Heart health screenings are an essential tool in modern medicine for assessing heart function and early detection of heart disease before it develops. Since the heart is responsible for pumping blood to all organs in the body, keeping it healthy is essential. These tests detect problems such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and atrial fibrillation, allowing for immediate therapeutic intervention and reducing serious complications. Screenings also identify risk factors such as high cholesterol and diabetes, and therefore design personalized health care plans.

Fal Medical Laboratories offers a range of cardiac analyses with the latest technology under the supervision of experienced specialists ensuring the best heart exam.

Heart health checkup details

There are many tests and tests to assess heart health. These tests include:

  • Blood analysis of the heart

Fat and cholesterol analysis for heart function includes:

Total cholesterol analysis: Assess potential risks for cardiovascular diseases such as the risk of atherosclerosis. Total cholesterol refers to the total cholesterol in the blood.

Positive cholesterol analysis: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) analysis measures the level of good cholesterol that helps remove bad cholesterol from the arteries.

High levels of HDL are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, while lower levels indicate an increased risk.

LDL analysis: A low-density lipoprotein (LDL) analysis measures the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood, which accumulates in the walls of your arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease. LDL is the main type of cholesterol that causes narrowing and atherosclerosis.

This build-up can lead to serious health complications, such as heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.

Triglyceride analysis: It measures and analyzes triglycerides in the blood, the elevation of which is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.

  • Blood Sugar Screening

1-Fasting blood sugar: Assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases associated with high blood sugar levels such as atherosclerosis and high blood pressure.

2-Cumulative Sugar (HbA1c): Long-term blood sugar control assessment where the cumulative glucose analysis reflects average blood sugar levels over the past few months.

  • Analysis of cardiac enzymes

Jwill be used as an indicator of elevated heart enzymes and includes:

Cardiac creatine kinase analysis:


It measures the level of the CK enzyme and helps in the diagnosis and monitoring of heart disease as the level of the CK enzyme in the blood rises after damage to the heart muscle.

Troponin Analysis:

Troponin analysis is among the most accurate tests for estimating the presence of a heart attack. The level of this enzyme in the blood rises when heart cells are damaged.

  • Blood creatinine analysis

Creatinine analysis is used as an indicator to estimate the risk of heart disease in people with kidney function problems.

  • Lactate dehydrogenase analysis

Lactate dehydrogenase analysis is one of the most important tests in examining heart function, as it works to:

  • Assessment of cardiovascular function: Lactate dehydrogenase analysis is used as an indicator of cardiovascular function, as a high level of lactate dehydrogenation is an indication of abnormalities in heart function or ischemia to the heart muscle.
  • Diagnosis and monitoring of heart attack: Lactate dehydrogenase analysis is used to help diagnose heart attacks, as a high lactate level can be a sign of heart muscle damage.
  • Assessment of cardiac stress severity: Lactate dehydrogenase analysis is used to test cardiac stress during athletic activities or strenuous exercise.

A high lactate level can be an indication of increased oxygen demand and nutrition in the muscles, including the heart muscle.

Steps of heart tests

A heart health analysis may or may not require fasting depending on the purpose of the test, so it's best to consult a doctor.

A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle. The blood is then taken into the test tube for later analysis.
