Studies show 75% of patients who suffer heart attacks have LDL (bad) cholesterol levels within the "normal" range. Tack180's testing goes deeper to uncover risk factors basic testing misses.
At over 600,000 fatalities each year (that's 1 out of every 4), heart disease is the leading cause of death in America. The limited testing that is covered by your routine annual physical is partly to blame for this. Most insurance plans will only cover basic testing such as LDL (“bad” cholesterol), HDL (“good” cholesterol), and total cholesterol.
While important, these numbers fail to provide you and your doctor with the full picture. Tack180’s advanced heart disease risk panel (including NMR Lipid Panel) goes much farther by testing things like cholesterol particle size and density, as well as homocysteine, which allows doctors to uncover risk factors that more basic testing misses.
In addition to the advanced lipid panel, you also have the option of adding a CT Calcium Score to the Heart Health Program below. A CT Calcium Score is an advanced imaging scan that analyzes the amount of plaque buildup in your arteries. This plaque is an important warning sign of heart disease because it can break off and cause a potentially fatal heart attack or stroke.
