Order

The Basic Cardiovascular Check-up is an assessment of the main factors associated with cardiovascular risk and includes laboratory tests, a resting ECG, and a medical consultation.

The package allows assessment of lipid and glucose metabolism, additional markers associated with cardiovascular risk, and kidney function. The electrocardiogram complements the assessment by evaluating the electrical activity of the heart.

The results are interpreted together with clinical data and individual risk factors, such as age, blood pressure, smoking, and personal and family medical history.

Components

Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides

Assess the lipid profile and help identify dyslipidemia and the main lipid-related factors associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk.

Lipoprotein(a) – Lp(a)

A cardiovascular risk factor that is largely genetically determined. Elevated levels are associated with a higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Lp(a) measurement is useful for complementing cardiovascular risk assessment and is generally recommended at least once during adulthood.

Glucose

Assesses blood glucose at the time of sample collection and contributes to the identification of disorders of glucose metabolism.

Glycated hemoglobin – HbA1c

Reflects the average blood glucose level over approximately the previous 2–3 months and contributes to the identification and monitoring of glucose metabolism disorders.

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein – hs-CRP

A sensitive marker of low-grade systemic inflammation. Persistently elevated levels, in the absence of acute infection or inflammation, may represent an additional factor in cardiovascular risk assessment.

eGFR (CKD-EPI) + Serum creatinine

Assess kidney function. Impaired kidney function is closely associated with cardiovascular risk and may influence prevention, monitoring, and treatment strategies.

12-lead resting ECG

Assesses the heart rhythm and electrical conduction and may reveal arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, signs of ventricular hypertrophy, or other electrocardiographic changes.

Medical consultation included in the package – General Practitioner

The physician integrates the laboratory and ECG results with the patient's medical history and individual risk factors and determines whether preventive measures, monitoring, or additional investigations are required.

Role of the assessment

The package provides an initial cardiovascular assessment by combining the main metabolic and biological risk factors with an evaluation of the heart's electrical activity.

The investigations may contribute to:

identifying dyslipidemia;
identifying disorders of glucose metabolism;
assessing Lp(a) as an additional cardiovascular risk factor;
assessing an inflammatory marker associated with cardiovascular risk;
evaluating kidney function;
identifying electrocardiographic abnormalities;
complementing the overall assessment of cardiovascular risk;
determining the need for preventive measures, monitoring, or additional investigations.

Indications

preventive cardiovascular assessment;
presence of multiple cardiovascular risk factors: arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes/prediabetes, obesity, smoking, or a sedentary lifestyle;
family history of myocardial infarction, stroke, or premature cardiovascular disease;
need for reassessment of cardiovascular risk as recommended by a physician;
monitoring of individuals with known cardiovascular risk factors.

Preparation

For the standardization of laboratory investigations, the following is recommended:

blood collection preferably during the first part of the day;
fasting for 8–12 hours, particularly for standardized assessment of glucose and triglyceride levels;
drinking still water is permitted;
avoiding excessive alcohol consumption and intense physical activity on the day before testing;
whenever possible, hs-CRP testing should be performed outside periods of acute infection or acute inflammation;
informing the physician about any medications being taken;
medications should not be discontinued or modified without the physician's recommendation.

No special preparation is generally required for a resting ECG.

Patients are encouraged to provide, if available, results of previous cardiovascular investigations and information about any medications they are taking.
