Heart Assure For Diabetes

A. Anyone can test for their sugar levels and heart health through this panel.

 

B. Pre-diabetic / Diabetic patients having high blood sugar / HbA1c levels (Type 2 Diabetes) should ideally test themselves with this panel periodically. This panel will not only provide status of their diabetes but also give valuable information of their heart health.

It is a known fact that patients with uncontrolled / high diabetes are at high risk for developing Cardio Vascular Disease (Cardio Vascular Disease)¹. Testing periodically for your heart health will help identify any risk for Cardio Vascular Disease that may be underlying & provide patients / doctors to take timely corrective action.

Most heart diseases develop silently. In most cases, it’s already too late when the symptoms surface. Periodic & timely testing may help patients identify a developing Cardio Vascular Disease, giving them time to take corrective actions (in conjunction with their doctor’s advice).

 

Heart Assure (hsTnI)	Elevated levels indicates subclinical Myocardial injury2
NT-Pro BNP	Elevated levels indicates Heart Failure - overload of blood in either chamber of the heart, cause of wall stress in ventricles3
Lipid Profile	Elevation in lipid values may assist in correlation for risk assessment of CAD1,4
HbA1c & Glucose (F)	High levels of HbA1c & glucose may co-relate with CAD complications
Creatinine	Rule out false positive hsTnI levels due to possible renal disease / aliment5
