Who should get ANTI PHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODY (APL) - IGM done in Indore?

Indore's renowned namkeen-and-sweets street-food culture, high in refined carbohydrate, sugar, and fried fat, combined with sedentary business and IT-sector work around Vijay Nagar and Palasia, drives high cholesterol and early cardiovascular risk. Adults above 35 in Indore , particularly those working in Annapurna, Saket Nagar, and other urban centres , should have cardiac markers tested annually even without symptoms. Smokers, people with high blood pressure, a sedentary desk job, BMI above 25, or a first-degree relative with a heart attack before 60 face elevated risk that annual testing actively manages.

What conditions can ANTI PHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODY (APL) - IGM help diagnose?
