Indicates vascular inflammation and is used as a predictor of coronary heart disease. Lp-PLA2 is an enzyme associated with LDL cholesterol.

Indicates damage to cardiac cells; historically used in diagnosing myocardial infarction. CK-MB levels rise following heart muscle damage.

Indicates myocardial infarction, used to diagnose heart attacks. Troponin is a protein that is released when the heart muscle is damaged.

The inactive fragment of BNP, used similarly to diagnose and manage heart failure. NT-proBNP levels correlate with the severity and prognosis of heart failure.

A more sensitive form of troponin assay, detects even lower levels of myocardial damage and can be used for earlier diagnosis of myocardial infarction.

A lipoprotein variant that at high levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Lp(a) is genetically determined and resistant to lifestyle changes.

Indicates heart failure; used in the diagnosis and prognosis of heart failure. BNP is secreted by ventricles in response to excessive stretching of heart muscle cells.

Indicates inflammation and can be used to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease. CRP levels rise in response to inflammation.

An amino acid that at high levels may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, particularly coronary artery disease.

Indicates the level of LDL, or 'bad' cholesterol, and is used to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular disease. ApoB is a component of LDL particles.

Indicates the level of HDL, or 'good' cholesterol, and is used to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular disease. ApoA1 is a component of HDL particles.
