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 Risk Profile , you receive a comprehensive analysis of key markers for your heart and vessels.
The test measures the following values:
- Apolipoprotein A1: A component of the "good" HDL cholesterol, important for the reverse transport of cholesterol from the vessels.
- Apolipoprotein B: A central component of the "bad" LDL cholesterol, which can promote deposits in the vessels.
- Total cholesterol: An important overall value that provides information about the lipid metabolism status. html
- LDL cholesterol: The "bad" cholesterol that can deposit in the vessels and promote arteriosclerosis.
- HDL cholesterol: The "good" cholesterol that transports excess cholesterol from the blood.
- Triglycerides: An energy source, elevated levels of which increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
- Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)): A hereditary risk factor for heart attack and stroke. Elevated levels additionally burden the vessels.
- C-reactive protein (CRP): An inflammation marker that provides indications of chronic inflammation and vascular changes.
- Sodium: A vital electrolyte that regulates fluid and blood pressure balance.
- Calcium: Involved in muscle and nerve function, including the heart muscle.
Why is this test important?
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Germany. Risk factors often develop gradually without those affected noticing anything. An early review of the relevant values allows for timely preventive measures to be taken and personal risk to be reduced.
How does the test work?
The procedure is simple: With the supplied test kit, you take a small blood sample from your fingertip and send it to our certified specialist laboratory. You will receive your results digitally within a few days – including easy-to-understand explanations.
Symptoms for which you should take the test
The cardiovascular risk profile 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
- 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 elevated blood lipid levels
Identify cardiovascular risks early now
Stay informed and regularly check your key heart markers.The cardiovascular risk profile helps you identify potential risks in a timely manner and protect your heart health in the long term.
Was bedeuten die gemessenen Werte?
Was bedeuten die gemessenen Werte?
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance that the body needs for many important functions. It is a building block of cell membranes, a precursor for hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, and for the formation of bile acids. A portion is absorbed through food, but the majority is produced in the liver.
Excessive cholesterol levels can lead to deposits in the vessel walls and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, a balanced level is important, as cholesterol is also essential for health.
LDL cholesterol
LDL cholesterol is referred to as "bad cholesterol" because it transports cholesterol from the liver to the body's cells. Excess LDL can deposit in the vessel walls and form so-called plaques. These deposits narrow the vessels and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
High LDL levels are an important risk factor for arteriosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke. Low levels, on the other hand, are considered beneficial for vascular health.
HDL cholesterol
HDL cholesterol is often referred to as "good cholesterol" because it transports excess cholesterol from the vessels to the liver. There, it is broken down or recycled, reducing deposits in the arteries. Thus, HDL helps keep the vessels healthy and free from calcifications.
High HDL levels are considered beneficial as they are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. Low levels, on the other hand, increase the risk of arteriosclerosis and heart attack.
Triglyceride
Triglycerides are the main form of fats in the body and are primarily stored in fat cells. They are formed when excess energy from food is converted into fat. Some triglycerides circulate in the blood and serve as an energy source.
Elevated triglyceride levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, especially when LDL is high and HDL is low at the same time. Very high levels can also trigger inflammation of the pancreas.
Lipoprotein(a)
Lipoprotein (a), abbreviated Lp(a), is a special form of LDL cholesterol. It consists of an LDL particle that additionally carries a protein called apolipoprotein(a). The level of Lp(a) is largely determined genetically and can hardly be influenced by diet or exercise.
Elevated Lp(a) levels promote the formation of deposits in the vessels, inflammation, and blood clots. Therefore, Lp(a) is considered an independent risk factor for heart attack and stroke – even if other cholesterol levels are normal.
C-reactive protein (CRP)
CRP (C-reactive protein) is a protein that the liver produces in response to inflammation. The level in the blood rises quickly when infections, tissue damage, or other inflammatory processes occur in the body. Therefore, CRP is often used as a general marker of inflammation.
A significantly elevated CRP level usually indicates an acute infection, while slightly elevated levels can also occur in chronic diseases. Normal values generally rule out a relevant inflammation.
Sodium
Sodium is an important mineral and electrolyte that regulates the body's water and salt balance. It also plays a central role in nerve signal transmission and muscle function. The body usually maintains sodium levels within a narrow range to keep essential functions stable.
High levels (hypernatremia) often occur with fluid deficiency and can trigger thirst, confusion, or seizures. Low levels (hyponatremia) can result from significant fluid loss, kidney problems, or certain medications, leading to weakness, headaches, and in extreme cases, consciousness disorders.
Calcium
Calcium is an essential mineral primarily stored in bones and teeth. It ensures the stability of the skeleton and plays an important role in muscle function, blood clotting, and nerve signal transmission. A blood test measures the portion circulating in the blood.
Too low calcium levels can cause muscle cramps, tingling, or heart rhythm disturbances. Too high levels often indicate parathyroid disorders, certain tumors, or excessive intake of vitamin D.
Apolipoprotein A1
Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A-I) is the main protein of "good" HDL cholesterol. It supports the transport of excess cholesterol from the vessels to the liver, where it is broken down and excreted. Thus, Apo A-I plays a central role in protecting the vessels from calcification.
High Apo A-I levels are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. Low levels, on the other hand, may indicate an increased risk of arteriosclerosis, especially if "bad" LDL cholesterol is also elevated.
Apolipoprotein B
Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is the most important transport protein of the "bad" cholesterol particles such as LDL and VLDL. Since each LDL particle carries exactly one Apo B, the Apo B value directly indicates how many atherogenic particles are circulating in the blood. This makes it a very meaningful marker for the risk of vascular calcification.
A high Apo B value means an increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Low values, on the other hand, are considered favorable and indicate that fewer harmful particles are present in the blood.

What is examined in the cardiovascular risk profile?
The test measures key markers for cardiovascular health, including Apolipoprotein A1, Apolipoprotein B, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], CRP (C-reactive protein), sodium and calcium.
Who is this test suitable for?
The cardiovascular risk profile is ideal for anyone who wants to assess their individual risk – especially with a family history, high blood pressure, overweight, diabetes, or lack of exercise.
How does the sampling work?
The sampling is done easily via capillary blood from the fingertip. You will receive a test kit with clear instructions, allowing you to conveniently perform the procedure from home.
How long does it take to receive my results?
After sending the sample to our specialized laboratory, your results are usually available digitally within 3–5 business days.
What do cholesterol levels indicate about my cardiovascular risk?
LDL cholesterol is considered "bad cholesterol" because it can promote deposits in 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 genetically determined risk factor. Elevated levels can significantly increase the risk of arteriosclerosis, heart attack, or stroke, even if other cholesterol levels are within the normal range.
Why is CRP measured?
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation. Elevated levels indicate silent inflammations in the body, which can increase the 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. This allows for further examinations and the initiation of individual measures for risk reduction.
