The Standard Heart Panel is a broader cardiovascular screening group that combines a lipid panel and inflammation markers with an additional risk-related test. It is designed for people who want more detail than a basic cholesterol check, particularly those with risk factors for heart disease. The panel uses a single blood sample. Results give a healthcare provider a fuller view of heart-related risk factors, which are then interpreted alongside blood pressure, lifestyle, and personal history.

• Total cholesterol The overall amount of cholesterol in the blood.
• HDL cholesterol High-density lipoprotein, often called good cholesterol.
• LDL cholesterol Low-density lipoprotein, often called bad cholesterol.
• Triglycerides A type of blood fat used as a cardiovascular risk marker.
• High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) A marker of inflammation that can be associated with cardiovascular risk.
• Homocysteine An amino acid in the blood that can be evaluated as a cardiovascular risk marker.

• People with a family history of heart disease
• Individuals with risk factors such as high blood pressure or diabetes
• People whose healthcare provider wants a fuller cardiovascular screen
• Those monitoring heart-related risk factors over time
• Individuals starting or adjusting a heart-healthy plan

• Fasting for several hours is often requested before a lipid panel; follow the instructions on your order
• Stay hydrated with water unless told otherwise
• Avoid strenuous exercise right before the blood draw
• Tell the lab about medications that affect cholesterol, homocysteine, or inflammation

Each component is reported with a reference range. Higher total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, or homocysteine and lower HDL may be associated with cardiovascular risk, while an elevated hs-CRP may suggest inflammation. These markers support risk assessment rather than diagnosing heart disease. A healthcare provider interprets them with your blood pressure, lifestyle, and history. Discuss your standard heart panel results with a healthcare provider before making any decisions.
