Cardiovascular Health Screening Event

Home Dietitians ran a community heart-health screening at Klinik RE — going beyond the traditional ECG and angiogram to measure the deeper blood markers that predict cardiovascular risk, each one interpreted on the spot by a registered dietitian with a personalised nutrition plan.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Malaysia — responsible for around 17% of all deaths, and it strikes especially from age 40 onward. A standard check-up often misses the early warning signs. This event was built to catch them earlier.

What the screening covered

Every participant received a body composition analysis (visceral fat, muscle mass and subcutaneous fat), a full nutritional assessment, and an advanced cardiovascular blood panel measuring markers most routine screenings skip:

Lipid Profile Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides — arterial plaque risk.
HS-CRP High-sensitivity C-reactive protein — hidden inflammation linked to heart disease.
Homocysteine Elevated levels damage blood vessels and drive atherosclerosis.
Ferritin Iron storage — both high and low levels carry cardiovascular risk.
ApoB / ApoA1 Ratio A precise lipid-risk measure beyond standard cholesterol.
IL-6 Interleukin-6 — an inflammation marker tied to cardiovascular events.
Lipoprotein(a) An inherited cholesterol form raising plaque risk, especially with family history.
NT-proBNP A stress protein from the heart — helps detect heart failure.
Fibrinogen A clotting factor; elevated levels raise heart attack and stroke risk.
Oxidised LDL Oxidised cholesterol that can initiate arterial plaque buildup.

More than a test — an interpretation

The difference at a Home Dietitians screening is what happens after the blood draw. Our registered dietitians read each result in context and translate it into a personalised dietary plan to protect and improve heart health — because a number on a lab report only helps if you know what to do about it.
