About this test

The Core Heart and Brain Health Profile is a five-biomarker blood test that Bluecrest positions as a joint check on heart and brain-related risk, covering inflammation, cognitive function, thyroid balance and cardiovascular performance. Bluecrest does not publish the names of the five individual markers on the listing, so you cannot see exactly what is being measured before you book.

Against the other heart health tests we track, this profile sits on the more basic end for clinical depth, in the 57th percentile by marker count, while its price of £119 is well above the £55 median for similarly sized heart tests in our data. The listing itself is only partly clear: it states the turnaround, sample type and collection method, but not the specific biomarkers or what the results report looks like.

Trust signals score well here, reflecting Bluecrest's independent review record and lab accreditation, which apply across its whole catalogue. Results and follow-up score lower because this test is not reviewed by a doctor as standard, so you interpret your own report rather than discussing it with a clinician.

Who is it for?

This suits someone who wants a single, fairly quick check spanning a mix of heart and brain markers without ordering separate tests for each area, and who does not need a doctor to talk through the results. Because the specific biomarkers are not disclosed, it is less suitable if you want to target one particular concern, such as cholesterol or thyroid function specifically; a named single-marker or dedicated panel test would tell you upfront exactly what you are being tested for. If you are experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations or memory problems, see your GP rather than relying on this test alone.

How it works

This is a blood test collected by a venous draw at a local Bluecrest venue rather than a home finger-prick kit. Once your sample reaches the lab, Bluecrest states results are typically ready in around 3 to 8 days. The report is not reviewed by a doctor as standard, so you receive your results directly rather than through a clinical consultation.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Combines five biomarkers covering heart and brain-related risk factors in a single test.
  • Only requires one venous blood draw at a local venue, no home kit needed.
  • Turnaround is stated upfront at around 3 to 8 days.
  • Open to both men and women with no stated age restriction.

Cons

  • The five biomarkers are not named on the listing, so you cannot check exactly what is measured before booking.
  • At £119, it costs more than double the £55 median for similarly sized heart health tests we track.
  • No doctor review is included as standard.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Broad wellness panel, priced above the heart-test average
Editorial confidence: 9.0/10

This £119 panel checks five markers spanning inflammation, cognitive function, thyroid balance and heart performance, but Bluecrest does not publish which specific biomarkers are included. It costs well above the median for comparable heart health tests we track, and results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
