL, and Lp(a). Unlike standard LDL cholesterol tests, which measure the amount of cholesterol in these particles, ApoB counts the actual number of harmful particles circulating in your blood. Research shows that ApoB is a more accurate predictor of cardiovascular risk, especially for individuals with conditions like diabetes, obesity, or metabolic syndrome, where LDL cholesterol levels may appear normal but risk remains high.
By measuring ApoB, Beyond Health helps identify individuals who may be at risk despite “normal” cholesterol levels, ensuring no one slips through the cracks.
Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a genetically determined lipoprotein that increases the risk of atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and stroke. Unlike other lipid markers, Lp(a) levels are largely unaffected by diet or lifestyle, making it a critical factor to measure for those with a family history of heart disease. Elevated Lp(a) can significantly raise your risk, even if other cholesterol levels are within healthy ranges.
At Beyond Health, we test for Lp(a) to provide a complete picture of your genetic cardiovascular risk, enabling targeted strategies to manage this often-overlooked factor.
Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Scoring is a non-invasive imaging test that uses specialized X-rays to detect calcified plaque in your coronary arteries. The presence of calcium indicates atherosclerosis, a buildup of plaque that can lead to heart attack or stroke. A higher CAC score signals a greater risk of future cardiovascular events, making this test a powerful tool for assessing heart health.
Our CAC Scoring provides a clear, visual representation of your arterial health, helping you and your healthcare provider decide on the best course of action to prevent heart disease.
Our Advanced Cardiovascular Risk Assessment is ideal for anyone looking to take a proactive approach to their heart health, especially those with:
