Cardiovascular
16 markers in this category
ApoA1 (Apolipoprotein A1)
ApoA1 reflects your HDL's protective capacity against heart disease. Cardiovascular risk increases after menopause, making this marker especially relevant for women.
ApoB (Apolipoprotein B)
ApoB provides a precise measure of cardiovascular risk that goes beyond standard cholesterol. Heart disease risk increases after menopause, making ApoB an important marker for women.
CK-MB
CK-MB is a heart-specific enzyme marker that helps detect cardiac injury. Awareness of cardiac health markers supports comprehensive well-being for women.
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio
According to the NVKC, cholesterol is needed among other things for making certain hormones and bile acids, and for building tissues and organs.
HDL Cholesterol
Your HDL cholesterol tells you how much cholesterol is circulating in the particles that carry it back to your liver, and in women that value reads differently than in men.
LDL Cholesterol
According to the NVKC, the body uses cholesterol to build tissues and to make certain hormones and bile acids, and partly makes it itself in the liver.
LDL/HDL Ratio
The LDL/HDL ratio tells you how your LDL cholesterol relates to your HDL cholesterol: one number divided by the other.
Lipoprotein(a)
Lp(a), in full lipoprotein(a), is an LDL lipoprotein according to the Dutch guideline on inherited dyslipidaemia, a lipid particle that carries cholesterol, with a protein called apolipoprotein(a) coupled to it.
NT-proBNP
According to the NVKC, the hormone pro-BNP, which is cut into BNP and NT-proBNP, helps the heart pump: it lowers blood pressure and makes the body pass more salt and water in the urine.
Non-HDL Cholesterol
According to Thuisarts, cholesterol is a fatty substance with which the body makes cells, hormones and bile.
Omega 3 + 6
The omega-3/omega-6 ratio affects inflammation levels, which can influence hormonal balance, menstrual comfort, and cardiovascular health for women.
Omega-3 Index
The Omega-3 Index reflects your long-term omega-3 status, which may support cardiovascular protection, mood balance, and healthy pregnancy outcomes.
Oxidized LDL
oxLDL measures the most harmful form of cholesterol. Monitoring supports advanced cardiovascular protection for women, especially after menopause.
Total Cholesterol
Total cholesterol provides an overview of your lipid health. Women's cholesterol levels often change with menopause, making regular screening important.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides can be influenced by hormonal factors and may change during menopause. Monitoring supports metabolic and cardiovascular health awareness for women.
Troponin T (Cardiac)
Troponin sits in the cells of the heart muscle and allows that muscle to contract.
