Using our rapid, in-clinic analyser, we will test a small sample of blood from your finger to check your Cholesterol levels. We will also analyse your height, weight, BMI, smoking status, exercise levels, blood pressure and family history to give you a full picture of your general health.
From your results, you can see whether you are at increased risk of health problems such as Heart Disease, Stroke, Vascular Dementia and more.
You will be provided with a record of your results so that you can see if they change over time, with repeat tests recommended at least once per year.
You are required to fast 8-12 hours before your test.
This is a limited time offer, available only at Goodbody Bath Practice (BA1 2AP).

We check for 6 Cholesterol markers:

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.
Biomarkers included
Blood Pressure
We check for 1 Blood Pressure marker:
Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, or hypertension, rarely has noticeable symptoms but if left untreated can cause heart failure, strokes and heart attacks.
Meanwhile low blood pressure, or hypotension, can cause frequent dizziness, fatigue, confusion and feeling weak. Fainting can be common, which could cause you to fall or trip, leading to more damage such as head injuries or bone fractures, especially in older people.
Biomarkers included
Body Mass Index
We check for 3 Body Mass Index markers:
BMI
Height
Weight
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy.
For most adults, an ideal BMI is in the 18.5 to 24.9 range.
BMI takes into account natural variations in body shape, giving a healthy weight range for a particular height.
As well as measuring your BMI, healthcare professionals may take other factors into account when assessing if you're a healthy weight.
Muscle is much denser than fat, so very muscular people, such as rugby players, weight trainers and athletes, may be a healthy weight even though their BMI is classed as obese.
Biomarkers included
Heart Disease Risk
We check for 1 Heart Disease Risk marker:
Heart Disease Risk
Using data from your appointment, we will provide you with a Heart Disease Risk score, showing your likelihood of developing cardiac health problems over the next 10 years.
