What's included
4 deliverables in this treatment
- Full lipid profile: total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides (both tiers)
- Apolipoproteins A1 and B — advanced cardiovascular risk markers (EXPERT tier)
- Homocysteine — independent cardiovascular risk marker linked to B12/folate status (EXPERT tier)
- CRP (inflammatory risk marker) and glucose (both tiers)
Cardiovascular risk assessment panels covering the full lipid profile with apolipoproteins, homocysteine, high-sensitivity CRP, glucose, and cardiac-specific markers in a single venous blood draw at any of 136 Czech collection points. BASIC at 1,760 Kč; EXPERT at 2,180 Kč (22 parameters, adds apolipoproteins A1 and B plus homocysteine for advanced risk stratification). No GP referral needed. Cardiovascular disease accounts for 18.6 million deaths globally each year; most risk factors accumulate silently over decades without symptoms. Rated 4.95/5 across 19 reviews.
About this treatment
The Vyšetření srdce panels at Unilabs Online go substantially beyond a standard lipid test. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the Czech Republic; most of its risk factors — elevated LDL, hypertension, chronic inflammation, high homocysteine — accumulate silently over decades and are detectable only through blood testing.
The BASIC panel (1,760 Kč) provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular functions including the standard lipid quartet (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides), CRP (the inflammatory marker most predictive of near-term cardiovascular events), glucose (essential because insulin resistance independently elevates cardiovascular risk), and additional cardiac-specific markers. For most patients wanting an annual cardiovascular overview, BASIC…
The EXPERT panel (2,180 Kč, 22 parameters) adds apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB), which are increasingly preferred over HDL and LDL in cardiovascular risk stratification because they measure the actual lipoprotein particles that transport cholesterol through the bloodstream — particles being the proximal cause of atherosclerotic plaque, not the cholesterol content they carry. The ApoB/ApoA1 ratio is a stronger predictor of…

Panel categories
Biomarkers tested
6The 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.
Blood sugar — the body's primary energy source. Fasting glucose screens for diabetes and prediabetes. Chronically elevated glucose damages blood vessels and organs. Levels fluctuate with meals, stress, and physical activity.
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.
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.
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.
