This screening includes 11 biomarkers with results available in 3 working days, priced at £499 inclusive of blood draw by a registered nurse.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death globally. According to the British Heart Foundation, around 7.6 million people in the UK live with heart or circulatory disease. This screening measures key lipid markers including total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides, alongside advanced markers such as Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and Lipoprotein(a). ApoB is present on all atherogenic lipoprotein particles and published research suggests it may be a more informative marker of cardiovascular risk than LDL cholesterol alone.

The screening also includes high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), an inflammation marker associated with cardiovascular risk, and homocysteine, an amino acid linked to arterial health. HbA1c and fasting glucose are included to assess metabolic health, as insulin resistance and diabetes are established cardiovascular risk factors. Lipoprotein(a) is largely genetically determined and is not significantly affected by lifestyle changes, making it a useful baseline measurement.

Our South Kensington clinic offers flexible opening hours: Monday and Wednesday 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Tuesday and Thursday 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM, Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. We are a short walk from South Kensington Underground station (Piccadilly, District, and Circle lines). To book your Advanced Cardiovascular Risk Screening, call 020 7183 2362 or book online.
