Heart health & cholesterol tests
Heart disease strikes Indians about a decade earlier than people in many other countries. High cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure are the biggest risks — and they rarely cause symptoms until it is late.
- Family history of early heart attack
- Diabetes or high blood pressure
- Smoking or obesity
Recommended tests
- Lipid Profile₹650
- Glucose Fasting₹70
- HbA1c₹600
- Creatinine₹300
- Electrolytes₹800
Quick answer
A Lipid Profile is the main blood test for heart health — it measures total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides. Combine it with fasting blood sugar and HbA1c, because diabetes greatly increases heart risk. Fast 10–12 hours before the test.
When should you get tested?
- Family history of early heart attack
- Diabetes or high blood pressure
- Smoking or obesity
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Chest discomfort on exertion (see a doctor immediately)
Good to know
- Check your lipid profile every year after 30 if you have any risk factor.
- LDL ("bad") cholesterol is the main number to bring down.
- Chest pain is an emergency — go to a hospital, not a lab.
