3. Blood draw at home

the heart health panel safety and monitoring.

What is measured

A standard lipid panel plus ApoB (the number of particles that can clog arteries), Lp(a) (a mostly inherited cholesterol particle) and hs-CRP (a marker of inflammation).

Putting it in context

Your provider combines results with your blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and family history to estimate your overall heart risk.

What happens next

Options range from diet and exercise changes to cholesterol-lowering medicine. Anyone with chest pain or shortness of breath should seek urgent care, not wait for lab results.

the heart health panel in Brooklyn.

New York lab rules

Labs that test samples from New York patients must hold a New York State permit for that test. Your provider uses a permitted lab, which is why the exact lab used in Brooklyn may differ from other states.

Family history matters

Lp(a) is mostly set by your genes. If a parent or sibling had a heart attack or stroke at a young age, testing can be especially useful.

Calm blood pressure readings

Your provider checks your blood pressure at home, where you are seated and rested rather than rushed, which helps give a fair reading.
