Panel Menu Details

The Evexia Comprehensive Cardiovascular Panel is ideally suited for individuals with known inflammatory conditions, including metabolic syndrome, which places them at higher risk of multiple chronic conditions, including diabetes, coronary heart disease, and cancer, as well as stroke.  This panel reports on health markers that indicate kidney and liver function, blood glucose regulation (via assessment of insulin, blood glucose, and hemoglobin A1c), and inflammation.  This panel also incorporates a complete urinalysis, as well as vitamin D.  Vitamin D has received widespread attention for its potential role in preventing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. 

The Comprehensive Cardiovascular Panel goes beyond the Evexia Complete Cardiovascular option by adding biomarkers like lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 Activity (PLAC®) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL), that are specific to assessing on-going plaquing in the blood vessel walls.  This panel also contains omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, which are significant indicators of anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory balance, as well as the nutrient Coenzyme Q10.  Recent studies show that Co-Q10 supplements can significantly increase HDL-C and ApoA1 levels, even in people taking statins, and may help reduce the risk for CVD.  Co-Q10 supplementation also decreases levels of inflammatory biomarkers shown to be risk factors for CVD, such as high-sensitivity C-reactive Protein.  Troponin I is also included in this panel and is the most commonly ordered and most specific of the cardiac markers.  This biomarker is elevated (positive) within a few hours of heart damage and remains elevated for up to two weeks. Rising levels in a series of troponin tests performed over several hours can help diagnose a heart attack.

This panel comes with a free* Functional Health Report when Evexia Nutraceuticals are recommended.  *A $5 fee is applied when recommendations other than Evexia Nutraceuticals are selected.
