Cerba cardiology tests
According to the WHO, heart disease was the leading cause of death in the world in 2020. This has been the leading cause of death for more than 20 years and 90% of heart attacks are caused by known risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes or obesity. This means that, in most cases, cardiovascular diseases have a detectable origin, therefore, it is possible to try to modify the probability of suffering them.
With the right tests and the right lifestyle habits, we can greatly reduce the chances of heart disease.
Ο Cholesterol test
Control your cholesterol levels
Through a blood test we perform a study of HDL cholesterol, commonly known as good cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol, commonly known as bad cholesterol, and determine the patient’s potential risk of suffering any complication related to cardiovascular risk.
Ο Triglyceride test
Amount of fat in the blood
Through a blood test we analyse the triglyceride levels to determine if the triglyceride concentration is too high.
High triglyceride levels can increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Ο Coagulation test (APTT)
Partial thromboplastin time test
The partial thromboplastin time test (PTTT) measures the time it takes for a clot to form in a blood sample.
Clotting ability is important to prevent excessive bleeding. For blood to clot well, proteins called “clotting factors” are needed.
