Cardiac Risk Markers May Help Predict and Prevent Heart Disease

You can have normal cholesterol and blood pressure, feel great…and still have a heart attack.   Dr. Shiva Lalezar, an experienced Functional Medicine specialist in Los Angeles, always sees it happen. Blood pressure measurement and blood cholesterol levels may not be, in and of themselves, sufficiently accurate in predicting heart disease. That’s why we use cardiac risk markers as part of our comprehensive diagnostic tests at the Health & Vitality Center, the Los Angeles wellness clinic founded by Dr. Lalezar.

What are cardiac risk markers?

Cardiac risk markers may be certain substances that can be measured in the blood. Clinical studies have shown that these markers put you at a statistically higher risk for heart disease.  These markers include highly sensitive CRP, Ferritin, Homocysteine, and Lipoprotein.

Treatment Options

Based on the results of this diagnostic test, we may recommend the following treatments:

  • Custom Diet and Exercise Plans/Lifestyle Modification
  • IV Vitamin Therapy
  • Nutritional Supplements
  • CaEDTA Chelation Therapy
