Heart-related conditions can be challenging to detect with a single diagnostic tool. Due to this, medical professionals often rely on an extensive collection of clinical examinations to determine the existence of underlying complications or issues.
Apollo Heart Check - Essential is a comprehensive cardiac health assessment package. The panel includes 69 individual assessments that fall under the following categories:
- Heart (Cardiac) Examination: A heart test panel includes two core assessments, that being the lipoprotein A (LP-A) and a High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (HS-CRP) test. As such, an LP-A helps detect hardening in the arteries or inflammation in the vascular walls. Meanwhile, an HS-CRP test helps predict the possibility of Peripheral vascular diseases, acute heart failure and myocardial infarctions (heart attacks)
- Kidney Profile: Comprising a complete urinalysis and renal function test, a kidney profile is an essential component of a heart test package. For instance, a urinalysis can help detect diabetes, internal organ infections, risk of heart failure and metabolic disorders. On the other hand, a renal function test is typically conducted to establish any comorbid complications related to cardiovascular conditions.
- Blood Studies/Complete Blood Count (CBC): A CBC helps doctors outline treatment plans for specific patient cases. Since a CBC directly detects abnormalities in the bloodstream and the associated cells, this can direct healthcare professionals in tailoring the medications to the patient’s clinical context.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test: The thyroid component in the test package will be based on a TSH assessment. Due to how excessive or inhibited hormone production can affect existing cardiovascular disorders, a TSH assessment can help doctors outline treatment methods to negate the impact of the same.
- Glucose/Diabetes Check: A heart test panel generally includes a fasting glucose assessment. This is a relatively straightforward blood examination that can screen for pre-diabetic indicators, gestational, type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
- Liver Function Test: Apollo Heart Check – Essential package typically includes a liver function test. This is critical since medical research has established a high mortality rate among patients with comorbid conditions such as liver cirrhosis or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
Nonetheless, aside from an LP-A and HS-CRP test, all the other mentioned examinations are conditional. In short, the results from each category will determine whether a patient has to undergo other assessments.
However, medical experts will usually recommend opting for the complete panel if they observe concerning symptoms, like elevated blood pressure or acute chest pain. Some other clinical signs that require prompt medical examination are as follows:
- Frequently feeling dizzy
- Chest palpitations
- Lightheadedness
- Difficulty breathing
- Irregular heartbeat (rapid or slowed)
