Advanced heart health labs, including ApoB and Lp(a), drawn at home anywhere in Brooklyn and explained by a New York-licensed provider.
This panel goes beyond a basic cholesterol test. It may include apolipoprotein B (ApoB), lipoprotein(a), and hs-CRP, a marker of inflammation linked to heart risk.
Adults with a family history of early heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes or other risk factors, or anyone who wants a closer look at heart health.
Your provider draws your blood at home. At your follow-up, you go through your results, your overall heart risk and ways to lower it.
Your labs are drawn and reviewed by a licensed medical provider.
We walk you through your results in a visit, not just a PDF.
No lab waiting room. Your provider comes to you in Brooklyn.
Your provider reviews your health history, symptoms and goals, then explains what the heart health panel checks and whether it fits you.
Your provider tells you whether to fast and which supplements or medicines to pause before the draw.
Your provider draws blood at your home, labels it and sends it to the lab. Most draws take only a few minutes.
When results are back, your provider walks you through each number, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
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).
Your provider combines results with your blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and family history to estimate your overall heart risk.
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.
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.
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.
Your provider checks your blood pressure at home, where you are seated and rested rather than rushed, which helps give a fair reading.
Lp(a) is a type of cholesterol particle mostly set by your genes. High levels raise heart risk. Many experts suggest checking it at least once in your life.
ApoB counts the particles that can build up in your arteries. It can show risk that a standard cholesterol test misses.
Some tests are more accurate after fasting. Your provider will tell you if you need to fast and for how long when you book.
