ADVANCED TESTING
Advanced cardiovascular testing at AFCC is used strategically to clarify hidden drivers of disease, quantify risk more precisely, and guide long term care for cardiovascular disease prevention and heart rhythm stability.
What This Evaluation Includes
Advanced Risk Profiling
- Advanced lipid and inflammation testing
- Metabolic and Insulin resistance markers
- Cardiometabolic risk testing beyond standard labs
Heart Rhythm & Heart Rate Variability Monitoring
- Heart rhythm monitoring to understand burden and triggers of irregular heart rhythm, including Atrial fibrillation
- Heart rate variability analysis to understand nervous system influence on cardiac function
- Monitoring data reviewed and interpreted by Physician
Body Composition & Cardiopulmonary Performance
- DEXA body composition analysis to assess muscle mass and visceral fat distribution
- Cardiopulmonary exercise testing for aerobic capacity and cardiovascular fitness
- Resting metabolic rate assessment when clinically indicated
Early Detection & Longevity Markers
- Early Multi-cancer screening to identify cancer signals before symptoms develop, aligned with a prevention model that addresses shared cardiometabolic and inflammatory risk
- AI assisted coronary artery imaging for early plaque detection to allow for refined personalized cardiovascular risk assessment
- Biologic age and pace of aging assessment using epigenetic markers
Environmental & Toxic Exposure Assessment
- Environmental toxins and heavy metals testing
- Gut microbiome analysis when inflammatory or metabolic drivers are suspected
- Targeted nutritional and detoxification support guided by results
Precision Nutrition & Micronutrient Assessment
- Comprehensive micronutrient and cardiometabolic nutrition testing to guide precision dietary strategy
- Advanced cardiometabolic markers beyond standard laboratory panels
- Amino acid and fatty acid profiling when clinically indicated
What To Expect From Advanced Cardiovascular Testing At AFCC
Testing is selected based on your specific goals, symptoms, and risk pattern, not by a one size fits all panel. Your evaluation may include risk profiling, rhythm and autonomic data review, cardiometabolic markers, body composition metrics, and other targeted inputs when clinically appropriate. The intent is to reduce uncertainty and clarify what is driving your risk, your symptoms, or both.
Once your results are available, they are reviewed by the physician and interpreted in a physiology first way. Rather than looking at each marker in isolation, we look for patterns across systems, including rhythm behavior, blood pressure regulation, metabolic drivers, inflammation, and recovery capacity. When you already have prior testing, we also integrate that history so that the interpretation is cohesive.
Your results are then translated into a physician-led clinical plan with clear priorities and measurable targets. The plan may include cardiometabolic optimization, blood pressure strategy, rhythm stability support when relevant, and targeted nutrition and micronutrient interventions when indicated. The goal is practical and actionable next steps, not an extensive list of findings without direction.
The focus is clarity, measurable priorities, and a plan that can be implemented and tracked.
Advanced testing when used thoughtfully brings clarity, transforms uncertainty into measurable insight and guides your next steps with greater precision.
