{"product_id":"cardiovascular-profile-comprehensive-4001","title":"Cardiovascular Profile Comprehensive","description":"\u003cp\u003eCardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In the past decade CVD has been the cause of over one-third of all premature deaths in Australia. The conventional risk factors for CVD include hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking and diabetes mellitus. However, in an individual the presence of only one of these factors has a low positive predictive value. The most advanced strategy for coronary risk assessment is therefore to combine the information of several risk factors; a ‘multi-marker’ approach which enhances risk stratification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing one of the leading causes of death worldwide, more years of potential life before the age of 75 are lost due to this disease than any other human condition. Fortunately, over the past thirty years significant progress has been made in the areas of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of CVD. One of the most critical advances has been the identification of the major risk factors for CVD which arose from studies such as the Framingham Heart Study and the Seven Countries Study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conventional risk factors for CVD include hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertriglyceridaemia and low HDL cholesterol. However, in an individual the presence of only one of these factors has a low positive predictive value. Furthermore, a significant number of cardiovascular events still occur in individuals without these established risk indicators. At present, the most advanced strategy for coronary risk assessment is therefore to combine the information of several risk factors. This multi-marker approach can enhance risk stratification, identifying those individuals with a moderate baseline risk who might benefit from aggressive risk reduction strategies. Not only are conventional risk factors assessed, but other CVD biomarkers such as lipoprotein (a), apolipoproteins A \u0026amp; B, homocysteine, fibrinogen and C-reactive protein (CRP) are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTest details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardiovascular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardiovascular Kit (Fasting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection method:\u003c\/strong\u003e CI05.23.01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automated chemistry (Roche Diagnostics), Electropheresis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurnaround time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-10 Business Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is measured\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"analytes\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eApolipoproteins A \u0026amp; B\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eC-reactive protein (CRP)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCholesterol\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFasting Glucose\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFibrinogen\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHDL\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHomocysteine\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eLDL\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eLipoprotein (a)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRatios\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTriglycerides\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon clinical applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cardiovascular-Health.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCardiovascular Health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCardiovascular Disease\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHypercholesterolaemia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Metabolic-Endocrine-and-Hormonal-Health.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEndocrine and Hormonal Health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiabetes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Other-Health-Conditions.png\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOther Health Conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"common-conditions\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInsulin resistance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStatin therapy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eResources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/4001-CARDIOVASCULAR-PROFILE-%E2%80%93-COMPREHENSIVE.pdf\"\u003ePatient Brochure\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nutripath.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/4001-Cardiovascular-Profile-Comprehensive-2.pdf\"\u003eSample Report\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis test should be ordered and interpreted with guidance from a qualified healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Test information is general only.
