What Is Cardiac Homocysteine Testing?

Cardiac Homocysteine testing is a reliable way to predict arterial damage before it occurs. Elevated homocysteine levels in the blood increase your risk of artery damage, potentially leading to heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. Monitoring and managing these levels can prevent future complications.

How Elevated Homocysteine Affects Arteries:

  • High levels of homocysteine can damage the walls of your arteries.
  • It’s linked to higher risks of heart attacks, strokes, and recurrent coronary events.
  • Managing homocysteine through diet, vitamins, and lifestyle can protect your arteries.

Key Benefits of Testing:

  • Predict: Understand your risk for coronary artery disease and future cardiovascular issues.
  • Prevent: Manage and lower elevated homocysteine levels through targeted nutrition.
  • Protect: Take proactive measures to protect your arteries from damage.

Nutritional Support for Healthy Arteries:

  • Folic Acid and Vitamin B6 supplementation can significantly lower homocysteine levels.
  • Follow an alkaline diet and energy-producing foods to support overall cardiovascular health.
