Your cellular metabolism and your cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels) are very intricately linked.  For various reasons – not just age – our metabolism changes. Our personal chemistry controls these changes and they are measured in SpectraCell’s CardioMetabolic panel, which covers the three main areas of keeping a healthy metabolic profile your whole life: Glycemic Control, Lipid Profile, and Vascular Inflammation.

Standard cholesterol testing only gives you part of the picture leaving many people with “normal” cholesterol numbers unaware that they are still at risk for a heart attack.  The National Cholesterol Education Program introduced new risk factors that are responsible for many individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease.

Who should take the CardioMetabolic Test or Pre-Diabetes Risk Panel?

All patients and especially those who:

• Have a family history of heart disease or diabetes
• Have been diagnosed with heart disease or diabetes
• Are already taking cholesterol-lowering medications
• Have been diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome (high blood pressure)
• Are overweight
• Have high LDL – the bad cholesterol
• Have low HDL – the good cholesterol
• Have high triglycerides
