Improve Heart & Cardiovascular Health
Looking after your heart is one of the most important steps you can take for long-term wellbeing. Our advanced heart health checks assess cholesterol, inflammation, genetics, arterial plaque and metabolic factors that influence your cardiovascular risk. Whether you need a standard cholesterol test, an advanced lipid panel test, a CRP blood test to check inflammation, or a full metabolic health test, these panels help you understand your true heart disease risk and take proactive steps to improve cardiovascular health. If you’ve been told you have high cholesterol, our practical guide to reducing cholesterol through diet and lifestyle is a good starting point.

Understanding your heart health goes far beyond a standard cholesterol test. Our most comprehensive heart health checks combine advanced lipid analysis, arterial imaging, inflammation markers, metabolic indicators, and genetic risk to give you a complete, science-backed picture of your cardiovascular status. These tests help you identify early warning signs, measure hidden risk factors, and take proactive steps to protect your long-term heart health. Ideal for anyone wanting a premium, all-in-one metabolic health test with deep cardiovascular insights.
A basic cholesterol test only tells part of the story — and it often misses the most important predictors of heart disease. Advanced lipid testing measures ApoB, LDL particle size, lipoprotein particle number and other biomarkers shown to more accurately reflect your real cardiac risk. These lipid panel tests uncover dangerous cholesterol patterns that remain invisible in standard blood work, helping you understand your personalised risk and what you can do to reduce it.
Chronic inflammation is a major driver of plaque buildup, arterial damage and heart disease — even when cholesterol appears normal. A CRP blood test alongside a cytokine inflammation panel can detect subtle inflammatory activity long before symptoms occur. These tests help you understand what inflammation markers in a blood test reveal about cardiovascular risk and how lifestyle, stress or infections may be affecting your heart health. Including the homocysteine blood test adds further insight into methylation and vascular integrity. For a deeper understanding of how inflammation drives long-term damage, read our article on inflammaging and how it accelerates ageing.
Even if your cholesterol levels look “normal,” you may still be at risk. Oxidised LDL and small dense LDL particles are far more likely to cause arterial plaque, inflammation and long-term cardiovascular damage. These specialised tests identify whether your cholesterol is behaving in a harmful way, giving you the information you need to customise nutrition, supplementation, and prevention strategies. This is essential testing for anyone with a family history of heart disease or unexplained symptoms.
Your DNA can significantly shape how your body handles cholesterol, inflammation and metabolic stress - all major contributors to heart disease. The APOE genotype test and broader DNA health panels uncover inherited risk factors that may influence your long-term cardiovascular health. Understanding your genetic profile empowers you to take personalised preventive steps and make targeted changes that reduce your risk over time.
