About Cardiac Health Checkup
Heart-related health problems may develop gradually and sometimes do not cause obvious symptoms in the early stages. Regular health checks can help identify factors such as high cholesterol, abnormal kidney markers and other changes that may be relevant to cardiovascular health.
The Cardiac Health Checkup brings together a range of blood tests to provide a broader view of important heart-related risk factors. It includes cholesterol testing, kidney function assessment and selected inflammation and cardiovascular markers, helping doctors understand your results alongside your medical history, symptoms and other risk factors.

- CRP (C Reactive Protein), Quantitative
- CRP is a blood marker associated with inflammation and is interpreted along with other clinical findings.
- Homocysteine
- This blood test measures the level of homocysteine and may be considered as part of a broader cardiovascular risk assessment.

- This test measures very low levels of CRP and may be used as part of cardiovascular risk assessment when clinically appropriate.
How It Works
Frequently Asked Questions
This package includes 24 tests covering kidney function, cholesterol and lipid levels, CRP, Homocysteine and high-sensitivity CRP.
The reference package specifies 12 hours of fasting before the test. Follow the specific instructions provided by Ujala Cygnus before your appointment.
Cholesterol and triglyceride levels are important factors considered while assessing cardiovascular health. A lipid profile helps doctors understand these levels along with yourage, blood pressure, diabetes status, lifestyle and other risk factors.
The kidneys and cardiovascular system are closely connected. Kidney function results can provide useful information about overall health and may be relevant when assessingcardiovascular risk.
Both tests measure C-reactive protein, but hs-CRP is designed to detect much lower levels. Your doctor can decide which test is more appropriate based on your health and risk factors
A Homocysteine test measures the amount of homocysteine in the blood. It may be used as one part of a broader assessment when a doctor feels it is clinically useful.
It may be useful for people with cardiovascular risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle or a family history of heartdisease. Your doctor can advise whether this package is suitable for you.
No. This package is a health-risk and laboratory assessment package and should not be used to diagnose an emergency such as a heart attack. Anyone experiencing severe chest pain, breathing difficulty, fainting or other emergency symptoms should seek immediate medicalcare.
No. The Ujala Cygnus package reviewed here lists blood-based laboratory tests and does not include ECG or Echocardiography.
The Ujala Cygnus reference page advertises a report time of around 11 hours. For the Ujala Cygnus website, the actual reporting time should be updated according to your hospital's laboratory turnaround time.
