Cardiovascular & Cholesterol Checks in Full Body Assessments

One of the main causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, which is caused by the build-up of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounted for 26.6% of all deaths in India in 2017, and the number of individuals with CVD increased from 25.7 million in 1990 to 54.5 million in 2016. Experts believe that as the human lifestyle changes, these numbers will continue to rise. It is commonly known that heart disease and cholesterol are related. Considering heart disease is on the rise in the world, it is important to understand the importance of cholesterol checks as part of a complete body checkup. We explore the importance of cholesterol screenings in comprehensive health evaluations in this article about cardiovascular health.

Understanding cholesterol checks and cardiovascular health

Cholesterol is a fat-like molecule that can be found in food and is also made by the body. Although cholesterol is necessary for optimum health, having too much of it can clog your arteries and increase your risk of heart disease.The lipoproteins in our blood carry cholesterol through the body. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) are the two primary forms of lipoproteins.

The "good" cholesterol in our body is called HDL cholesterol, as HDL carries the cholesterol from your arteries and transports it to the liver for excretion.

'Bad' cholesterol is referred to as LDL cholesterol as LDL deposits the excess cholesterol in the blood on the inner walls of arteries, giving rise to heart disease.

Regular cholesterol screening can identify the amount of cholesterol in the blood, thus helping in the prevention and early detection of CVD and slowing their progression.

Empower your health & well being with comprehensive testing

CVD claims millions of lives each year; however, preventive measures such as regular healthcare visits and lifestyle changes can significantly reduce your risk and ensure your heart health thrives. A crucial step in this journey is undergoing a comprehensive cardiovascular health assessment.A full-body checkup goes beyond simply checking your heart rate and blood pressure. It's a multi-pronged approach that delves into the various aspects of your health, painting a complete picture of your cardiovascular risk profile.

Key indicators checked in full body health assessments

Your healthcare professional can assess your risk of heart disease with a multitude of tests included in this package. Your personal and family medical history as well as the findings of your tests will be considered when determining your CVD risk. This includes:

High-density lipoprotein
Low-density lipoprotein
Total cholesterol (high levels indicate increased cardiovascular risk)
Triglycerides (high levels indicate increased cardiovascular risk)

Lipoprotein (a) is an additional lipoprotein that is present in some people and increases heart risk
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is a protein that is included in bad cholesterol

Benefits of early detection of heart disease

Early detection of the condition leads to more effective treatment of CVD and better overall health. An annual checkup can help you identify cardiovascular problems much before you experience any symptoms. Incorporating preventive measures and lifestyle changes can also help you manage the risk factors of CVD at every stage of life and reduce your risk of CVD.

You can lower your risk of heart disease by:

Lowering and controlling stress.
Avoiding all tobacco products.
Reaching a healthy weight and maintaining it.
Eating a diet low in salt and saturated fat.
Exercising for a minimum of 30 to 60 minutes most days.
Handling additional medical issues including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes.

Introduction to heart health in complete body assessment package

Orange Health Labs offers an at-home heart health check-up along with a full body checkup, commonly known as the cardiac risk indicators exam, which comprises an evaluation of the most critical aspects of heart health. A cardiac risk indicators test involves assessing the variables that represent a person's cardiovascular risk. The likelihood of having a heart attack or dying from CVD is indicated by the risk. Because your heart health is our priority at Orange Health Labs, we provide at-home cardiac health exams. Specialized heart tests, including measurements of vital signs like cholesterol, are part of the cardiac health checkup package that provides a comprehensive assessment of your heart's condition.

CVDs, which affect the heart and blood vessels, can cause heart attacks and strokes if not treated on time. Getting diagnosed early on with regular checkups is important for effective care, especially since heart attacks can occur without obvious warning symptoms. Early detection and treatment are essential for timely treatment, slowing down or stopping the progression of many illnesses.
