The Cardiovascular Risk package (Pakiet Sercowo-Naczyniowy) is a focused Longevity+ laboratory panel built around markers associated with heart and vascular health — an advanced lipid profile, inflammatory indicators and metabolic measures linked to cardiovascular risk. Rather than a broad general screen, it concentrates testing on the parameters most relevant to the cardiovascular system, making it a targeted option for people with a family history or specific concern who want a clear, organised read on this area.
The Cardiovascular Risk laboratory package gathers, in a single order, the blood markers most associated with cardiovascular and metabolic health. Where a general panel spreads attention across every system, this package concentrates on the lipid and inflammatory chemistry that clinicians often look at together when considering heart and vessel risk — typically an extended lipid profile going beyond standard cholesterol, markers of systemic inflammation, and metabolic indicators such as glucose-handling measures. Everything is collected from one venous draw at the Wrocław partner site and returned as a grouped report. The package is well suited to people with a family history of cardiovascular disease, those managing weight or metabolic concerns, and anyone who wants a focused baseline for this part of their health rather than a sprawling general screen. By presenting the relevant markers side by side, it makes patterns easier to see and supports a more specific discussion with a cardiologist or internist — Longevity+ also offers cardiology consultations and cardiac imaging if the results warrant a closer look. As with all laboratory work, the panel is a measurement and risk-context tool: it may support decisions about lifestyle, diet and further investigation, but it does not by itself diagnose heart disease. Fasting is usually recommended for accurate lipid and glucose values, and any preparation is confirmed when the appointment is arranged.

Biomarkers Tested
14The main protein component of HDL cholesterol particles. Higher ApoA1 levels reflect more HDL particles and are associated with lower cardiovascular risk. The ApoB/ApoA1 ratio is a powerful predictor of heart disease.
The primary protein on LDL and VLDL particles. Each atherogenic lipoprotein particle carries exactly one ApoB molecule, making it a direct measure of the number of particles that can enter artery walls. Considered a superior predictor of cardiovascular risk compared to LDL cholesterol.
A protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. CRP rises rapidly during infection, injury, or inflammatory conditions. It's a general marker — elevated CRP signals inflammation but doesn't pinpoint the source.
A protein essential for blood clotting that also serves as an inflammation marker. Elevated fibrinogen increases blood viscosity and clot risk, contributing to cardiovascular disease independent of cholesterol levels.
Often called 'good' cholesterol, HDL carries cholesterol away from arteries back to the liver for removal. Higher HDL levels are protective against heart disease. Exercise, healthy fats, and moderate alcohol intake can raise HDL.
An amino acid produced during protein metabolism. Elevated homocysteine is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cognitive decline. Levels are lowered by adequate B12, folate, and B6 intake.
A highly sensitive test for low-grade chronic inflammation linked to cardiovascular disease risk. Lower hs-CRP values are associated with better cardiovascular outcomes.
Often called 'bad' cholesterol, LDL deposits cholesterol in artery walls, contributing to plaque buildup and atherosclerosis. LDL is the primary target for cardiovascular risk reduction through diet, exercise, and medication.
Lp(a) is a cholesterol-carrying particle linked to genetic risk for heart disease. High levels increase cardiovascular risk.
Marker of heart stress and function
The combined measure of all cholesterol in your blood, including HDL, LDL, and VLDL. While useful as an overview, the breakdown between HDL and LDL is more clinically meaningful for assessing cardiovascular risk.
The most common type of fat in the body, stored for energy. Elevated triglycerides — often from excess sugar, alcohol, or calories — increase cardiovascular risk and can cause pancreatitis at very high levels.
Troponin is a protein involved in heart muscle contraction. Elevated levels are a marker of heart damage, often used to diagnose heart attacks.
