Cardiovascular Screen – Blood Test in London

The Cardiovascular Screen (NW-09) is a comprehensive heart health blood test designed to assess key risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease. This advanced profile evaluates cholesterol levels, inflammation markers, blood sugar control, kidney function, and other important cardiovascular health indicators that can affect heart and blood vessel health. Ideal for preventive screening, early risk assessment, and long-term health monitoring, this test helps support proactive heart care and healthy ageing. Available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with results typically available within 5 days.

Preventive Heart Care

Cardiovascular Screen

Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of illness worldwide. Risk factors such as high cholesterol, inflammation, poor blood sugar control, and kidney dysfunction can silently damage blood vessels and the heart. This comprehensive profile (NW-09) empowers you to identify these risks early, allowing you to take proactive steps toward maintaining your heart health and improving longevity.

Why Choose This Test?

Symptom & Risk Management

This profile is particularly suited if you are:

  • Managing hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol
  • Experiencing fatigue or chest discomfort
  • Dealing with shortness of breath or sudden swelling
  • Monitoring treatments aimed at improving heart health

Comprehensive Biomarkers

It evaluates multiple key systems linked to metabolic health:

  • Comprehensive Lipid Panel & Lipoprotein (a)
  • Blood sugar control (HbA1c)
  • Kidney function (Urea, Creatinine, Uric Acid)
  • High-sensitivity inflammation detection (hsCRP)

Proactive Prevention

This test is an ideal baseline assessment for individuals:

  • Over 40 seeking a detailed heart health check
  • With a personal or family history of heart disease
  • Leading high-stress or sedentary lifestyles
  • Starting a new diet, lifestyle, or exercise programme

Your Appointment Day

Important: Fasting is required for 8 to 12 hours before your blood draw. You may drink plain water, but refrain from food or other beverages to ensure accurate lipid and blood sugar readings.

Upon arrival at Medical Diagnosis Victoria, please check in at reception. A qualified phlebotomist will take a small blood sample from your arm. The process is simple and usually takes only a few minutes. While walk-ins are welcome, booking a slot online ensures priority service.

Component Index

What Is Included?

This profile evaluates multiple key markers linked to cardiovascular and metabolic health to guide targeted preventive strategies.

Lipid Profile & Genetic Risk

A comprehensive evaluation of fat levels in your blood, along with a key genetic marker that increases heart disease risk independently of traditional cholesterol.

Cholesterol Total
HDL Cholesterol
LDL-Cholesterol
Triglycerides
Non-HDL
CHOL RISK FACTOR
Lipoprotein (a)
Clinical focus:
Identifying plaque-building lipids and calculating your overall risk factor for atherosclerosis.

Blood Sugar & Kidney Health

Kidney function is closely tied to cardiovascular risk. This panel also evaluates long-term blood glucose control and metabolic byproducts.

Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)
Urea
Creatinine
Uric Acid
Clinical focus:
Detecting pre-diabetes, monitoring kidney filtration capability, and assessing metabolic inflammation risk.

Inflammation & Blood Health

Detects low-grade systemic inflammation linked to cardiovascular disease and assesses overall red and white blood cell health.

hsCRP (High-Sensitivity)
Full Blood Count (FBC) + Diff
Clinical focus:
Measuring vascular inflammation to predict cardiac events, alongside identifying underlying anaemia or infections.

Understanding the Combined Approach

Heart health is multi-factorial. Traditional cholesterol testing alone does not tell the whole story. By evaluating hsCRP (which detects dangerous arterial inflammation) alongside kidney function, long-term blood sugar levels (HbA1c), and the genetic marker Lipoprotein (a), this profile creates a highly accurate baseline of your overall cardiovascular risk, empowering you to take meaningful, targeted action.

Pathology Reports

How To Read Your Laboratory Results

Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range, it is noted for review. Important: A single out-of-range value does not automatically indicate a medical problem. Results must be assessed in conjunction with your medical history and clinical examination.

Results Timeline: Profile metrics are typically available within 5 days. Once your results are ready, they will be securely shared with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before the test?
Yes, strict fasting for 8 to 12 hours is required before your blood draw to ensure accurate lipid and blood sugar readings. You may drink plain water.
How quickly will I get my results?
Your comprehensive cardiovascular results will be processed and securely delivered within 5 days of sample collection.
Can I walk in, or do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome at the clinic, but booking a slot online is highly recommended to ensure priority service and accommodate your fasting schedule.
What should I do if my results indicate a high risk?
If your cardiovascular markers are outside the healthy reference range, we strongly recommend booking a Private GP consultation with us to review them and form a plan.
Is the phlebotomy fee included in the price?
No, the £21 phlebotomy service fee is separate and payable directly at the clinic.
Will my results be sent securely?
Yes, your laboratory results will be delivered securely and privately to the email address provided.
Do I need a doctor’s referral for this profile?
No referral is needed. You can book this test independently to proactively investigate your cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Who should consider taking this test?
It is highly recommended for individuals over 40, those with a family history of heart disease or diabetes, and anyone seeking to manage known risks like high blood pressure.

Most Searched Online Questions About Cardiovascular Health

What are early signs of cardiovascular disease?
Early stages often have no symptoms at all, which is why screening is crucial. Later signs can include chest discomfort, unusual fatigue, or shortness of breath.
Why is fasting required for a lipid profile?
Recent meals can temporarily spike levels of triglycerides and blood sugar in your system, leading to inaccurate baseline measurements of your true risk factors.
What does high hsCRP mean for my heart?
High-sensitivity CRP detects low-grade inflammation in the blood vessels. Elevated levels are strongly linked to an increased risk of atherosclerosis and future heart attacks.
How can I lower my cholesterol?
Often through a combination of lifestyle changes like a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, weight management, and in some cases, prescribed medication from your doctor.
What is Lipoprotein (a)?
Lipoprotein (a) is a specific type of cholesterol particle that is primarily determined by your genetics. High levels can independently increase your risk of heart disease.
