Heart Disease Risk Blood Test, from our experts to you.
Dr Natasha Fernando MBBS, MRCGPMedical Director

Who is most at risk for heart disease?
Everybody has a different risk of developing heart disease, based on your general health, lifestyle, and if you have a family history of the disease.
What is a heart disease risk test?
Our Heart Disease Risk Blood Test looks at important risk factors that may lead to heart disease in the future. It measures your cholesterol - specifically your ratio of HDL (good) cholesterol to LDL (bad) cholesterol.
What could my results indicate?
A high ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol (above 20%) is protective against heart disease. With this test, you'll get a measure of triglycerides (a measure of the actual fat in your blood) and CRP-hs (a marker for inflammation in the body). High LDL cholesterol coupled with inflamed arteries is thought to be a dangerous combination that can lead to deposits of plaque on artery walls.
