Advanced Heart Disease Risk Assessment
Vesta Care's Extensive Cardiac Function package delivers sophisticated cardiovascular risk evaluation measuring 34 total biomarkers—including five specialized cardiac markers that predict heart disease years before symptoms appear. This comprehensive assessment combines advanced lipid particle analysis with complete metabolic evaluation, providing the depth of cardiovascular insight typically available only through cardiology specialty centers.
At AED 539, this package tests the biomarkers cardiologists consider most predictive of future heart attacks and strokes: Apolipoprotein B, Lipoprotein(a), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and critical lipid ratios that standard cholesterol panels miss entirely. Our DHA-licensed phlebotomists collect your fasting blood and urine samples at home—throughout Dubai from Palm Jumeirah to Dubai Sports City—with results delivered in 48 hours.
Why Advanced Cardiac Markers Matter
Standard lipid panels measure cholesterol content but miss the critical information: the actual number of atherogenic particles attacking your arterial walls. Research demonstrates that apolipoprotein B more accurately predicts cardiovascular risk than LDL cholesterol, as it represents the total count of atherogenic particles rather than merely their cholesterol content.
Many individuals with "normal" cholesterol harbor dangerously elevated particle counts—invisible to basic testing but clearly revealed by apolipoprotein B measurement. In 20% of patients, LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels are discordant, meaning cholesterol appears satisfactory while true atherogenic particle burden remains dangerously high. This discordance especially affects those with diabetes, obesity, or elevated triglycerides.
The 5 Specialized Cardiac Markers
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) – The gold standard for cardiovascular risk assessment. Each atherogenic particle carries exactly one ApoB molecule, making this measurement a direct count of particles damaging your arteries—far superior to cholesterol measurements that miss particle number entirely.
Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) – The protective protein found in HDL "good cholesterol" particles. Higher levels indicate better cardiovascular protection and improved cholesterol removal from arterial walls.
ApoB/ApoA1 Ratio – The balance between atherogenic and protective particles. This ratio predicts cardiovascular events more accurately than traditional cholesterol ratios, with elevated ratios indicating substantially increased risk even when individual values seem acceptable.
High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) – Measures arterial inflammation driving atherosclerosis progression. Elevated hs-CRP predicts heart attacks independent of cholesterol levels, identifying inflammation-driven cardiovascular risk that lipid testing misses.
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] – A genetically inherited lipoprotein and independent risk factor for heart disease. High Lp(a) levels of 50 mg/dL or higher promote clotting and inflammation, significantly increasing heart attack, stroke, aortic stenosis, and peripheral artery disease risk. This marker identifies inherited cardiovascular risk unaffected by lifestyle modifications.

Complete Health Assessment Beyond Cardiac
While cardiac markers provide crucial risk stratification, this package includes comprehensive health evaluation across all major systems:
Complete Blood Count (21 parameters) – Comprehensive blood cell analysis detecting anemia, infections, blood disorders, and immune dysfunction affecting cardiovascular health.
Kidney Function – Renal status directly impacts cardiovascular risk, with kidney disease substantially increasing heart attack and stroke probability.
Liver Function – Hepatic health influences lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk through multiple pathways including inflammatory markers and cholesterol processing.
Lipid Profile – Standard cholesterol panel including total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides providing baseline comparison against advanced particle measurements.
Diabetes Assessment – HbA1c and fasting glucose revealing blood sugar control over three months—critical since diabetes multiplies cardiovascular risk.
Vitamins D & B12 – Deficiencies independently associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk through multiple mechanisms.
Electrolytes – Sodium, potassium, and chloride balance affecting heart rhythm, blood pressure, and cardiovascular function.
Urine Analysis – Detects kidney disease, diabetes complications, and other conditions impacting cardiovascular health.
Who Needs Advanced Cardiac Assessment?
This comprehensive evaluation suits individuals with:
- Family history of early heart disease, heart attacks, or strokes
- Diabetes or metabolic syndrome multiplying cardiovascular risk
- Normal cholesterol but concern about true particle burden
- High triglycerides suggesting discordant particle counts
- Obesity or abdominal fat associated with increased atherogenic particles
- Previous abnormal cardiac tests requiring detailed follow-up
- Age over 40 when cardiovascular risk accelerates
- Multiple risk factors (smoking, hypertension, sedentary lifestyle)
Simple Home Collection Process
This test requires 8-10 hours fasting for accurate metabolic measurements. Our certified phlebotomists arrive at your Dubai location—office, home, or hotel—at your scheduled time. The blood and urine collection takes minutes, with samples immediately transported to our CAP-accredited laboratory for analysis.
Results arrive electronically within 48 hours, reviewed by our Clinical Pathologists who identify elevated cardiac risk requiring intervention. Every test includes complimentary physician consultation where our DHA-licensed doctors explain findings, stratify cardiovascular risk, recommend preventive interventions, and arrange cardiology referrals when advanced particle counts demand specialist care.
Investment in Cardiovascular Protection
At AED 539, the Extensive Cardiac Function package delivers cardiology-grade risk assessment at remarkable value. The advanced particle measurements distinguish this from basic screenings, providing the sophisticated cardiovascular intelligence that enables early intervention before disease develops.
This assessment empowers proactive heart disease prevention through early identification of elevated atherogenic burden, inherited risk factors like Lp(a), and inflammatory processes driving atherosclerosis—all modifiable with appropriate interventions when detected early.
