About this test
What is a heart health screen?
Our heart health screen will evaluate your risk of cardiovascular diseases like heart attack, heart disease, or stroke. The screen incorporates tests for high density lipoproteins (HDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), triglycerides and total cholesterol. Lipids and lipoproteins are a group of fats or fat-protein substances that are important cell components and sources of energy.

Long-term cardiovascular health
High blood pressure
Obesity
Diabetes
A previous heart attack
A family history of heart disease or diagnosed heart conditions.
