Cardiovascular Health Screening
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in developing countries such as Iran. Over 50% of deaths from heart disease can be prevented by lowering the risk factors such as high cholesterol, and obesity.
A set of CVS Health tests alert the person to the general state of the cardiovascular system so that appropriate treatment and preventive measures can be taken in a timely manner. This reduces the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction.
Increased blood cholesterol is a known cause of myocardial infarction and stroke, so ensuring a normal blood cholesterol level is especially important for people over 50 years old. Timely treatment to lower blood cholesterol in people with over-normal cholesterol greatly reduces the risk of fatal strokes. Increased cholesterol is found in hereditary hypercholesterolemia, kidney disease, hypothyroidism, primary biliary cirrhosis and diabetes.
The risk of heart disease is increased if the level of good cholesterol or HDL in the blood is lower than 35 mg / dL. HDL levels in people who exercise regularly, eat a good diet, and avoid cigarettes are usually above 35 mg / dL.
The level of LDL or bad cholesterol in the blood should be less than 100 mg / dL. Increasing the level of bad cholesterol to more than 130 mg / dL should be considered.
Blood triglycerides should normally be less than 150 mg / dL. Doses above 150 mg / dL should be considered as a risk factor and measures should be taken to reduce them such as dietary changes and regular exercise as soon as possible.
Other tests performed on CVS checkup are includes; Blood glucose, blood electrolytes, low CRP.
Patient conditions for testing:
The patient should be fasting for 10 to 12 hours prior to performing the test according to the concurrent application of triglyceride.
