Cardiovascular risk encompasses much more than cholesterol levels. Get the full picture with the Cardiovascular Health BioMap

If your Cardiovascular Health BioMap reveals abnormalities, consider following up with a Coronary Calcium CT Scan.

BioMap included tests are listed below.

    • Reference range: <90 mg/dL

    • Optimal range: <80 (60–80 is great)

    • Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) carries LDL cholesterol and other potentially harmful lipid particles around the body.

    • It includes all cholesterol particles that can form plaque in your arteries and lead to cardiovascular disease.

    • Levels of ApoB can identify risk of cardiovascular disease, even if traditional LDL cholesterol levels are normal.

    • CBC examines the three major components of blood: RBCs, WBCs, and Platelets.

    • RBC Health (oxygen transport & anemia assessment): Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, MCH, MCHC, MCV, RBC Count, RDW.

    • WBC Health (immune response): Basophils, Eosinophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Neutrophils, WBC Count

    • Platelet Health (clotting & bleeding disorders): MPV, Platelet Count

    • Biomarkers: 33

    • Absolute Band Neutrophils

    • Absolute Basophils

    • Absolute Blasts

    • Absolute Eosinophils

    • Absolute Lymphocytes

    • Absolute Metamyelocytes

    • Absolute Monocytes

    • Absolute Myelocytes

    • Absolute Neutrophils

    • Absolute Nucleated Rbc

    • Absolute Promyelocytes

    • Band Neutrophils

    • Basophils

    • Blasts

    • Eosinophils

    • Hematocrit

    • Hemoglobin

    • Lymphocytes

    • Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)

    • Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)

    • Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)

    • Metamyelocytes

    • Monocytes

    • Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)

    • Myelocytes

    • Neutrophils

    • Nucleated Rbc

    • Platelet Count

    • Promyelocytes

    • Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)

    • Reactive Lymphocytes

    • Red Blood Cell Count

    • White Blood Cell Count

    • Reference range:  <5.7% of total Hgb

    • Optimal range: <5.2%

    • Hemoglobin A1c measures the average amount of blood sugar (glucose) level for the past two to three months.

    • The blood level of glucose is tightly controlled by hormones, especially insulin produced by the pancreas.

    • In people with diabetes, insulin is either less effective or not produced in sufficient quantity, thus making it harder to manage the amount of sugar passing through the blood.

    • Reference range: <3 mg/L

    • Optimal range: <1

    • Highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is made by the liver in response to infection, tissue injury or inflammation.

    • Even with normal cholesterol and blood pressure, elevated hs-CRP levels can indicate hidden inflammation, which plays a critical role in plaque buildup, as well as heart attack and stroke risk.

    • Biomarkers: 6

    • Chol/HDLC Ratio

    • Cholesterol, Total

    • HDL Cholesterol

    • LDL-Cholesterol

    • Non HDL Cholesterol

    • Triglycerides

    • Reference range: <75 nmol/L is optimal

    • Lipoproteins are parcels made of fat and protein and Lp(a) is a large lipoprotein made by the liver.

    • The job of lipoproteins is to carry fats (also called lipids) around the body in the blood (LDL cholesterol is a lipoprotein).

    • Elevated levels of Lp(a) in the blood are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and is associated with atherosclerosis (furring up of arteries), heart attacks, strokes, aortic valve disease, and heart failure. 

    • Lp(a) levels are inherited and are not strongly influenced by lifestyle changes like diet or exercise.
