Understanding the Cardiac Risk Blood Test

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.

What is a Cardiac Risk Blood Test?

The Cardiac Risk Blood Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to evaluate your heart health. It measures various components in your blood that can indicate your risk of heart disease. For example, it looks at cholesterol levels, triglycerides, and other markers. Understanding these results helps healthcare providers assess your overall cardiovascular health effectively. This test is especially important if you have a family history of heart issues or other risk factors.

Why is it Important?

Having a Cardiac Risk Blood Test is crucial because early detection can save lives. Many people experience heart problems without obvious symptoms. This test reveals hidden risks, allowing for proactive measures. It not only helps in identifying those at risk but also assists in managing existing conditions. Therefore, regular testing can lead to more personalized healthcare plans that can improve your quality of life.

How is the Test Performed?

You can either book a at home finger prick test kit or appointment in clinic to get your blood drawn. Both of these processes are relatively quick and involves minimal discomfort. Once the sample is collected, it's sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are usually available within a 10 working days, providing you crucial information for managing your heart health.

What biomarkers do we test?

More Information

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.

Important Information

You are required to fast 8-12 hours before your test.

You must be over 18 years old to use this test.

Heart Disease can be hereditary – do you know your risk?

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.

Excellent service

I was seen immediately on arrival and taken straight in for my procedure. The premises were clean and well maintained, and the staff were polite, professional, and very efficient.

Sophie

Results back within 24 hours

Goodbody made the whole process very easy and convenient, with straightforward booking and quick service. I received my results within few days, and my levels had improved, which was really encouraging and motivated me to keep going. It was well worth the cost.

James. S

Got the PSA results next day

I completed the PSA test with the PSE EpiSwitch Prostate Cancer test in Soho yesterday and posted my samples at Soho Square at 10:30 am. I received my PSA results the very next day—outstanding service! Despite a BRCA genetic mutation, I am happy to report that I am cancer-free. Thank you, EpiSwitch. 5 stars!

Wilson. P

Someone from Goodbody called me to put my mind ease

I recently had a full blood count taken by a very friendly nurse at Superdrug. She completed all my paperwork for me and was incredibly kind. I received my results the next day. Because of my anxiety and having never seen a lab report before, I emailed for some clarification, and to my surprise, someone from Goodbody called me to put my mind at ease. I’m very grateful for the excellent service and will definitely be using them again.

Michael. T

Understanding of my fear of needles

The nurse was incredibly helpful and understanding of my fear of needles, providing constant reassurance and guiding me through the entire process to help take my mind off what was happening.

Illy. C

Definitely recommend

The team was friendly and professional, making the experience completely painless. The clinic was easy to find, with convenient parking available nearby.

Martin. K

You’re in good hands

I visited the clinic for a private blood test and was immediately impressed by the service. They offer a wide range of services, everything feels high quality and professional, and Emma, who attended to us, was fantastic! Whatever service you book here, you can be confident you’re in very capable hands.

Robert

Top notch experience

As someone who regularly needs blood tests due to diabetes, I can honestly say this was the first time I experienced absolutely no pain at all with the needle—truly none! There was also no bruising afterward. It was a really top-notch job and made for an excellent overall experience (something I’ve never said about a blood test before!).

Ashley. P

Friendly and relaxing atmosphere

I found the staff to be friendly, approachable, and highly professional. They explained everything clearly as they carried out the blood draw. The clinic was clean and thoughtfully set up to help patients feel at ease.

Lorra. L

Polite and efficient approach

I was impressed by the company’s focus on clear communication and professionalism. The procedure was quick, well-organised, and ran smoothly with no unnecessary waiting or confusion. I especially appreciated their gentle approach and how they put me at ease, which was reassuring since it was my first blood draw at the clinic.

Simon. S

Amazing service including nurse coming

Outstanding service, including a nurse visiting my home for blood work. Full body scans through Well Man and Well Woman were arranged within three days, including additional scans and tests which i had requested. All organised within two days and delivered directly to my home. Truly convenient and efficient service!

Andrew. B

Made a dreaded blood test so much easier

I had been feeling unwell for three years and had numerous blood tests through my doctor with no clear answers. I decided to try Goodbody Clinic and ordered an at-home menopause test. The results revealed that I have a low thyroid TSH level, and I am so relieved that this issue was finally identified.

Charlie. T

Truly fantastic local service!

From start to finish, the service was exceptional. Booking the appointment was straightforward, and the entire experience was well-organized and impressively quick.

Dmitry. R

Results less than 24 hours later

Even though I arrived at the clinic a few minutes early, I was seen immediately. I received my blood test results in less than 24 hours. Truly brilliant service!
