Overview of the Heart Health Profile Test
The Heart Health Profile is a nine-marker blood test assessing cholesterol balance, inflammation and longer-term blood glucose regulation.
Cardiovascular risk is influenced by several factors rather than one Cholesterol value alone.
The profile therefore combines a detailed Lipid Profile with High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and HbA1c.
The Lipid Profile includes Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Non-HDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Total Cholesterol:HDL Ratio and HDL Percentage.
High-Sensitivity CRP provides information about low-grade systemic inflammation.
HbA1c reflects average blood Glucose exposure over approximately the previous two to three months.
The Heart Health Profile costs £79.
What Does the Heart Health Profile Test Check?
This test measures 9 biomarkers.
Total Cholesterol
Measures the overall amount of Cholesterol circulating in the blood.
HDL Cholesterol
Measures Cholesterol carried by high-density lipoproteins.
LDL Cholesterol
Measures Cholesterol carried mainly by low-density lipoproteins.
Non-HDL Cholesterol
Measures Cholesterol carried by potentially atherogenic lipoproteins other than HDL.
Triglycerides
Measures circulating blood fats influenced by diet, metabolism and other health factors.
Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio
Compares Total Cholesterol with HDL and provides additional information about lipid balance.
HDL Percentage
Shows the proportion of Total Cholesterol represented by HDL Cholesterol.
High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
Measures low concentrations of CRP and provides information about systemic inflammation and cardiovascular risk.
HbA1c
Reflects average blood Glucose exposure over approximately the previous two to three months.
Who May Benefit From the Heart Health Profile Test?
The Heart Health Profile may be useful for people wanting a focused cardiovascular and metabolic assessment.
People with a family history of cardiovascular disease - Cholesterol and inflammatory risk factors can be assessed.
People with previously raised Cholesterol - A complete Lipid Profile provides additional detail.
People with diabetes risk factors - HbA1c provides information about longer-term blood Glucose.
People with high blood pressure or metabolic risk - Cardiovascular factors often cluster together.
People making lifestyle changes to improve heart health - Repeat testing can help monitor laboratory trends.
People wanting a more complete check than Total Cholesterol alone - Nine markers are included.
How to Prepare
Do not stop statins or other prescribed cardiovascular medicines simply to obtain an untreated result unless specifically instructed.
Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Heart Health Profile Test
Cardiovascular risk factors often develop without obvious symptoms.
A strong family history of heart disease or stroke - Earlier risk-factor assessment may be appropriate.
Previously abnormal cholesterol - Repeat testing can monitor change.
Weight or metabolic concerns - HbA1c and lipid markers can provide useful information.
Known high blood pressure - Cardiovascular risk should be considered as a whole.
Smoking history - Lipid and metabolic testing can contribute to wider risk assessment.
Monitoring after diet, exercise or medication changes - Blood results can show objective trends.
The Heart Health Profile does not diagnose blocked arteries or an acute heart condition.
Chest pain, severe breathlessness, collapse or symptoms of a possible heart attack require emergency medical assessment.
How to Book Your Heart Health Profile Test
The Heart Health Profile can be booked as a focused private cardiovascular blood test.
Choose the Heart Health Profile

Select your collection
Choose in-clinic phlebotomy (+£35) or a home visit from a phlebotomist (+£60).
Attend your appointment
A trained healthcare professional collects the required blood sample.
Laboratory analysis
Lipids, hs-CRP and HbA1c are analysed.

When Will I Receive My Results?
The Heart Health Profile uses routine laboratory markers and is generally processed quickly.
A turnaround of approximately 1 working day is typical for the underlying routine lipid, HbA1c and hs-CRP markers, subject to the processing laboratory.
Understanding Your Results
The Atypical Pneumonia Screen measures antibody responses rather than directly detecting Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae or Legionella bacteria. This is important when interpreting positive and negative results.
An IgM-positive result may be compatible with a relatively recent immune response, but it does not automatically prove current active infection. IgM antibodies may take time to appear, can persist for a period after infection and can occasionally produce non-specific results.
An IgG-positive result may indicate previous exposure and can remain detectable long after an infection has resolved. In some clinical circumstances, comparison between samples taken at different times can be more informative than one isolated IgG result.
A negative antibody result does not completely exclude infection, particularly if testing was performed early in the illness before a measurable antibody response developed.
Legionella serology also requires careful clinical interpretation. When acute Legionnaires' disease is strongly suspected, urinary antigen testing, respiratory PCR or culture may sometimes be preferred depending on the clinical circumstances.
Results should be considered alongside symptoms, examination findings, duration of illness, chest imaging and any other microbiological tests. A positive result does not automatically establish the cause of pneumonia, while a negative result does not rule out every atypical respiratory infection.
