Cardiovascular Inflammation Test (CIT)

Since most adults have some degree of cardiometabolic risk, the CIT has been designed to evaluate and monitor the extent of this risk for patients.

Cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obesity are widespread and very common among patients. 

These lifestyle diseases are largely preventable, treatable, and reversible. 

The right combination of blood tests can unmask and monitor risk for serious health problems including premature death and dramatically reduce quality of life.

Advanced Lipids

Total Cholesterol (TC)
Measures the amount of cholesterol in all cholesterol-containing lipoproteins.

Triglycerides (TG)
Elevated levels increase cardiovascular disease risk by altering lipoprotein metabolism.

Direct Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C)
Amount of cholesterol in the atherogenic low-density lipoproteins

High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C)
Amount of cholesterol in high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Higher levels of HDL are associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk, but not all HDL is good.

Lipid Ratio
TC/HDL-C is a stronger risk factor than either LDL-C or HDL-C. Low HDL-C/TG is associated with insulin resistance.

Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a))
Elevated levels, present in 20% of the population, are an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Genetic Trait

Apolipoprotein B (apoB)
A major protein in atherogenic particles. Stronger predictor of cardiovascular disease than LDL-C

Metabolics

Homocysteine
High levels are associated with vitamin B deficiency in increased risk for cardiovascular disease and dementia

Glucose
Fasting glucose is a strong predictor of diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk.

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
Assesses the average blood glucose over the last two to three months.

Inflammation

High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP)
Acute phase inflammatory protein. Associated with atherosclerosis after excluding other causes.
