Cardiometabolic Health Markers
Blood markers that assess cardiovascular and metabolic health, including cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, and inflammation indicators.
About Cardiometabolic Health Markers
Cardiometabolic health markers are essential biomarkers that evaluate your heart and metabolic function. These tests measure cholesterol levels (HDL, LDL, total cholesterol), triglycerides, blood glucose control (HbA1c), and inflammatory markers like hsCRP. Together, they provide a comprehensive picture of your cardiovascular disease risk and metabolic health.
Regular monitoring of these markers helps identify risk factors for heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome early, allowing for timely intervention through lifestyle changes or medical treatment. Optimal cardiometabolic health is foundational to longevity and overall wellbeing.

Related Health Conditions
- High Cholesterol
Elevated levels of cholesterol or other fats in the blood that increase cardiovascular disease risk.
- Pre-diabetes
A condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes.
- Insulin Resistance
A condition where cells in muscles, fat, and liver do not respond well to insulin, impairing glucose uptake.
