In cardiovascular diseases, the blood vessels in the body narrow due to the plaques that have formed. This is also known as arteriosclerosis or atherosclerosis. If the vessels narrow, less blood and oxygen flow to the tissues and organs. All organs are affected to a greater or lesser extent, leading to a variety of complaints and potentially severe acute conditions, such as a heart attack.
At Easly, we believe in preventive examination. Therefore, perform the home test for cardiovascular diseases yourself and stay healthy!
What is being tested?
This test measures hs-CRP levels through a blood test. Above, you can read what hs-CRP specifically measures. However, assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease is a complex matter and often also requires measuring cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and examining many other factors. This test is therefore part of a larger picture. You perform the cardiovascular disease self-test yourself using a finger prick. Easly analyzes the blood sample in our lab and quickly provides you with the results so you can get an idea of your risk of cardiovascular disease.
The cardiovascular system (the heart and vessels in the body) ensures that oxygen, nutrients, and waste products are transported throughout the body via the blood. This helps waste products leave the body and ensures that organs and tissues receive the necessary substances.
In cardiovascular diseases, the blood vessels in the body narrow due to the plaques that have formed. This is also known as arteriosclerosis or atherosclerosis. Various factors can reduce the quality of the vessels and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
If the vessels narrow, less blood and oxygen flow to the tissues and organs. All organs are affected to a greater or lesser extent, leading to a variety of complaints. These complaints can ultimately result in an 'infarction', which can occur in various parts of the body.
Depending on the possible conditions (narrowed coronary arteries or angina pectoris, heart attack, heart failure, etc.), the symptoms differ. It's a good idea to have your risk of cardiovascular disease investigated through a preventive test. If you suspect something is wrong, contact a doctor or call 112 immediately.
Symptoms of cardiovascular disease:
Some symptoms of arteriosclerosis:
The doctor can assess the risk of cardiovascular disease. The risk is categorized into three levels:
The test is very useful when you want to assess your risk of cardiovascular disease.
A cardiovascular disease blood test is useful for anyone interested in their cardiovascular health or experiencing mild symptoms. If you know you have an increased risk, you should take further action. Do you already have severe symptoms? Then contact your GP or 112.
Furthermore, a cardiovascular disease test is recommended for people who smoke, suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, kidney damage, rheumatism, a lot of stress, overweight, or for those who exercise little and eat and drink unhealthily.
However, men over 40 also have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. For women, the risk increases above 50 years of age, as well as for women between 40 and 50 years of age who are in menopause.
People of Turkish, African (Sub-Saharan), Indian, Asian-Surinamese, or Caribbean descent have an increased chance of cardiovascular disease.
