Atherosclerosis risk
Description | Basic evaluations: Small blood count, ESR, basal TSH, if necessary liver- and kidney parameters, electrolytes Risk factors: Total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, Friedewald- formula or lipid-electrophoresis, CRP-ultrasensitive, homocysteine (Sodium fluoride-plasma), lipoprotein- (a), fibrinogen, glucose, cardiolipin-antibodies ((citrate-plasma or serum), factor II- (prothrombin)- mutation with PCR (EDTA-blood), apolipoprotein-E-genotyping, parodontopathogenic germs (PCR), parodontitis is an independent risk factor of atherosclerosis. | Additional information | Please note: The patient’s personal risk can be estimated with the help of the PROCAM-points-scheme (which takes into account the patient’s age, LDL- and HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, smoking, diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarctions in the family history and systolic blood pressure).
