A Healthy Heart Package aids in detecting the risk of heart disease even before an individual develops symptoms. This package is especially useful for individuals having risk factors including obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, family history of heart disease, any previous history of heart blockage, etc. 

A Healthy Heart Package measures lipids, which are essential for the proper functioning of the body. However, when present in excess, they can deposit in the arteries, narrowing them, and making it difficult for blood to flow. This is why understanding the lipid levels is crucial for assessing the risk of heart disease. This package also measures cardiac risk markers such as lipoprotein A, apolipoproteins A1 & B, homocysteine, and high-sensitive CRP (hsCRP). Cardiac risk markers show up in the blood after the heart has been under severe stress or injury and provide valuable information about inflammation, clotting, and metabolic processes which are linked to a higher risk of heart disease. Apart from these, a Healthy Heart Package also determines kidney functioning and blood sugar levels which can affect the heart's activity. 

Usually, overnight fasting (8-12 hours) is preferred before going for a Healthy Heart Package. Do not eat or drink anything except water before the test. It is important to inform the doctor if you are taking other medications or supplements as they might interfere with test results and your doctor may ask you to stop taking them.
