There are a number of very important indicators that can help you assess the risk to your heart's health. This test analyses 8 essential biomarkers.
Early diagnosis is vital for giving the best clinical outcomes. Regular monitoring means you can make real decisions to improve your heart's health.
This test analyses 8 key biomarkers:
Total cholesterol
HDL ('good' high density lipoproteins)
LDL ('bad' low density lipoproteins)
HDL ratio
Non HDL cholesterol
Triglycerides
Inflammation (C-Rreative Protein)
Diabetes (HbA1c)
A kit containing everything you need is sent to an address of your choice.
You can then take a simple finger prick sample, using the lancets provided and collect the drops into the tube. You then register it on-line and post it off to the laboratory using the Royal Mail 1st Class Tracked envelope that is included with your kit.
Your full report, showing your results and how they compare with the normal reference ranges, are reported back to you by email. You will receive your result the day after the lab receives your sample.
All test results are reviewed by the in-house GPs who highlight any areas of concern of that might need further investigation and follow up with a doctor.

Anyone who wants to find out how healthy their heart is.
Knowing your cholesterol and HbAc levels which are strongly associated with cardiovascular disease, can tell you a lot about your heart health.
Your heart health can be improved through lifestyle changes such as healthy eating, daily exercise, weight loss and stopping smoking.
Regular heart health screenings are also generally recommended if you have high blood pressure.
High levels of cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease because it can lead to fatty deposits which build up in the walls of your arteries. These can gradually grow and make it increasingly difficult for blood to flow through your blood vessels, putting increased pressure on your heart.
High levels of triglycerides may contribute to arteriosclerosis, which is the hardening or thivckining of the artery wall.
High cholesterol can be caused by unhealthy lifestyle choices, but can also be genetic. Quite often it is possible to reduce cholesterol levels with healthier lifestyle choices, but there are simple and effective medications, such as statins, available too.
Having diabetes means that there are often high levels of glucose in your blood which can damage blood vessels. It can also cause damage to your nerves which control your heart.
People with diabetes are also more likely to have other conditions that can raise the risk of heart disease, such as hypertension, or high blood pressure. This can cause damage to your artery walls as the blood is pushed through with such increased force.
People with diabetes are 2 to 4 times as likely to develeop cardiovascular disease.
C-reactive protein (or CRP) is a protein your body naturally makes when something is becoming inflammed.
A raised CRP level may relate to inflamed arteries but can also be caused by an infection or illness so it is important to look at this in combination with your other test results.
There are recent studies evidencing that people with elevated levels of C-reactive protein had a three-times greater risk of having a heart attack.
