Cardio Metabolic Risk Premium

Two of the most prevalent health conditions today are heart disease and diabetes. This profile takes a proactive approach to evaluating your risk for both of these conditions. The Premium Cardio Metabolic Risk panel offers more sensitive tests for early indicators of heart disease—including the NMR lipoprotein. The NMR lipoprotein uses nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to evaluate and count the number of low-density cholesterol, high-density and very low-density lipoprotein particles in the blood sample; this test accurately detects cholesterol build up in the arteries at a very early stage.
