Description
CardioMetabolic Profile
A convenient finger-stick blood spot test that evaluates key markers related to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes risk.
What does this test measure?
It typically includes measurements of:
- Long-term glucose control (Hemoglobin A1c)
- Fasting insulin for insulin resistance
- Basic lipid panel (Total Cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides)
- High-sensitivity CRP (inflammation marker)
By looking at these markers together, this profile identifies features of metabolic syndrome (e.g., high TG, low HDL, insulin resistance) and systemic inflammation.
Who is this test most suitable for?
- Overweight or sedentary individuals
- People with high-sugar diet
- Smokers (CRP often higher)
- Those with family history of diabetes or heart disease
Clinical Use
It’s used for patients as a screening or monitoring tool for heart health – for example, someone with borderline high sugar and cholesterol can see if insulin is high (indicating prediabetes) and if inflammation is present, which might warrant earlier intervention. The dried blood spot format allows easy collection at home or clinic without venipuncture.
