Improve Heart & Cardiovascular Health
Looking after your heart is one of the most important steps you can take for long-term wellbeing. Our cardiovascular tests go beyond basic cholesterol to assess advanced lipids, inflammation, genetic risk and arterial health - so you understand your true cardiac risk and can act early. Read our guide to reducing cholesterol through diet and lifestyle. Order online, no GP referral needed.
Do you know your true cardiac risk beyond basic cholesterol?
A basic cholesterol test only tells part of the story - and it often misses the most important predictors of heart disease. ApoB, lipoprotein(a) and LDL particle number give a far more accurate picture of cardiovascular risk than standard cholesterol alone.
The Cardiac Disease Risk Test checks 88 genes for inherited variants that raise your risk of high cholesterol, cardiomyopathy, heart rhythm disorders, aortic disease and blood clots.
Measure ApoB and ApoA1 ratio - a superior predictor of cardiovascular risk compared to standard cholesterol.
Measure LDL particle number and size — advanced lipid markers beyond a standard cholesterol panel.
Is your cholesterol actually dangerous?
Even if your cholesterol levels look “normal,” you may still be at risk. Around half of people who develop cardiac disease have ‘normal’ cholesterol - oxidised LDL and small dense LDL particles reveal risk a traditional test can miss.
Test for oxidised LDL — an advanced lipid marker increasingly included in cardiovascular assessments.
50% of people who develop cardiac disease have ‘normal’ cholesterol. A traditional LDL blood test doesn't measure small dense LDL particles, which can hide behind normal cholesterol and increase the risk of heart attack.
Beyond basic cholesterol: measures ApoB, LDL particle size, lipoprotein(a) and 21 other advanced cardiac markers.
Is inflammation affecting your cardiovascular system?
Chronic inflammation is a major driver of plaque buildup, arterial damage and heart disease - even when cholesterol looks fine. These tests measure inflammatory markers relevant to cardiovascular health. Read our guide to inflammaging and how it accelerates ageing.
Panel measuring CRP, IL-6 and homocysteine — markers commonly associated with inflammation.
Simple blood test for C-reactive protein (CRP) — a widely used marker of inflammation.
Measure homocysteine levels — a biomarker commonly included in cardiovascular and wellness assessments.
Are genetics influencing your heart disease risk?
Some heart risk is written in your DNA. Most of it comes from many small gene variations working together; the APOE and Comprehensive DNA tests look at these. A smaller number of people carry a single inherited variant with a bigger effect, such as familial hypercholesterolaemia or an inherited cardiomyopathy. Knowing early helps you and your doctor plan screening, and lets your relatives consider testing too.
The Cardiac Disease Risk Test checks 88 genes for inherited variants that raise your risk of high cholesterol, cardiomyopathy, heart rhythm disorders, aortic disease and blood clots.
Identify your APOE gene variant to assess genetic cardiovascular and cognitive health risk.
Want the most advanced assessment of your heart health and cardiac risk?
Understanding your heart health goes far beyond a standard cholesterol test. Our most comprehensive cardiac assessment combines imaging, ECG, advanced blood biomarkers and genetic risk in one blueprint. See also our longevity & healthy ageing testing for cardiovascular ageing markers.
Complete cardiac assessment combining imaging, ECG, advanced blood biomarkers and genetic cardiovascular risk analysis.
A non-invasive CT scan that measures the amount of calcium (plaque) in your coronary arteries, producing a calcium score to discuss with your doctor.
Multi-marker cardiovascular panel combining cholesterol, inflammation, homocysteine and metabolic markers.
