It sounds like science fiction, but blood tests are getting smart—very smart. New cardiac biomarker tests can detect troponin and hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) levels, which may reveal damage to the heart before symptoms even show up.
These early warning signs help doctors prevent a heart attack before it occurs. For people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease, this could be a life-saving discovery.
Imagine walking into a routine lab test and walking out with information that saves your life. That’s the power of modern phlebotomy.
Talk to your provider about preventive heart screening—and take control of your health, one test at a time.
