Jaanch Heart Screen Advanced 55 Tests

What is Jaanch Heart Screen Advanced?

The Jaanch Heart Screen Advanced is a comprehensive 55-parameter cardiac health package that goes well beyond a basic heart screen. It adds kidney function, diabetes and a full blood count to the cardiac risk assessment — recognising that heart disease rarely occurs in isolation. Diabetes, kidney disease and anaemia are all strong independent risk factors for cardiovascular events, and this package screens for all of them together.

Powered by Thyrocare — NABL-accredited, CAP-accredited labs. Reports released within 6 hours of samples reaching the lab.

Tests Included (55 Parameters)

Cardiac Risk Markers (5 Tests)

• Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] — Genetically elevated Lp(a) is a major independent risk factor for heart attack and stroke, unaffected by standard cholesterol treatment.
• Apo B / Apo A1 Ratio — The most powerful single lipid ratio for cardiovascular risk prediction.
• Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1) — Protective HDL protein; measures true cardioprotective capacity.
• Apolipoprotein B (Apo-B) — Atherogenic particle marker; a more accurate predictor of cardiac risk than LDL alone.
• Homocysteine — Elevated homocysteine damages arterial walls and accelerates clot formation; an independent cardiac and stroke risk factor linked to B-vitamin deficiency.

Lipid Profile+ (10 Tests)

• Total Cholesterol — Overall cholesterol in blood.
• HDL Cholesterol – Direct — Protective "good" cholesterol.
• LDL Cholesterol – Direct — Plaque-forming "bad" cholesterol.
• LDL / HDL Ratio — Cardiovascular risk ratio.
• NON-HDL Cholesterol — All atherogenic lipoproteins combined.
• TC / HDL Cholesterol Ratio — Coronary risk predictor.
• Triglycerides — Blood fats; elevated in metabolic syndrome and poor diet.
• VLDL Cholesterol — Carries triglycerides to tissues.
• HDL / LDL Ratio — Lipid balance indicator.
• TRIG / HDL Ratio — Strong surrogate for insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Electrolytes (2 Tests)

• Sodium — Regulates fluid balance, blood pressure and nerve impulses. Imbalance can trigger dangerous cardiac arrhythmias.
• Chloride — Works with sodium to maintain acid-base and fluid balance.

Diabetes Profile (2 Tests)

• HbA1c — 3-month average blood sugar; diabetes doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease. Essential to screen alongside any cardiac assessment.
• Average Blood Glucose (ABG) — Calculated average glucose derived from HbA1c.

Kidney Profile (7 Tests)

• Serum Creatinine — Primary marker of kidney filtration; kidney disease significantly amplifies cardiovascular risk.
• Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) — Waste product filtered by kidneys.
• BUN / Creatinine Ratio — Helps identify the cause of elevated kidney markers.
• Urea (Calculated) — End product of protein metabolism cleared by kidneys.
• Uric Acid — Elevated uric acid is linked to hypertension, gout and cardiovascular events.
• Calcium — Vital for heart muscle function and nerve conduction.
• Urea / SR. Creatinine Ratio — Additional ratio to assess kidney and hydration status.

CBC — Complete Blood Count (28 Tests)

• Haemoglobin, RBC, WBC, Platelet Count, PCV, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW-CV, RDW-SD
• Differential leucocyte count: Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils (absolute and percentage)
• Platelet indices: MPV, PDW, PCT
• Anaemia increases cardiac workload and worsens heart disease outcomes; CBC is essential in any cardiac workup.

Troponin I Heart Attack Risk — ACTNI (1 Test)

• Troponin I — Gold standard biomarker for heart muscle damage. Detects silent heart attacks and ongoing myocardial injury that may show no symptoms.

Why Choose the Advanced Over Basic?

• Adds kidney profile — chronic kidney disease is a major cardiac risk amplifier
• Adds diabetes profile — diabetics have 2–4x higher risk of heart disease
• Adds complete blood count — anaemia strains the heart and worsens prognosis
• Adds electrolytes — sodium imbalance causes dangerous arrhythmias
• Covers 55 parameters vs 17 in the basic — a far more complete picture for the same fasting sample

Who Should Take This Test?

• Adults above 35 with any cardiac risk factor (high BP, diabetes, smoking, family history)
• People with breathlessness, chest pain, heartburn or palpitations
• Diabetics who need cardiac risk monitoring alongside blood sugar control
• Anyone with known kidney disease or elevated creatinine
• Those seeking a thorough cardiac assessment in a single blood draw
