Know Your Cardiovascular Markers
To effectively assess cardiovascular risk, individuals should consider requesting a comprehensive range of blood work from their doctors. Key markers to evaluate include high sensitivity CRP, homocysteine, oxidized LDL, myeloperoxidase, lipoprotein phospholipase A2, parathyroid hormone D3, insulin levels, glucose, hemoglobin A1C, and possibly C-peptide for those with diabetes. Additionally, a full lipid panel helps in understanding lipid profiles, while metabolic function monitoring remains critical in evaluating overall cardiovascular health.
