Why take a test?
The PLAC Blood Test screens for the levels of Lp-PLA2 in your blood. The blood test sample will detect the presence of Lp-PLA2 and identify if you need treatment for reducing the build of plaque in your coronary arteries. Along with the report, we also provide our Certified Doctor's comments. This test is ideally suitable for those with high cholesterol, genetic history of heart diseases and individuals with a busy or stressful lifestyle.
