Heart Markers
Heart markers, also known as cardiac markers or biomarkers, are substances that are measured in the blood to assess heart health and diagnose or monitor heart-related conditions. These markers are typically released into the bloodstream when there is damage or stress on the heart muscle.
Heart markers are used to evaluate the risk, prognosis, and effectiveness of treatment for various cardiac conditions, such as heart attacks (myocardial infarction), heart failure, and certain cardiac disorders. They can help healthcare professionals assess the extent of heart damage, monitor the progress of treatment, and determine the risk of future cardiovascular events.
Commonly measured heart markers include: Troponin, Creatine Kinase-MB (CK-MB), B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) and Myoglobin.
Other heart markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and D-dimer, may also be measured to assess inflammation and blood clotting, respectively, which can be associated with certain heart conditions.
These markers and tests help healthcare professionals diagnose and monitor various heart-related conditions and determine the appropriate treatment and interventions.

Heart Markers
HS CRP Rapid Test
Price requestThe high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test is a commercially available blood test used to measure the levels of C-reactive protein in the bloodstream. This test is highly sensitive and can detect even low levels of CRP, which is a marker of inflammation in the body. It is often used to assess an individual’s risk of cardiovascular disease and to monitor chronic inflammatory conditions. Commercially, this test is offered by various diagnostic laboratories and healthcare providers and is an essential tool for assessing an individual’s risk of heart disease and guiding preventive measures.

CK-MB Rapid Test
Price requestThe CK-MB test, or Creatine Kinase-MB test, is a commercially available diagnostic blood test used to measure the levels of a specific enzyme called creatine kinase-MB in the bloodstream. This test is primarily used to assess and diagnose heart muscle damage, such as during a heart attack.
Elevated CK-MB levels in the blood can indicate myocardial injury, as this enzyme is primarily found in the heart muscle. It is an important tool for healthcare professionals to help confirm or rule out acute coronary syndrome and other cardiac conditions.

Heart Markers
Myoglobin Rapid Test
Price requestThe myoglobin test is a blood test that measures the levels of myoglobin, a muscle protein, in the bloodstream. This test is used to diagnose muscle damage, particularly in the context of heart attacks or muscle injuries. Elevated myoglobin levels can indicate muscle injury or heart muscle damage, helping healthcare professionals with diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Heart Markers
BNP Rapid Test
Price requestThe B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) test is a blood test used to measure the levels of BNP in the bloodstream. BNP is a hormone released by the heart in response to increased pressure or stress, often associated with heart failure. This test is used to diagnose and monitor heart failure and other cardiac conditions. It allows to assess cardiac function, guide treatment, and monitor the effectiveness of heart failure therapy. Elevated BNP levels can indicate heart problems and help physicians make informed decisions about patient care.

Heart Markers
D-Dimer Rapid Test
Price requestThe D-dimer test is a test that measures the levels of D-dimer, a protein fragment, in the bloodstream. It’s a critical diagnostic tool for detecting abnormal blood clot formation, often associated with conditions like deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Healthcare providers use this test to assess the likelihood of clot-related disorders, aiding in diagnosis and guiding treatment decisions. It plays a crucial role in ensuring patient safety and timely medical interventions.
