About this test

The Cardiovascular Blood Test measures 15 biomarkers across four areas: your cholesterol balance (HDL, LDL, triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol and the cholesterol to HDL ratio), kidney function (creatinine, eGFR and urea), liver function (GGT, ALP, ALT and albumin) and thyroid hormones (TSH and free T4). The combination reflects how liver and kidney problems can add strain to the heart, and how thyroid hormone levels can also affect cardiovascular health.

We do not track a named comparison group for this specific test, but its 15 markers put it among the deepest heart health tests we track. The listing is clear about what is included, how the sample is collected and when results arrive, which is reflected in a strong clarity and documentation score. value for money is more middling: at £88 it sits above the typical cost of similarly sized heart health tests we track, so you are paying a premium for the added depth.

Results and follow-up scores well because a doctor reviews your results as standard, and the sample is processed through Numan's UKAS ISO 15189 accredited partner labs.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a single blood test that looks at cholesterol together with liver, kidney and thyroid function, rather than ordering separate tests for each. It's a reasonable next step if you already have a general interest in heart health and want a broader check than a lipid panel alone.

If you only need your cholesterol numbers, Numan's own Cholesterol Blood Test covers six lipid markers for £58, £30 less than this one.

How it works

You collect the sample at home using a finger-prick kit, or a Tasso+ upper-arm device for an extra £10 if you prefer not to prick your finger. The sample is sent to Numan's UKAS ISO 15189 accredited partner labs, with results ready within 3 to 5 days, with a doctor reviewing your results before they are returned to you.

  • Numan does not describe what the results report looks like.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score A wide heart-risk panel covering liver and kidney too
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

This 15-marker panel goes beyond a standard cholesterol check to include liver, kidney and thyroid function, giving a broader picture of what might be affecting your heart. At £88 it costs more than a narrower lipid test, reflecting the extra markers included. Results come back in 3 to 5 days and are reviewed by a doctor.
