Evidence-based

Reducing downstream costs with diagnostic and prognostic testing
At Mayo Clinic, we know the importance of laboratory testing in a patient’s episode of care. Our unique combination of specialized laboratories and cardiology patient care clinics allows us to reduce downstream costs with care-driven testing approaches that produce definitive diagnoses. Our testing can also identify at-risk patients who require earlier intervention or increased surveillance through the most advanced techniques and technologies developed and validated in clinical practice.
Results that matter
We're dedicated to our patients' health and well-being,
and proud of the outstanding outcomes we achieve.

Clinical utility through targeted panels
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is an accurate, cost-effective method of identifying inherited variants across numerous genes known to be associated with cardiac disorders.
Novel biomarkers for cardiovascular disease
Standard cardiovascular risk factors only predict about 65% of individuals who will experience a cardiovascular event. As a result, Mayo Clinic physicians are continually investigating novel biomarkers of cardiovascular disease to find those with proven clinical utility, including plasma ceramides, soluble ST2, and Lp-PLA2 activity.
Access to Mayo Clinic expertise
The Cardiovascular Laboratory Medicine Group within Mayo Clinic works to accommodate the growing demand for development, validation, and use of analytes to predict risk for both primary and secondary prevention. Focused on acute-care cardiology, risk stratification, and genomics, the group integrates laboratory cardiology with its colleagues in cardiology, pediatric cardiology, genetics, cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, as well as cerebrovascular specialists in neurology.
Be in the know with MI-HEART ceramides
There is a better way to predict which patients are at the greatest risk and need immediate intervention for heart disease.
The latest
Mayo Clinic’s cardiac (CV) remote monitoring service uses the compact MoMe Kardia cardiac monitoring device that yields a continuous, 24/7 stream of a patient’s ECG and motion data, no matter their location. Any troubling or burgeoning events are observed virtually the moment they occur, allowing one of Mayo Clinic’s certified rhythm analysis technicians to intervene and facilitate care in near real time. And this is only the beginning; remote patient services are the way of the future, and the future is already here.
An avid runner and fitness buff, Mark Kocak didn’t think he needed medication for his high cholesterol and hypertension. After coming to Mayo Clinic for ceramide testing, Mark knew exercise alone would not be enough to him on a path toward greater longevity.
In this month's "Hot Topic," Linnea Baudhuin, Ph.D., discusses Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ up-to-date gene panel tests for cardiomyopathies and arrhythmias, connective tissue and vascular fragility disorders, dyslipidemias, and congenital heart disease.
From friendly neighbor, to a hero. Darin Kittleson was in the middle of his ordinary day snow plowing his driveway when he decided to plow his neighbor’s driveway, as well. That was when he heard the cry for help. Darin rushed inside as 911 was being called, he immediately started performing CPR, which in the end saved his neighbor’s life.
Jeffrey (Jeff) Meeusen, Ph.D., gives an overview of the new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) lipoprotein profile available through Mayo Clinic Laboratories. He discusses when this testing should be ordered, how this testing improves upon previous testing approaches, and what clinical action can be taken due to the results of this testing.
