Laboratory check

The cardiological laboratory check includes a series of blood tests that examine specific markers that can provide information about the health of the heart. These tests include, for example, the determination of lipid levels, kidney function, electrolytes, and cardiac biomarkers such as troponin, which can help diagnose heart attacks and other cardiovascular conditions.

What are the most important blood tests in a cardiological laboratory check?

The most important tests include the measurement of lipid profiles (cholesterol and triglycerides), cardiac biomarkers such as troponin, kidney function values, blood sugar, and electrolytes, all of which are important indicators of heart health.

Why is the determination of the lipid profile important?

The determination of the lipid profile helps to assess the risk of heart disease by providing information about the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which is essential for the prevention of arteriosclerosis and associated cardiovascular diseases.

What does the biomarker troponin show in the blood test?

Troponin is a protein that is present in the heart muscle cells and is released into the blood in increased amounts during a heart attack. A high troponin level can be a strong indication of heart damage, typically caused by a heart attack.

How often should cardiological laboratory tests be performed?

The frequency of cardiological laboratory tests depends on your individual risk profile and existing health conditions. Your doctor will make recommendations based on factors such as age, history of heart disease, and current symptoms.

Can I continue normal activities after a laboratory check?

Yes, after a blood draw for cardiological tests, you can usually continue your normal activities without further restrictions. However, there may be a small spot where the needle was inserted that may be slightly sore.
