Advanced Heart Health Test Panel (with ApoB)
Your heart health is about more than just cholesterol. The ICare Advanced Heart Health Test Panel (with ApoB) provides a more comprehensive evaluation of your cardiovascular risk by combining a traditional lipid profile with Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)—an advanced marker that offers deeper insight into the particles that contribute to plaque buildup in your arteries.
While standard cholesterol tests remain an important part of preventive care, they don't always tell the full story. ApoB testing can identify cardiovascular risk that may not be apparent from cholesterol levels alone, helping you and your healthcare provider make more informed decisions about your heart health.
Whether you have a family history of heart disease, elevated cholesterol, or simply want a more complete picture of your cardiovascular wellness, this advanced panel empowers you to take a proactive approach to protecting your heart.

What Does This Test Measure?
The Advanced Heart Health Test Panel combines traditional cholesterol testing with advanced cardiovascular markers.
Total Cholesterol
Measures the total amount of cholesterol circulating in your bloodstream.
While cholesterol is necessary for healthy cell function, elevated levels can contribute to plaque buildup inside the arteries over time.
HDL Cholesterol (High-Density Lipoprotein)
Often called "good cholesterol," HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transport it to the liver for removal.
Higher HDL levels are generally associated with better cardiovascular health.
LDL Cholesterol (Low-Density Lipoprotein)
Known as "bad cholesterol," LDL can deposit cholesterol within artery walls, leading to plaque formation and narrowing of the arteries.
Managing LDL cholesterol is an important part of reducing cardiovascular risk.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a type of fat used by the body for energy.
Elevated triglyceride levels may increase the risk of heart disease, especially when combined with high LDL cholesterol or low HDL cholesterol.
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)
ApoB is an advanced cardiovascular marker that measures the number of potentially harmful cholesterol-carrying particles in your bloodstream.
Because each LDL and other atherogenic lipoprotein particle contains one ApoB protein, this test provides a more direct measurement of the particles that can contribute to plaque buildup inside your arteries.
Research has shown that ApoB may provide a more accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk than LDL cholesterol alone, particularly in individuals with diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, or elevated triglycerides.

Who Should Consider This Test?
The Advanced Heart Health Test Panel (with ApoB) may be beneficial for:
Adults seeking a more comprehensive heart health evaluation
Individuals with elevated cholesterol
People with high blood pressure
Individuals with diabetes or prediabetes
Those with a family history of heart disease or stroke
