Cholesterol Blood Test

Worried about your cholesterol? Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Over half of all adults in the UK are estimated to have high cholesterol levels that can lead to heart disease, heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular complications.

But the good news? You can take control – right now – from the comfort of your own home with the Cholesterol Blood Test from SCVC and MedicalSpace.

What is a Cholesterol Blood Test?

A medical-grade blood panel test for key cholesterol and fat markers,  with an expert report that helps you and your doctor understand your cholesterol health – and what that means for your cardiovascular risk. It includes and measures:

  • Painless, easy-to-use TAP micro technology blood sampler – no unreliable finger pricks or hypodermic needle syringes needed
  • Total Cholesterol
  • LDL (“bad”) Cholesterol
  • HDL (“good”) Cholesterol
  • Triglycerides
  • Non-HDL Cholesterol
  • A personalised clinical report from SCVC health professionals – no guesswork, just clear diagnostic analysis and guidance from clinical experts
  • Convenient Home Delivery or Click & Collect – with online ordering via MedicalSpace

Why test your cholesterol?

Even if you feel fine, you may have high cholesterol. Early warning signs often go unnoticed until serious conditions develop. This test is ideal if you are over 18* and meet any of the following criteria:

  • Have existing heart conditions
  • Have high blood pressure, diabetes, or are overweight
  • Have a family history of heart disease under 60
  • Want to improve your long-term health

Why should you care?

High cholesterol is one of the leading risk factors for:

  • Heart attack
  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Peripheral artery disease

A Cholesterol Blood Test can help detect modifiable risk factors early – and enable effective prevention.

Who can benefit from our Cholesterol Blood Test?

  • Heart patients
    If you have already developed heart disease, this test combined with our expert report will help you assess whether your LDL Cholesterol is sufficiently suppressed to prevent further heart issues developing in the future. Following NICE Guidance 2023, many heart patients’ LDL remains above the latest, more stringent targets. Everyone should know their numbers.
  • Anyone* with a family history of coronary heart disease under 60
    Especially if they have tendon thickening (xanthomas), eye Xanthelasma,  high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity. With expert reporting and clinician feedback, learn how to manage your levels through diet and lifestyle changes and when to consider medications such as statins.
  • Health-conscious adults
    Those who want to monitor and optimise their heart health – especially men and post-menopausal women, over 40.
  • Repeat testers
    Our simple and easy-to-use test and tracker allows you to track your cholesterol levels over time and check that treatment and diets are effective.
