5 heart attacks happen every hour in South Africa, and most people never see it coming because they're only looking at cholesterol.

Here's the problem: a "normal" cholesterol number tells you almost nothing on its own. Two people can have the exact same cholesterol level and completely different heart attack risk.

So what should you actually be checking?

These are the 7 biomarkers we check first on every patient, before anything else, because they tell us your real cardiovascular and metabolic risk.

✅ Apo B
✅ Lipoprotein(a)
✅ High-sensitivity CRP
✅ Blood pressure
✅ Fasting insulin
✅ HbA1c
✅ Triglycerides

Together, these give a far more accurate picture of what's actually happening inside your arteries, often years before symptoms show up, and long before a standard stress test would catch anything.

Knowing your numbers isn't about fear. It's about catching risk early enough to actually do something about it.
