We do not provide clinical interpretation — if a value is flagged or you have symptoms, discuss the report with your GP or a clinician. Medical services are for patients aged 16 and over.

Laboratory report to your secure portal
The laboratory report is released to your secure portal — typically from 24 hours; the laboratory quotes 3 working days for this test. It shows each value against the reference range and flags anything outside it; discuss the report with your GP or a clinician.
Beyond total cholesterol
Around half of heart attacks occur in people with an unremarkable standard cholesterol reading. Particle number, lipoprotein(a) and inflammation markers explain much of that gap and are all measurable from one sample.
ApoB counts atherogenic particles directly
Lipoprotein(a) is inherited and rarely tested
LDL particle size refines risk
hs-CRP shows vascular inflammation
Homocysteine links to clotting and vessel damage
HbA1c and glucose complete the metabolic picture
Who Should Take This Test?
Family history of early heart disease
Especially a parent or sibling affected before 60.
Normal cholesterol, other risk factors
Smokers, hypertensives and those with a large waist measurement.
Adults considering statins
Who want a fuller picture before deciding with their GP.
South Asian heritage
Where cardiovascular risk is higher at the same lipid levels.
Cardiovascular Screening’s place in health screening packages testing
A conventional cholesterol test reports totals. This cardiovascular screening looks at the particles themselves — apolipoprotein B, lipoprotein(a) and LDL particle size — together with high-sensitivity CRP, homocysteine and glucose control. The combination gives a clinician a considerably sharper view of arterial risk than LDL alone. Blood is taken at 22 Wimpole Street and the laboratory report is delivered to your secure portal.

What Cardiovascular Screening measures
Health screening packages combine a broad set of blood and urine tests with time for a nurse to record measurements such as blood pressure, height, weight, waist and body composition, and in some packages an ECG or other assessments. The laboratory element spans full blood count, kidney and liver function, lipids, HbA1c, thyroid, iron, vitamins and inflammation markers, with more comprehensive tiers adding hormones, tumour markers where appropriate to age and sex, and cardiovascular risk markers. Everything is reported by the laboratory against its reference ranges and delivered to your secure portal.
Who considers Cardiovascular Screening
- People often consider a health screen at a milestone birthday or when they have not had a general check for several years.
- Those with a family history of heart disease, diabetes or cancer may want a structured baseline.
- A stressful job, weight gain or a change in fitness sometimes prompts a broader look than a single blood test.
- Employers, sports bodies and some visa applications ask for a documented health assessment.
- People who already know their numbers often return annually to track change.
Preparing for your Cardiovascular Screening
- 1Fast for 10 to 12 hours with water only, and book a morning slot so this is manageable.
- 2Avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise for 48 hours beforehand so liver enzymes and muscle markers are representative.
- 3Wear loose clothing that allows blood pressure and measurements to be taken easily; bring a urine sample if requested.
- 4Bring a list of medicines, supplements and any previous results you would like compared.
Sample for this test: venous blood sample plus nurse-recorded measurements.
Understanding your Cardiovascular Screening results
The value of a screening package lies in the overview: a written report brings together measurements and laboratory results, highlights anything outside range, and explains which findings are worth acting on. Because dozens of markers are measured, a few minor deviations are expected in healthy adults and are usually put into context rather than pursued. Where a result does need follow-up — a raised HbA1c, an abnormal ECG, a low ferritin — the report says what to do next and how urgently.
A screen is a snapshot for people without specific symptoms; it is not a substitute for medical advice about a current problem, and a clear report is a snapshot rather than an assurance about future health.
