Specialized heart-focused assessment program for cardiovascular health optimization and disease prevention. Blood samples, ECG monitoring, ultrasound imaging. Designed for individuals with family history of heart disease, athletes, or anyone seeking detailed cardiac evaluation. Duration: ~3.5 hours. Pricing on request (contact clinic). Tests included: Resting ECG with Vector Analysis - advanced 18-channel electrocardiography providing detailed electrical heart activity mapping; Echocardiography - comprehensive heart ultrasound evaluating chamber dimensions, wall motion abnormalities, valve function, ejection fraction, diastolic function; Carotid Artery Ultrasound - neck vessel imaging measuring intima-media thickness (IMT) for early atherosclerosis detection, plaque visualization; Stress Testing - exercise ECG or pharmacological stress test assessing heart response to physical demand, detecting ischemia; VNS Analysis - heart rate variability (HRV) testing evaluating autonomic nervous system balance, parasympathetic/sympathetic tone, stress recovery; Comprehensive Laboratory Work (optional) - cardiac biomarkers including troponin, BNP/NT-proBNP (heart failure markers), hs-CRP (inflammation), homocysteine (cardiovascular risk), Lp(a) lipoprotein, advanced lipid panel (ApoB, oxidized LDL, small dense LDL particles). Detailed cardiologist consultation with personalized recommendations for cardiovascular risk reduction, lifestyle modifications, exercise prescription. Phone: 030 51999750 for pricing inquiry.
A lipid panel measures the fats and fatty substances in your blood that are key indicators of cardiovascular risk. The standard panel includes total cholesterol, LDL ("bad") cholesterol, HDL ("good") cholesterol, and triglycerides. Advanced panels may also measure ApoB, Lp(a), and lipoprotein particle size — markers that more accurately predict heart disease risk than standard cholesterol alone. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and lipid testing is one of the most effective tools for early risk detection. Regular monitoring allows you to track the impact of diet, exercise, and medication on your cardiovascular health.

Who Is This For?
Adults over 20 as part of routine cardiovascular risk screening. Anyone with a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, or stroke. People monitoring the effectiveness of statins or other lipid-lowering medications. Those with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, or obesity who face elevated cardiovascular risk.
What's Included
Preparation Required
Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw. Morning appointments are ideal for consistent hormone and glucose readings. The blood draw typically takes 5–10 minutes.
Biomarkers Tested
3The combined measure of all cholesterol in your blood, including HDL, LDL, and VLDL. While useful as an overview, the breakdown between HDL and LDL is more clinically meaningful for assessing cardiovascular risk.
Often called 'good' cholesterol, HDL carries cholesterol away from arteries back to the liver for removal. Higher HDL levels are protective against heart disease. Exercise, healthy fats, and moderate alcohol intake can raise HDL.
The most common type of fat in the body, stored for energy. Elevated triglycerides — often from excess sugar, alcohol, or calories — increase cardiovascular risk and can cause pancreatitis at very high levels.
