Cardiovascular
16 markers in this category
ApoA1 (Apolipoprotein A1)
ApoA1 reflects HDL function, which supports cholesterol clearance during the metabolic demands of intense training. A key marker for active individuals monitoring cardiovascular health.
ApoB (Apolipoprotein B)
ApoB provides the most accurate atherogenic particle count for active individuals concerned about long-term cardiovascular health alongside performance.
CK-MB
CK-MB helps distinguish heart-related enzyme elevations from skeletal muscle damage during intense training. It supports cardiovascular safety monitoring for active individuals.
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio
The cholesterol/HDL ratio is your total cholesterol divided by your HDL. Exercise tends to raise HDL, which lowers the ratio. A lower ratio points to a more favourable profile and a lower cardiovascular risk.
HDL Cholesterol
HDL cholesterol supports arterial health, which is essential for sustained cardiovascular performance. Regular exercise is one of the best ways to optimise HDL levels.
LDL Cholesterol
LDL cholesterol management is important for active individuals who want to protect their cardiovascular system for long-term performance. Exercise can favourably influence LDL particle composition.
LDL/HDL Ratio
The LDL/HDL ratio is your LDL cholesterol divided by your HDL. Exercise tends to raise HDL, which lowers the ratio. A lower ratio is more favourable. Learn what your value can mean.
Lipoprotein(a)
Lp(a) is a genetic cardiovascular risk factor that every active individual should know about. Understanding your inherent risk helps you make informed decisions about long-term cardiovascular health.
NT-proBNP
NT-proBNP can rise after intense endurance exercise. For active individuals, monitoring helps distinguish normal training responses from clinically significant cardiac stress.
Non-HDL Cholesterol
Non-HDL cholesterol is your total cholesterol minus your HDL. It captures all the unfavourable cholesterol types together and stays reliable in a non-fasting sample, which is practical around training. Learn what your value can mean.
Omega 3 + 6
The omega-3/omega-6 ratio affects inflammation and recovery. Active individuals can use this marker to optimise anti-inflammatory nutrition for faster recovery and joint protection.
Omega-3 Index
The Omega-3 Index provides a long-term view of omega-3 status, which affects inflammation, recovery, and cardiovascular health for active individuals. A key marker for performance nutrition.
Oxidized LDL
oxLDL reflects oxidative stress on lipoproteins. Active individuals benefit from monitoring this as intense training increases oxidative load on the cardiovascular system.
Total Cholesterol
Total cholesterol is a starting point for lipid assessment. Active individuals should look at the full panel including HDL, LDL, and triglycerides for complete cardiovascular insight.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are used as fuel during exercise. Monitoring helps active individuals understand fat metabolism efficiency and metabolic health alongside performance.
Troponin T (Cardiac)
Troponin T can rise transiently after intense endurance exercise. Active individuals should be aware of this marker to distinguish training effects from cardiac concerns.
