Assess cardiovascular risk with a heart health test including a lipid panel, ApoB, DRI, and GlycA

This expanded heart health test measures key indicators of cardiovascular and metabolic health to help you and your healthcare provider understand your risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and developing Type 2 diabetes. Key indicators measured include apolipoprotein B (ApoB), Diabetes Risk Index (DRI), GlycA, cholesterol and lipids.

Note: This test is not intended to diagnose CVD, type 2 diabetes, or other diseases.

What's Tested

Total Cholesterol

A measure of the total sum of cholesterol (LDL, HDL, and VLDL) circulating in the body.
Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL ) Cholesterol

Measures the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol is known as the “bad” cholesterol because LDL particles can build up in the walls of your arteries, which increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.
High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol

Measures the amount of HDL cholesterol in the blood. HDL is known as "good" cholesterol because it comes from particles that remove "bad "cholesterol from the body, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Triglycerides

Measures the amount of triglycerides, a type of fat that circulates in your blood and comes from adipose, the primary fat stored from food used to provide your energy. High triglyceride levels can increase the risk of heart disease.
Non-HDL Cholesterol

Measures total cholesterol in your blood minus HDL cholesterol, representing all “bad” cholesterol types that can contribute to heart disease.
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)

ApoB is the major protein on LDL particles which carry substances in your blood that help make plaque, a waxy fat that can block your arteries. An ApoB test measures the amount of ApoB in the blood. An elevated level of ApoB may indicate an increased risk for cardiovascular disease.¹
GlycA

GlycA is a biomarker for systemic inflammation and cardiometabolic risk that measures levels of glycosylated acute-phase proteins. Elevated levels of GlycA have been associated with a higher risk of various conditions, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes.² GlycA can be a predictor of chronic inflammation, which is known to contribute to the development of these diseases.²
Diabetes Risk Index (DRI)

DRI is a biomarker score for insulin resistance and evaluates factors that contribute to your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. This insulin resistance test goes beyond measuring blood sugar. It analyzes specific lipids (lipoproteins) and certain amino acids that are linked to insulin resistance. By combining these results, this test creates a score that healthcare providers can use to assess your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. This is especially helpful for people with normal blood sugar levels, as it can identify those who might be at higher risk despite not yet showing classic symptoms. A higher DRI score can indicate a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.³

Early detection and proactive prevention

By understanding your levels for key heart health indicators, you can take proactive steps to manage your health for a longer, healthier life. This heart health test can help you and your healthcare provider detect early signs of cardiometabolic conditions such as abnormal lipid levels, insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, empowering you to address these risks with lifestyle changes and preventive treatments.

Personal or family history of heart health risk

If you have a family history of cardiovascular conditions or diabetes, or if you have had a previous cardiovascular event, you may be at higher risk of cardiovascular disease or Type 2 diabetes. This heart test can detect early indicators of disease and help in proactively managing potential risks.

Measure your healthy heart milestones

Lifestyle changes such as healthy dietary choices, exercise or weight loss programs can help reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and other conditions. Testing and monitoring key heart health indicators such as ApoB, GlycA, DRI, cholesterol and lipids can help you and your healthcare provider evaluate and manage the risks associated with heart disease, diabetes and related conditions. It can also help you tailor dietary and lifestyle changes to decrease your risk.

FAQ

Tests such as our Complete Heart Health Test can assess your heart health and help you and your healthcare provider identify risks or concerns. This panel includes the following tests that provide a deeper understanding of your cardiovascular health:

Lipid Panel: High levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and low levels of HDL cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) Test: An elevated level of ApoB may indicate an increased risk for CVD¹
GlycA Test: An inflammatory biomarker for CVD and Type 2 diabetes risk assessment
Diabetes Risk Index (DRI): A higher DRI score can indicate a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes³

Other OnDemand tests that can help check your heart health include Diabetes Risk (HbA1c) Test, Lipoprotein(a) Test and the Weight Management Test. Speak with your healthcare provider about testing options that are right for you.
Factors such as health conditions, lifestyle, age and family history can increase your risk for heart disease. Risk factors include:

Existing cardiometabolic conditions such as diabetes, prediabetes or elevated lipid levels
Existing inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease
Age (CVD risk increases as you age)

Family history of heart disease, hypertension or diabetes
Factors such as smoking, obesity or a sedentary lifestyle
This expanded heart health test may be right for you if:

You have an existing cardiometabolic condition such as diabetes, prediabetes and elevated lipid levels
You have an existing inflammatory condition such as rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease
You’re concerned your age puts you at increased risk
You have a family history of heart disease, hypertension or diabetes
You smoke, have obesity or live a sedentary lifestyle
You’re looking to understand your risk of CVD and want to identify preventive healthcare measures to achieve and maintain the desired level of cardiometabolic health
GlycA and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) are both blood tests used to assess inflammation, but there are key differences. GlycA measures glycosylated acute-phase proteins, offering a broad view of systemic inflammation, and it is useful in evaluating chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.² In contrast, hs-CRP measures the specific level of C-reactive protein, a marker that rises quickly in response to acute inflammation, making it ideal for detecting short-term inflammatory responses and assessing cardiovascular risk.
