Our Cardiac Risk Blood test is a simple check to see whether you are at risk of developing heart disease. A heart disease blood test will check your cholesterol levels – both good and bad – as well as your average blood sugar (HbA1C levels) and for signs of inflammation in your body.
All together, these health issues can be signs of heart disease, and knowing your risk can save you from stroke, heart attack and sudden cardiac death.
The Cardiac Risk blood test checks your risk factors for heart disease including cholesterol, inflammation and diabetes.
If you are concerned about your current heart health, diabetes risk or just want some reassurance of your health in those areas, this test is for you.
It is also ideal for anybody wishing to monitor ongoing heart and diabetes health concerns, or with a history of heart disease or stroke in the family.
You are required to fast 8-12 hours before your test.
Discuss your results with a qualified, registered GP at a time that is convenient to you. Simply pay for a GP Consultation when you check out today and we will send you the details of how to arrange your video call – appointments available every day, 8am-8pm.
Don’t wait weeks to see your GP – our service gives you answers and reassurance when you want them.
*Prescription charges may apply depending on your NHS eligibility
It is believed that between 40% – 60% of cardiac diseases are passed on genetically from parent to child.
A simple saliva home test kit can determine your genetic risk of developing heart diseases, which can lead to stroke, heart attack and even sudden cardiac death. Knowing your risk means you can take steps to monitor your health, improve your diet or lifestyle, and start regular screening with your local hospital.
Remember – if you have a genetic predisposition to heart disease, your children have a 50% chance of it too.
Our most advanced Genetic Home Test Kit checks your risk of developing FOUR different cardiac diseases, PLUS 8 types of cancers commonly passed down through DNA.

Biomarkers included
Inflammation
We check for 1 Inflammation marker:
High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
Inflammation typically occurs when your immune system tries to remove infections or antibodies from your body, with symptoms including swelling, redness, pain and heat.
Acute inflammation is usually short term and triggered by an injury or infection. Chronic inflammation lasts for longer periods and can be caused by conditions such as asthma, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, or long term exposure to irritants such as pollution.
Ongoing inflammation can cause the body to start fighting healthy cells as well as damaged ones, leading to increased risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, asthma and more. On a day-to-day basis this can cause fatigue, rashes, chest or abdominal pain, sores and fevers.
Our test can identify whether there is inflammation in the body which can lead to damaged blood vessels and potentially a heart attack or stroke.
Biomarkers included
Diabetes
We check for 1 Diabetes marker:
HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemaglobin)
Type 2 diabetes is a highly prevalent disease and comes with life changing side effects such as damage to your nerves, heart disease, stroke, vision loss, foot problems, miscarriage and kidney problems.
Up to 33% of people in the UK live with prediabetes, when the blood sugar level is higher than normal but not enough for a Diabetes diagnosis, putting them at high risk of developing full Type 2 diabetes.
Blood tests can check your blood glucose levels to understand the average level of sugar in your blood over the past 3 months and determine whether you may have or be at risk of having diabetes or prediabetes.
Biomarkers included
Cholesterol
We check for 6 Cholesterol markers:
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
Non HDL Cholesterol
Total Cholesterol
Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio
Triglyceride
Cholesterol plays an important role in the general function of the body, however too much can increase your risk of stroke or heart attack. Blood tests to check your levels of good or bad cholesterol can check levels within the blood and identify risks to your health.
For example, LDL cholesterol can lead to fatty deposits inside your arteries causing heart disease, heart attack and stroke, whilst the HDL molecule transports cholesterol and fatty deposits out of the blood stream to the liver, to be broken down and removed – meaning you should be aiming for low LDL and high HDL overall.
Having high cholesterol produces no initial symptoms so the only way to check your health is with a blood test. Cholesterol levels can be easily lowered by stopping smoking, improving your diet, doing more physical activity - but you need to know your levels first.
