Heart
What Does This Test Check?
These panels check the key markers of cardiovascular risk, chiefly cholesterol and other blood fats (lipids) that can build up in your arteries. Together they give a picture of how likely heart disease may be from your current readings.
Prices range from £49 at Medichecks to £106.20 at Thriva. MyHealthChecked charges £53 and returns results in 2 to 3 working days, the fastest listed here. Goodbody Clinic is £59, Forth £76, Numan £88, and the fuller Numan cardiovascular panel is £118.
An abnormal lipid profile may indicate higher risk, but it does not diagnose heart disease on its own, and many people with raised markers never develop problems. Treat it as a starting point and discuss the whole picture, including blood pressure and lifestyle, with your GP.
