Who should get Anti Phospholipid Antibody (apl) - IgG done in Nagpur?

Cardiovascular risk is rising in Nagpur, driven by an oil- and sugar-rich central-Indian diet, sedentary government- and trade-sector work around Civil Lines, Dharampeth, and Sadar, and increasing stress. Early cholesterol and blood-pressure screening is valuable from the mid-30s. Regular cardiac testing is recommended for patients on statin therapy (to confirm LDL has reached the treatment target), post-cardiac event patients (to monitor secondary prevention), people with type 2 diabetes (which doubles cardiovascular risk), and anyone with persistently elevated blood pressure.
