Compare the best heart & cholesterol tests available in United Kingdom. 69 tests reviewed.
Cheapest in its group, with typical marker depth
A 10-marker blood test combining standard cholesterol with apolipoproteins A1 and B. It suits anyone wanting a fuller cardiovascular risk picture than a basic lipid test.
Broad 21-marker check across heart, liver and kidneys
A 21-marker blood test covering cholesterol and apolipoproteins, blood sugar, inflammation, liver and kidney health. It suits anyone wanting a fuller cardiovascular risk picture than standard cholesterol alone.
Ties for the most markers in its group, priced mid-pack
A seven-marker lipid profile covering total, HDL, LDL and non-HDL cholesterol plus triglycerides. It suits anyone monitoring their cholesterol as part of general heart health.
Full 7-marker lipid panel, priced above cheaper peers
A 7-marker cholesterol and lipid panel covering total, HDL, LDL and non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and cholesterol ratios, for anyone tracking heart disease risk factors.
Lp(a) test priced above Thriva's own cheaper lipid panel
Measures Lipoprotein(a), apolipoproteins and a full cholesterol panel to give a fuller picture of inherited cardiovascular risk. Suits people with a family history of early heart disease.
Widest lipid panel in its group, priced at the median
Checks seven markers of cholesterol and inflammation, including hs-CRP, to give an at-a-glance view of cardiovascular risk factors. Suits anyone with a family history of heart disease or general cholesterol concerns.
Below-median price for a 6-marker cholesterol panel
Checks HDL, LDL, non-HDL and total cholesterol, your cholesterol ratio and triglycerides from a blood sample, giving a picture of heart disease risk factors. Suits anyone wanting a baseline check or tracking cholesterol over time.
Full 7-marker lipid panel below the group's median price
A blood test covering total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides and the ratios between them, giving a full picture of your cholesterol status. Suits anyone who wants a complete lipid check rather than a single total cholesterol reading.
Heart-framed version of Numan's 20-marker panel
A 20-marker blood test built around heart health, covering cholesterol, kidney and liver function, blood sugar and vitamin status. Uses the same panel as several other Numan tests, just framed around cardiovascular risk.
Cheapest Lipoprotein(a) test in its comparison group
Measures Lipoprotein(a), a genetic marker for cardiovascular risk not picked up by standard cholesterol tests. Suits people with a family history of heart disease who want a more detailed look at their risk factors.
Mid-priced Lp(a) test, between Medichecks and Bluecrest
A single Lp(a) blood test measuring a largely genetically determined cholesterol-like particle linked to heart disease risk, recommended by some guidelines as a once-in-a-lifetime check for adults.
A wide heart-risk panel covering liver and kidney too
Checks your cholesterol balance alongside liver, kidney and thyroid markers that can influence heart health, using an at-home blood sample. Suits anyone who wants a wider view of heart risk factors than a cholesterol check alone provides.
