MIPL - CARDIAC SCREENING
MRP - ₹ 6,920 4,800
About the package:
The Cardiac Screening Package is a thorough health check-up focused on evaluating your heart disease risk. It includes key tests such as Fasting Blood Sugar, HbA1c, Lipid Profile, Kidney Function Test (KFT), High-Sensitivity CRP (Hs-CRP), Apolipoprotein A1 & B, Homocysteine, Lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a), Urine Routine/Microscopy, and Urine Microalbumin. These tests measure blood sugar control, cholesterol levels, inflammation, advanced markers of artery plaque buildup, and early signs of kidney stress — all major contributors to heart attacks, strokes, and coronary artery disease.
Women especially benefit from this package as heart disease is their number-one cause of death, often develops silently with different or subtler symptoms than in men, and is influenced by unique factors like hormonal shifts after menopause, history of pregnancy-related conditions (e.g., gestational diabetes or high blood pressure), and autoimmune tendencies, making early detection and preventive steps even more critical for long-term heart health.

FAQs
It is highly recommended for women over 40, those with family history of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking history, obesity, pregnancy complications (e.g., gestational diabetes/preeclampsia), or post-menopause hormonal changes.
The standard lipids measure cholesterol/triglycerides; while Apo A1/B provide a more precise count of atherogenic (plaque-causing) particles — ApoB is often a better predictor of heart risk than LDL alone.
Lp(a) is a genetic, sticky form of LDL cholesterol that promotes plaque and clots; high levels (largely inherited) raise heart disease/stroke risk independently of lifestyle.
Elevated homocysteine (an amino acid) damages artery walls and increases clotting risk; high levels link to higher chances of heart attack, stroke, or vessel disease.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, often with subtler symptoms; unique risks (menopause, pregnancy history, autoimmune factors) make early, advanced screening crucial for prevention.
