Modern laboratory tests

Advanced blood tests for your cardiovascular health

Modern cardiovascular medicine allows us to identify individual risk factors early and treat them with precision. 

Blood tests play an ever greater role in this.

At the Cardiology Centre Munich-Pasing, we offer advanced blood tests that go well beyond standard values.

Blood tests help to detect certain diseases early. They also show where targeted lifestyle changes can actively protect your heart. Lab values then help us to guide those changes.

Why are laboratory tests important for the heart?

Many relevant cardiovascular risk factors can only be detected by a blood test.

Modern blood tests can provide valuable information on

  • cardiovascular risks
  • inflammatory processes
  • diabetes and metabolic diseases
  • vitamin deficiencies

Frequently asked questions about blood tests at the Cardiology Centre Munich-Pasing

Lp(a) is an inherited risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Its level is largely genetic and barely affected by diet or exercise. Because raised Lp(a) often goes undetected, medical societies recommend having it measured at least once in your lifetime. 

Standard cholesterol values are important, but they do not capture every individual risk factor. Additional markers such as apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein(a) give a much more detailed picture, significantly improve risk assessment and help target preventive measures.

The omega-3 index measures the proportion of certain omega-3 fatty acids in the red blood cells. It reflects your long-term omega-3 intake and serves as an additional marker of cardiovascular health.

Most results are available the next day, and we then discuss them with you in detail.

In most cases, no. If a fasting sample is needed in exceptional cases, we will let you know in advance.
