Cholesterol & Heart Health
Cholesterol and triglycerides build up in artery walls. Cardiac enzymes detect heart muscle damage. Together they show your heart attack and stroke risk.
- Total Cholesterol
All cholesterol particles in your blood added together.
- LDL Cholesterol
The 'bad' cholesterol that builds up inside artery walls.
- HDL Cholesterol
The 'good' cholesterol — carries cholesterol away from artery walls back to the liver.
- Triglycerides
The stored form of fat circulating in your blood.
- Non-HDL Cholesterol
Total cholesterol minus HDL — captures all the harmful particles.
- Troponin
A protein released when heart muscle cells are damaged.
- CK-MB
A form of creatine kinase concentrated in heart muscle.
- Myoglobin
Oxygen-binding protein from heart and skeletal muscle.
- BNP / NT-proBNP
A hormone released by a stretched, overworked heart.
