An integral part of heart-heart diagnostics (HHD), the lipase test is known for its wider applications in systemic health monitoring, while it is predominantly utilized to assess pancreatic health. An enzyme called lipase is essential for converting dietary lipids into fatty acids and glycerol during digestion. Since the pancreas is the organ that produces the majority of it, elevated blood levels may be a sign of pancreatic inflammation, injury, or other problems including pancreatitis.
Monitoring lipase levels can be useful in the context of cardiac diagnostics, not just for gastrointestinal health but also for its potential indirect influence on cardiovascular risk. Increased lipase levels have the potential to impact lipid metabolism and, in turn, the lipid profiles that are essential for the management of cardiovascular disease. Consequently, the lipase
