	Cholesterol Testing Because there is often a strong correlation between elevated levels of blood cholesterol  and heart disease, most healthcare providers consider cholesterol blood testing an  extremely valuable diagnostic tool.   Cholesterol is associated with a group of fattysubstances called lipids that move through the bloodstream attached to proteins. When the lipid and the protein join, they become a molecule called a lipoprotein. Cholesterol is associated with different lipoproteins,all of which have different effects on cardiovascular health. A high level of bad cholesterol and other blood lipids is most often associated with  arteriosclerosis, the  buildup of fatty deposits on arterial walls that often leads to heart attacks. Coronary artery disease is also associated with a high blood cholesterol  reading.
	Measuring holesterol actually involves three blood Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL cholesterol (also called "bad" cholesterol) High density lipoprotein, or HDL cholesterol (also called "good" cholesterol) Triglycerides. In evaluating a person's cholesterol, triglycerides and the ratio of total cholesterol  to HDL cholesterol is necessary.

               Most doctors consider that:

        

•                 A total cholesterol level of 180 or above is high and they usually monitor patients with these carefully using regular testing and therapy.
•             A reading of 160 to 180 is considered borderline, or high if other cardiac risk factors, like a family history of heart disease, are present. And a reading below 160 is low and therefore desirable.

High cholesterol levels usually occur in mid life, but abnormally high cholesterol levels can occur in any age group, even in infants, if blood lipid abnormally runs in the family. If you are concerned about your risk for heart disease, ask your doctor to check cholesterol level; and if your cholesterol level is too high for good health, ask to recommend a diet and exercise program that will help bring your cholesterol level down.

The Heart check goes easy way

 

Are you one among them who have tried a lot for seeking an appointment with your cardiologist, for heart check. Gone are those days, with a new device yet to hit markets soon, you are going to save money as well time associated with the heart check.

 

 

Indian Scientist Dr Ravi Mehrotra, of  CSIR-NPL (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, National Physical Laboratory), and thirty of his students at CSIR-NPL had invented a device that lets you get your heart checked in ten minutes. It fits into the palm of your  hand.

He says, "It is a full 12 lead device. It measures simultaneously all the 12 signals that a doctor needs. The software saves patient information and the final ECG. Records can be emailed and shared with experts."

 

How it works ?

Maximum time taken is 10 Minutes for the heart check.

 

Technicians at your local clinic will wire you up, with leads on your limbs and chest. Your body’s electrical signals will flow first into a box called HeartTrace and then, into a computer and ECG will be ready in seconds.

It’s as quick and hassle-free as a simple blood test. The estimated price is around Rs 10,000 -15,000/-

 

 
The reason it is so cheap, is technology. HeartTrace has no moving parts inside - just a printed circuit board. But burned into those circuits, is special software Dr Mehrotra wrote himself.

Affordable pricing :

Being, affordable pricing the device can easly get its presence across India ,even in smaller villages and towns. With its price one can get a brandable SMART PHONE.

 

This heart check device certainly going to bring a great change in the health sector of India. Main USP being is its time taken for a test is very minimal besides the cost. Further, most of us have a phobia ,being visited to large corporate hospitals. This can be overcome as you can have a smiliar ECG report from the heart check device by visiting your local hospital or family doctor.
