A targeted blood panel assessing cardiovascular risk factors including lipid profile, inflammatory markers, and metabolic indicators. Available from 06:30 at Eiffel Clinic and from 07:00 at all other locations with a 3,000 HUF sample handling fee.
The cardiovascular risk panel combines the most clinically validated blood markers for assessing heart disease and stroke risk into a single draw. The panel covers a complete lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides), inflammatory markers relevant to arterial health, and metabolic indicators that contribute to cardiovascular risk stratification. These markers feed into established risk calculators used by cardiologists to estimate 10-year cardiovascular event probability. Elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, low HDL, and raised inflammatory markers form the biochemical basis for decisions about dietary intervention, exercise programmes, and preventive medication. The panel is available at all four Budapest locations. Eiffel Clinic opens earliest at 06:30 for morning fasting draws. A 3,000 HUF sample handling fee applies in addition to the panel price. Results are delivered online within one to two business days. Fasting for 10-12 hours is recommended for accurate lipid measurements.

Panel Categories
Biomarkers Tested
14The main protein component of HDL cholesterol particles. Higher ApoA1 levels reflect more HDL particles and are associated with lower cardiovascular risk. The ApoB/ApoA1 ratio is a powerful predictor of heart disease.
The primary protein on LDL and VLDL particles. Each atherogenic lipoprotein particle carries exactly one ApoB molecule, making it a direct measure of the number of particles that can enter artery walls. Considered a superior predictor of cardiovascular risk compared to LDL cholesterol.
A protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. CRP rises rapidly during infection, injury, or inflammatory conditions. It's a general marker — elevated CRP signals inflammation but doesn't pinpoint the source.
A protein essential for blood clotting that also serves as an inflammation marker. Elevated fibrinogen increases blood viscosity and clot risk, contributing to cardiovascular disease independent of cholesterol levels.
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.
An amino acid produced during protein metabolism. Elevated homocysteine is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cognitive decline. Levels are lowered by adequate B12, folate, and B6 intake.
A highly sensitive test for low-grade chronic inflammation linked to cardiovascular disease risk. Lower hs-CRP values are associated with better cardiovascular outcomes.
Often called 'bad' cholesterol, LDL deposits cholesterol in artery walls, contributing to plaque buildup and atherosclerosis. LDL is the primary target for cardiovascular risk reduction through diet, exercise, and medication.
Lp(a) is a cholesterol-carrying particle linked to genetic risk for heart disease. High levels increase cardiovascular risk.
Marker of heart stress and function
The 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.
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.
Troponin is a protein involved in heart muscle contraction. Elevated levels are a marker of heart damage, often used to diagnose heart attacks.
