Jaanch Heart Screen Basic 17 Tests

What is Jaanch Heart Screen Basic?

The Jaanch Heart Screen Basic is a focused 17-parameter cardiac health package powered by Thyrocare — designed to assess your heart attack risk before symptoms appear. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in India, and 75% of Indians below 50 years are at risk of a heart attack. This package screens for advanced cardiac biomarkers that go beyond a routine ECG or cholesterol check.

All tests are performed at NABL-accredited, CAP-accredited Thyrocare labs with reports released within 6 hours of samples reaching the lab.

Tests Included (17 Parameters)

Cardiac Risk Markers (6 Tests)

• High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) — Sensitive marker of arterial inflammation; elevated hs-CRP is an independent predictor of heart attack risk even in people with normal cholesterol levels.
• Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] — Genetically determined particle that accelerates plaque formation in arteries. High Lp(a) is a major independent risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
• Apo B / Apo A1 Ratio (Apo B/A1) — The most powerful single ratio predictor of cardiovascular risk; reflects the balance between atherogenic and protective lipoproteins.
• Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1) — Main protein of HDL "good" cholesterol; measures the actual protective capacity of your HDL beyond just its level.
• Apolipoprotein B (Apo-B) — Protein found in all atherogenic (plaque-forming) particles; a more accurate predictor of cardiovascular risk than LDL alone.
• Homocysteine — Elevated homocysteine damages blood vessel walls and accelerates clot formation; an important independent cardiac risk factor linked to B-vitamin deficiency.

Lipid Profile+ (10 Tests)

• Total Cholesterol — Overall cholesterol level in blood.
• HDL Cholesterol – Direct — "Good" cholesterol that protects arteries.
• LDL Cholesterol – Direct — "Bad" cholesterol that forms arterial plaques.
• LDL / HDL Ratio — Cardiovascular risk indicator.
• NON-HDL Cholesterol — All atherogenic lipoproteins combined; a stronger predictor than LDL alone.
• TC / HDL Cholesterol Ratio — Total-to-good cholesterol ratio; predictor of coronary risk.
• Triglycerides — Blood fats elevated in metabolic syndrome, diabetes and poor diet.
• VLDL Cholesterol — Very low-density lipoprotein that carries triglycerides.
• HDL / LDL Ratio — Lipid balance indicator.
• TRIG / HDL Ratio — Strong surrogate marker for insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Troponin I Heart Attack Risk (ACTNI) (1 Test)

• Troponin I (ACTNI) — The gold standard biomarker for heart muscle damage. Elevated Troponin I indicates myocardial injury and is used to detect silent heart attacks and assess ongoing cardiac risk.

Why This Package?

• Heart disease kills more Indians than any other condition — yet 75% of those at risk are unaware
• Goes beyond routine lipid profile to measure advanced cardiac risk markers not included in standard blood tests
• Troponin I detects silent heart attacks that show no symptoms
• Apo B, Lp(a) and Homocysteine are independent risk factors missed by standard cholesterol tests
• Powered by Thyrocare — NABL and CAP accredited labs trusted by 9 in 10 doctors

Who Should Take This Test?

• Adults above 30 years — especially men above 40 and women above 45
• Anyone with family history of heart disease, heart attack or stroke
• People with high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity
• Smokers and those with sedentary lifestyle
• Anyone with chest pain, breathlessness, heartburn or palpitations
• People with elevated cholesterol on previous tests
