Heart Health Profile.
Covers the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease in one appointment, combining a full cholesterol profile with blood sugar and inflammation markers, for a fuller picture than cholesterol alone.
More than cholesterol alone.
Cardiovascular risk depends on more than cholesterol alone. This panel combines a full cholesterol profile with HbA1c, since blood sugar control is closely linked to heart disease risk, and high sensitivity CRP, a marker of the low-grade inflammation associated with the blood vessel changes that contribute to heart disease over time.
Together, these give a fuller picture of your cardiovascular risk than a standard cholesterol test alone, and are a sensible option for anyone wanting a more complete heart health check.
Is this test right for you?
A recognised risk factor worth checking proactively.
Rather than cholesterol alone, this adds blood sugar and inflammation markers.
Useful additional context when a single cholesterol result sits in a borderline range.
