A cardiac risk assessment consists of a set of tests and health factors that determine the probability of experiencing a cardiovascular event, like a stroke or heart attack. The assessment is intended to reveal the degree of risk: low, intermediate, or high. Your medical history is the most critical factor in determining your risk of heart-related conditions. Age, hereditary factors, body weight, smoking status, blood pressure, exercise history, and diabetes are all important in determining your risk. |
The eLAB Laboratory will determine the results of the tests carried out to assess the risk of heart disease based on various factors, including family history, medical history, and lifestyle.

Cholesterol Cholesterol is one of the causes of atherosclerosis, but having high cholesterol doesn't always mean you have atherosclerosis. In the presence of other risk factors like genetics, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, etc., high cholesterol levels can make atherosclerosis more likely. Studies over many years demonstrate that lowering cholesterol levels has a significant benefit in controlling atherosclerosis. The primary impacts of atherosclerosis include damage to the heart and brain's blood vessels and its subsequent outcomes. |
A test for cholesterol measures the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. This assessment assists in determining your probability of atherosclerosis, the build-up of plaque in arteries, which may cause constriction or blockage of the arteries in your body.
