Heart Health Blood Test | Test Explainer

Welcome to one of our Rightangled Test Explainers.

In this video we look in more depth at our Heart Health blood test — the cardiovascular markers it assesses, including cholesterol and lipids, collected via a simple finger-prick sample and returned with a detailed report.

Cholesterol and other cardiovascular markers produce no symptoms until damage is done, which is why measuring them matters. Results are best considered alongside blood pressure, weight, smoking status and family history.

Browse our current range of home blood tests and DNA tests. All results are reviewed by our clinical team, which includes GPhC-registered independent prescribers, with medical oversight from our doctor, Dr Abdullah.
