Cardiac Peptides
Test: NT-proBNP
Why it matters: NT-proBNP detects subtle cardiac strain or fluid imbalance long before traditional imaging can. It’s one of the most sensitive early biomarkers for heart failure risk, making it central to predictive, longevity-based cardiology.
Metabolic & Glycemic Control
Tests: Glucose, Insulin, HOMA Index, HbA1c
Why it matters: Cardiometabolic health defines how efficiently your body converts energy and regulates blood sugar. Even mild insulin resistance can accelerate arterial inflammation and plaque formation. Early optimization prevents vascular aging at its metabolic roots.
Hormonal & Thyroid Function
Tests: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Cortisol
Why it matters: Hormones control energy expenditure, vascular tone, and cardiac rhythm. Thyroid and adrenal hormones influence blood pressure, lipid metabolism, and cardiac output — making them essential parameters in preventive heart care.
Micronutrient & Vascular Integrity Markers
Tests: Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Homocysteine
Why it matters: Optimal nutrient and methylation status supports endothelial health, reduces vascular stiffness, and prevents oxidative stress. Elevated homocysteine is a silent driver of arterial inflammation and reduced nitric oxide bioavailability — both critical in aging and heart disease.
