Cardiovascular Biomarkers

Cardiovascular biomarkers are measurable indicators found in blood that help assess heart health and the risk of heart disease. They can reveal signs of injury, inflammation, or stress in the heart and blood vessels. Common examples include cholesterol levels, which relate to plaque buildup; troponin, which indicates heart muscle injury; and C-reactive protein, which signals inflammation. Doctors use these markers to diagnose, monitor, and manage cardiovascular conditions more accurately, enabling timely treatment and better prevention strategies.
