Quick answer
The Standard Heart Panel is a six-test order that screens general and cardiovascular health. It combines cholesterol and lipid testing with inflammatory and related markers to give a broader view than a basic cholesterol check. It is often chosen by people with risk factors for heart disease, and a qualified healthcare provider interprets the results alongside other clinical information.
What this test measures
Heart health screening looks beyond total cholesterol to build a fuller picture of cardiovascular risk. This panel groups six tests that cover lipids, inflammation, and related markers. Together they can help a clinician understand cholesterol balance and the presence of low-grade inflammation, which are factors considered in cardiovascular assessment.
The panel uses a blood sample drawn from a vein. It typically includes total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and an additional marker such as homocysteine or lipoprotein(a). Some laboratories bundle the lipid components into a single report and list the inflammatory marker separately.
This testing is often chosen by people with a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or other risk factors. It may also be used to follow a known condition over time. Results do not diagnose heart disease by themselves; a qualified healthcare provider reviews them with the person's history, lifestyle, and other evaluations.
- Total cholesterol
- LDL cholesterol
- HDL cholesterol
- Triglycerides
- High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)
- Homocysteine
- Lipoprotein(a)
- Apolipoprotein B
Why people order this test
- Screen cardiovascular risk beyond a basic cholesterol test
- Review lipid and inflammatory markers together
- Follow known heart health markers over time
- Support an evaluation when heart disease runs in the family
- Provide a baseline before discussing prevention with a provider
- Check risk factors such as high blood pressure or diabetes
How to prepare
Fasting is often requested because the panel includes a lipid profile. A blood sample is drawn from a vein, usually at the arm. Follow the timing instructions supplied with the order and share a current medication list with the ordering provider.
Understanding your results
Results are typically available within one to three business days. The report lists the lipid values and the additional markers separately. A qualified healthcare provider interprets them together with the person's history and risk factors, since one result alone does not diagnose heart disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Standard Heart Panel test?
It combines six tests, typically a lipid panel plus inflammatory and related markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
Do I need to fast before the heart panel?
Fasting is often requested because a lipid profile is included. Follow the instructions provided with the order.
Who should consider heart health testing?
People with a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or other risk factors often choose it, sometimes as a baseline for a provider discussion.
Can this test diagnose heart disease?
No. It reports markers that a qualified healthcare provider interprets in context. It supports, but does not replace, a full cardiovascular evaluation.
What is high-sensitivity C-reactive protein?
It is a marker of low-grade inflammation that some clinicians consider alongside cholesterol when assessing cardiovascular risk.
