Cardiac Risk Profile
What the Cardiac Risk Profile checks
The Cardiac Risk Profile is a broader heart health blood test that reviews cholesterol, blood fat, apolipoprotein and inflammation-related markers. These markers can support a more detailed discussion about cardiovascular risk than a standard cholesterol test alone.
This profile may be useful if you have a family history of heart disease, are monitoring cholesterol, reviewing lifestyle changes, or want a wider set of markers to discuss with a healthcare professional.
Marker groups included
Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-HDL cholesterol and triglycerides
Apolipoprotein and lipoprotein markers
Inflammation and cardiovascular risk-related markers
Sample type and turnaround
This is a blood sample test. Most Leicester clinic results are available within 1 to 2 working days, and UK partner clinic results are typically available within 2 to 4 working days. Some specialised markers can take longer depending on laboratory processing.

Important information
Cardiac risk depends on many factors including age, blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, family history, symptoms and medication. Discuss abnormal results or chest pain symptoms with a qualified healthcare professional. Seek urgent medical help for chest pain, breathlessness, collapse or stroke-like symptoms.
