How much does CK (MB Fraction) cost at Wimpole Street?

£58 — the standard price that applies to everyone. There is no discounted members’ tier at Wimpole Street and nothing to join. Where a venous draw is needed, a phlebotomy fee is shown on the page before you book and is charged once per visit however many tests are taken.

Is a troponin blood test a way to check for a heart attack?

Not in a clinic setting. Troponin is used in hospital, timed against the onset of symptoms, to assess suspected heart attack. Anyone with current chest pain should call 999 rather than book a test. Routine troponin measurement is only useful as a baseline in people without symptoms.

What does NT-proBNP tell me?

It is a peptide released when heart muscle is stretched. A low value makes significant heart failure less likely; a raised value can indicate strain and warrants further assessment, usually with an echocardiogram arranged through your usual clinical care.

How long do cardiovascular profile results take?

Lipids, glucose, kidney markers and CRP are typically reported within 24 hours of reaching the laboratory. NT-proBNP, Lp-PLA2 and homocysteine often take a few days. The whole profile is released to your secure portal once complete.

Are cardiovascular risk tests suitable for someone under 16?

Medical services at Wimpole Street are for patients aged 16 and over. Children with cardiac symptoms need to be seen through their NHS GP or, if acute, via 999 or NHS 111.

Will these tests tell me my risk percentage?

Blood results are one input to risk calculators such as QRISK, which also need blood pressure, smoking status and other details. Your GP or a clinician can describe how your markers are likely to influence that estimate; a formal calculation is done during clinical assessment.

What CK (MB Fraction) measures

The catalogue tags the CK (MB Fraction) with creatine Kinase, heart Enzyme Test and myocardial Infarction. Those terms describe the territory the test covers; the notes below explain what a cardiovascular risk markers result can and cannot tell you.

Beyond cholesterol, a set of blood markers helps to describe the state of the heart and circulation. High-sensitivity CRP and Lp-PLA2 reflect inflammation within artery walls; NT-proBNP rises when the heart muscle is under strain; troponin indicates recent injury to heart muscle; homocysteine is an amino acid linked to vascular damage. Chest pain and cardiovascular profiles bundle several of these with lipids, glucose and kidney function.

Preparing for your CK (MB Fraction)

1Fast for 10 to 12 hours if lipids or glucose are included; the inflammation and heart-strain markers themselves do not require it.
2Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours before, since it can raise troponin and CRP in healthy people.
3Postpone the test if you have a cold or another acute illness, which lifts CRP for a week or more.

Sample for this test: venous blood sample (serum).

Who considers CK (MB Fraction)

People often consider these markers if they have a strong family history of heart disease and want more detail than a lipid profile alone.
Breathlessness on exertion or swollen ankles may prompt an NT-proBNP check as a first look at heart strain.
Those with high blood pressure, diabetes or a smoking history frequently seek a fuller risk picture.
Some people have a cardiovascular profile before beginning an intensive training programme.
A previous cardiac event, or a stent, is a common reason to monitor.

Understanding your CK (MB Fraction) results

A raised NT-proBNP can indicate that the heart is working harder than it should and usually prompts a clinical review and often an echocardiogram. High-sensitivity CRP adds to risk estimates when it is persistently elevated in the absence of infection. Troponin measured in a routine setting is expected to be low; any rise is treated seriously and flagged for prompt assessment.

These markers refine an estimate of risk; none of them confirms or excludes heart disease on its own, and interpretation depends on your symptoms and history.

If you have chest pain, pressure or tightness now, particularly with breathlessness, sweating or pain spreading to the arm or jaw, call 999. Blood tests are not the right route for acute symptoms.
