CardiacNexus
Deeper Insights Into the Genetic Risk of Cardiovascular Disease SpectraCell’s CardiacNexus Profile combines advanced cardiovascular insights into one integrated assessment.
Cardiac Nexus combines two of SpectraCell Labs’ targeted assessments, Lipoprotein ParticleProfile Plus and MTHFR Genotyping, into one integrated cardiovascular-focused testing bundle. By evaluating both lipoprotein particle patterns and key MTHFR variants, CardiacNexus provides a broader view of cardiovascular health thatgoes beyond standard cholesterol testing alone.
Comprehensive Cardiovascular Assessment
This bundled test is designed to assess important cardiovascular risk factors from multiple perspectives. Lipoprotein Particle Profile Plus offers advanced insight into lipoprotein particle number, size, and density, while MTHFR Genotyping provides clinically relevant context for folate processing, homocysteine metabolism, and methylation-related cardiovascular considerations.
A More Complete Risk Picture
Because cardiovascular health is influenced by more than one pathway, CardiacNexus brings together lipid-related and genetic insights in a single assessment. The result is a more comprehensive starting point for understanding cardiovascular risk and supporting more personalized health discussions.
