Heart Health Blood Test – Neath Clinic & UK Home Kits

Our heart health blood tests measure key markers linked to cardiovascular health and inflammation, helping to assess your risk of heart disease. Choose a 15-minute in-clinic test in Neath or order a home kit for UK-wide lab analysis.

What Does the Heart Health Blood Test Measure?

Our rapid in-clinic tests can check for:

• CRP (C-reactive protein): a marker of inflammation that may indicate increased cardiovascular risk.
• hs-CRP (high-sensitivity CRP): a more precise test for subtle long-term inflammation linked to heart disease.
• NT-proBNP: a marker used to assess heart strain and early signs of heart failure.
• Cholesterol and lipids: available through our wider blood-testing service.

Why Check Heart Markers?

Heart disease remains one of the UK’s biggest health challenges. Blood tests can help identify risk early, even before symptoms appear. Testing may be suitable if you:

• Have a family history of heart disease or stroke.
• Experience chest discomfort, breathlessness or fatigue.
• Have high blood pressure, diabetes or raised cholesterol.
• Smoke or have a sedentary lifestyle.
• Want a proactive check as part of your overall wellbeing plan.

What Happens During a 15-Minute Test?

1. Check-in: we confirm your medical history and any risk factors.
2. Sample taken: a small finger-prick or venous sample.
3. Analysis: your sample is processed on our in-clinic system.
4. Results explained: our pharmacist will discuss your results and recommend next steps.
