Did you know that cardiometabolic conditions are a major health concern in the UK? 

Approximately 4 million people in the UK are living with diabetes, and about 7 million people have cardiovascular disease. Additionally, metabolic syndrome and obesity affect a significant portion of the population, with nearly 64% of adults being classified as overweight or obese.

These conditions contribute to a large number of premature deaths and diminished quality of life. Cardiovascular disease alone accounts for around 25% of all deaths in the UK, making it a leading cause of mortality.

Cardiovascular Inflammation Test (CIT) 

The CIT is designed to assess and monitor cardiometabolic risk in adults, a common concern for many. Conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obesity are widespread but largely preventable and manageable. By using a strategic combination of blood tests, the CIT can identify and track the risk for serious health issues, helping to prevent premature death and improve quality of life.

Markers tested :

Lipids 

• Total Cholesterol (TC): Measures the cholesterol content in all cholesterol-containing lipoproteins. 

• Triglycerides (TG): Elevated levels increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk by altering lipoprotein metabolism. 

• Direct Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C): Indicates the amount of cholesterol in atherogenic low-density lipoproteins.

• High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C): Measures the cholesterol in high-density lipoproteins. Higher levels are linked to reduced CVD risk, but not all HDL is beneficial.

• Lipid Ratio: The ratio of TC to HDL-C is a stronger risk factor for CVD than either LDL-C or HDL-C alone. A low HDL-C to TG ratio is associated with insulin resistance. 

• Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)): Elevated levels, found in 20% of the population, are an independent risk factor for CVD.

• Apolipoprotein B (apoB): A key protein in atherogenic particles and a stronger predictor of CVD than LDL-C.

Metabolics

• Homocysteine: High levels are linked to vitamin B deficiency and an increased risk for CVD and dementia.

• Glucose: Fasting glucose is a strong predictor of diabetes and CVD risk.

• Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c): Assesses the average blood glucose over the past two to three months.

Inflammation

• High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP): An acute phase inflammatory protein associated with atherosclerosis, after excluding other causes
