இரத்தப் பரிசோதனை மூலம் இதயநோயை கண்டறிய முடியுமா?

Blood tests
cannot fully detect heart diseases but they can give an idea of the risk for heart disease in the future. There are several blood tests for detecting the risk of heart disease with some of them easy to perform.

Lipid profile test

In this test, four different values are checked that include total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL cholesterol), and lipoprotein A levels.

The risk of heart disease in a patient is high if

  •     Total cholesterol is more than 200 mg/dL
  •      LDL cholesterol is more than 130 mg/dL
  •      HDL cholesterol is less than 40 mg/dL
  •      High levels of lipoprotein A are noted

Plasma ceramide levels

Plasma ceramide is a type of protein and it is produced at high levels when a cell is about to die. If plasma ceramide levels are high in a patient’s body then the risk of heart disease is also high.

High-sensitivity C-Reactive protein

This is a protein produced by the liver when there is inflammation, infection, or accumulation of fat in blood vessels in the body. People with high sensitivity to C-Reactive protein levels have a high risk of heart disease. This test should be taken 2 times in the time interval of 2 weeks to get accurate results.

Lipoprotein A levels

Lipoprotein A is a type of low-density cholesterol but it comes as a result of genetics. People with high levels of this lipoprotein A levels will also have a high risk of heart disease.
