Heart Health

An advanced look at lipid profiles, inflammation, and emerging heart health markers for proactive tracking.

$329one-off, no subscription
  • 5 tests · 8 biomarkers
  • NATA-accredited pathology
  • No GP referral needed
  • Results in 3 to 5 business days

Lipids and hs-CRP offer standard heart risk views, while ApoB, Lp(a), and homocysteine add context-dependent layers. Results support discussion or repeat testing in health practitioner care.

Fast 8-12 hours preferred for lipids and homocysteine; water is okay; Avoid vigorous morning exercise; Morning appointments help with fasting; If you feel unwell during fasting, don't continue - your health comes first

Recent illness can raise hs-CRP; consider retesting when recovered; Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior if feasible, for triglycerides; Vigorous exercise may affect some markers; plan accordingly

Health practitioners use Guideline-Backed markers like lipids and hs-CRP to inform risk discussions, often with repeats for confirmation. Context-Dependent markers like ApoB guide broader conversations, not immediate actions.

What's Being Measured

1 categories, 8 biomarkers

Apolipoprotein B

A count of the cholesterol-carrying particles that can lodge in artery walls, read against your personal heart risk.

HDL Cholesterol

The good cholesterol that clears the bad kind from your arteries, so here a higher number is the one you want.

High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP)

A marker of low-level inflammation that can add context to a broader heart-health picture.

Homocysteine

A heart-risk marker and an early sign your body may be low on certain B vitamins, ordered for specific reasons.

LDL Cholesterol

The bad cholesterol that builds up in artery walls; there is no single safe number, it is read against your other risks.

Lipoprotein (a) / Lp (a)

An inherited kind of cholesterol you are mostly born with; one test usually tells you your lifelong level.

Total Cholesterol

A single number adding up all the cholesterol in your blood, the starting point for your heart-health picture.

Triglycerides

A blood fat your body makes from spare calories; staying high over time adds to heart risk.

hs-CRP: what tracking inflammation tells you about heart risk

Chronic inflammation silently accelerates cardiovascular disease. hs-CRP is a predictive biomarker that identifies people at 2x higher risk—even with normal cholesterol—providing a window for intervention before symptoms appear.

Is a Lipid Panel Worth It?

Half of heart attacks occur in people with "normal" cholesterol. Standard lipid panels miss critical risk markers—ApoB counts the particles that actually matter, not just the cholesterol they carry.
