Heart Health Panel
Cholesterol and inflammation Insights
Protect your most vital organ with precision diagnostics. This at-home heart health test measures advanced lipid markers and hs-CRP, identifying
cardiovascular risks often missed in basic checks. Perfect for prevention, monitoring therapies, or optimizing performance in training.
This panel measures advanced lipid markers — LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (protective cholesterol), triglycerides, and cholesterol ratios — alongside hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), a marker of systemic vascular inflammation.
hs-CRP is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk that standard lipid panels miss. Research shows that elevated hs-CRP indicates residual cardiovascular risk even when LDL is well-controlled.

Longevity strategies
- You have a family history of heart disease, stroke, or high cholesterol (ACC/AHA 2019 Primary Prevention Guideline — family history of premature ASCVD is a recognized risk enhancer for earlier screening.)
- You are over 40 and have never had a detailed cardiovascular risk assessment (ACC/AHA Lipid Guideline 2026 — lipid-lowering therapy and full lipid assessment indicated for adults 40+ with risk factors.)
- You have been told your cholesterol is borderline and want to track it closely (NCEP ATP III — borderline LDL (130–159 mg/dL) warrants repeat monitoring and lifestyle intervention.)
- You are on a statin or lipid-lowering therapy and want to monitor its effectiveness (ACC/AHA 2026 — repeat lipid testing every 4–12 weeks after initiating therapy is recommended.)
- You follow a high-fat diet (keto, carnivore) and want to understand your lipid response (Levels Health 2026 — high-fat dietary patterns significantly alter LDL particle size and lipid profiles.)
- You have chronic inflammation, metabolic syndrome, or insulin resistance (Ridker PM, NEJM 2002 — hs-CRP is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events, especially in metabolic syndrome.)
- You are an athlete or high-performer who wants to assess cardiovascular risk alongside performance markers (AHA Scientific Statement — even fit individuals can carry hidden cardiovascular risk detectable via advanced lipid and inflammatory markers.)

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included, how to collect, when you'll see results, and how to use them.
What does this panel measure?
Cardiometabolic risk markers — lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), non‑HDL cholesterol (± apoB if specified), and related indicators — to quantify response to diet, exercise, and lipid‑focused interventions.
How is this different from traditional testing?
Boomerang Kits deliver clinical‑grade accuracy with unmatched convenience: one at‑home collection, CLIA‑certified lab analysis, and secure app‑based results. No waiting rooms, no hidden telehealth upsells — just clear, trusted data.
Who benefits most from this panel?
Adults managing cholesterol or with family history of cardiovascular disease; anyone adjusting diet, exercise, or therapy for heart health.
Is this a diagnostic test?
No. This is a laboratory screening panel intended for education and wellness. Boomerang Laboratories does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider for medical decisions.
How do I collect the sample?
At‑home finger‑prick dried blood spot (DBS) using the included lancets and collection card. Follow the insert or in‑app guide; collection takes ~10–15 minutes, plus ~60 minutes drying time before mailing.
Do I need to fast?
For best comparability, fast 12 hours (water only) unless your kit/instructions state otherwise.
How do I return my sample?
Use the prepaid return mailer. Drop at any postal location the same day you collect (after the card is fully dry).
What if my sample can't be processed?
If we can't process your sample (for example, under‑filled or insufficient), we'll notify you and send you a complimentary replacement kit.
How long until I see results?
Typically within 24–48 hours after our laboratory receives your sample, you'll get a secure notification to view your results in the Boomerang Kits App.
Where do I see my results?
Your results, explanations, and trend tracking live in the Boomerang Kits App with your secure login.
Is my data private?
We protect your data with strict administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Your results are encrypted, HIPAA‑compliant, and visible only to you unless you choose to share.
How often should I test?
Every 3 months when changing diet/therapy; every 6 months for maintenance.
Is this covered by insurance?
Boomerang Kits are consumer‑initiated and not typically billed to insurance. You may use HSA/FSA funds where eligible. Check with your insurance provider to confirm if your plan allows reimbursement for at‑home laboratory testing.
What other panels complement this one?
General Health Panel for full‑system context and Vitamin Panel for diet/supplement tracking.
