Everything about the Cardiovascular Check
What advantages does this test offer me?
What advantages does this test offer me?
Your heart works around the clock – and yet many risk factors for cardiovascular diseases remain unnoticed for a long time. Cholesterol levels, inflammation markers, and electrolytes can provide valuable insights into your heart health and help identify risks early. With the Cardiovascular Check , you receive a comprehensive analysis of the most important heart markers.
The test measures the following values:
- LDL Cholesterol: The "bad" cholesterol that can deposit in the vessels and promote arteriosclerosis.
- HDL Cholesterol: The "good" cholesterol that removes excess cholesterol from the blood.
- Triglycerides: An important energy source, whose elevated levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
- Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)): A hereditary risk factor for heart attack and stroke.Elevated values indicate increased vascular stress.
- C-reactive protein (CRP): An inflammation marker that provides information about chronic inflammation and vascular changes.
- Sodium: A vital electrolyte crucial for fluid and blood pressure balance.
- Calcium: A central substance for muscle and nerve function, including the heart muscle.
- NT-proBNP: An important marker for assessing cardiac stress. Elevated values may indicate the onset of heart failure.
Why is this test important?
Cardiovascular diseases are among the most common causes of death worldwide. Risk factors often develop insidiously, without those affected noticing.An early check of the relevant values can help to take preventive measures in time and reduce personal risk.
How does the test work?
The procedure is simple: You take a small blood sample from your fingertip using the provided test kit and send it to our certified specialist laboratory. You will receive your results digitally within a few days – including understandable explanations of your values.
Symptoms for which you should take this test
The Cardiovascular Check is particularly useful if you notice one or more of the following symptoms:
- High blood pressure or sudden blood pressure fluctuations
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing even with slight exertion
- Fatigue, exhaustion, or lack of energy
- Feeling of pressure or pain in the chest
- Dizziness or frequent headaches
- Tingling or numbness in arms and legs
- Family history of heart attack or stroke
- Overweight, diabetes, or high cholesterol levels
Identify cardiovascular risks early now
Stay informed and regularly check your key heart values.The cardiovascular check helps you identify potential risks early and protect your health in the long term.

Why is this test important?
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the most common causes of death worldwide. Many risk factors – such as high cholesterol levels, inflammation, or an undetected heart strain – often go unnoticed for a long time. With the Cardiovascular Check , you can identify these factors early and take targeted action against them.

An early check can help identify health risks and take targeted countermeasures.
What do the measured values mean?
What do the measured values mean?
LDL cholesterol
The biomarker LDL cholesterol is an important indicator of the risk of cardiovascular diseases. A high LDL cholesterol level can lead to arteriosclerosis, which in turn increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. It is therefore important to regularly monitor the LDL cholesterol level and, if necessary, reduce it through a healthy diet, regular exercise, and possibly medication therapy.
Mehr InfosHDL cholesterol
HDL cholesterol, also known as good cholesterol, is an important biomarker for heart health. A high HDL level in the blood is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, as it helps remove excess cholesterol from the arteries. A healthy lifestyle with regular physical activity and a balanced diet can help increase HDL levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Mehr InfosTriglyceride
Triglycerides are a type of fat molecule stored in the body as an energy reserve. A high triglyceride level in the blood can indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, regular monitoring of this biomarker is important to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Mehr InfosLipoprotein(a)
Lipoprotein(a) is a subtype of lipoproteins in the blood, consisting of a combination of lipids and proteins. Elevated Lipoprotein(a) levels in the blood can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, particularly atherosclerosis and heart attack. Lipoprotein(a) can deposit in the walls of the arteries and contribute to the formation of plaques, leading to a narrowing of the arteries and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Measuring Lipoprotein(a) is important for the risk assessment of cardiovascular diseases and can aid in the decision-making regarding preventive measures and treatments.
Mehr InfosC-reactive protein (CRP)
CRP is an inflammation marker in the blood that increases when there are inflammations or infections in the body. An elevated CRP level can indicate acute or chronic inflammations, infections, or even cardiovascular diseases.
Mehr InfosSodium
Sodium is an electrolyte that plays a crucial role in regulating the body's fluid and electrolyte balance. Deviations from normal sodium levels can indicate disorders such as dehydration, kidney problems, or heart disease.
Mehr InfosCalcium
Calcium is an important biomarker in the body, crucial for bone health, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. A calcium level in the blood that is too high or too low can lead to serious health problems. Therefore, it is important to regularly monitor and correct the calcium level if necessary.
Mehr InfosNT-proBNP
NT-proBNP is a highly sensitive marker for heart health, which is elevated during heart stress, such as heart failure or stress. This value helps to detect problems early before symptoms occur and supports targeted treatment.

Häufig gestellte Fragen zum Cardiovascular Check
Häufig gestellte Fragen zum Cardiovascular Check
What is examined in the cardiovascular check?
The test measures important markers for cardiovascular health, including LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, Lp(a), CRP, sodium, calcium , and NT-proBNP.
Who is this test suitable for?
The test is ideal for anyone who wants to assess their cardiovascular risk – especially with a family history, high blood pressure, overweight, or lack of exercise.
How does the sampling work?
The sampling is simple and painless via capillary blood from the fingertip. You will receive a test kit with clear instructions for easy home use.
How long does it take to receive my results?
After sending the sample, you will usually receive your lab results digitally within 3–5 business days.
What do cholesterol levels indicate about my cardiovascular risk?
LDL cholesterol is considered "bad cholesterol" because it can narrow the vessels. HDL cholesterol , on the other hand, helps to transport excess cholesterol away. A balanced lipid profile is crucial for heart health.
What is Lp(a) and why is it important?
Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a hereditary risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Elevated levels may indicate an increased risk of arteriosclerosis or heart attack.
Why is CRP measured?
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammation marker that can be elevated in chronic inflammation or vascular changes. Elevated levels may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.
What happens if my values are outside the reference range?
If abnormalities are detected, you should discuss the results with a doctor. They can recommend further examinations or targeted measures.
