An at-home blood test measuring 5 cholesterol and lipid markers, including total, HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, for people wanting a quick heart health cholesterol check.
5 biomarkers as listed by Randox Health.
The Heart Health Quickdraw Test measures 5 markers: total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and the total-cholesterol-to-HDL ratio. These are commonly used to assess cardiovascular risk factors such as high cholesterol, which the provider notes often has no symptoms, making regular testing the main way to identify it.
Against the 18 tests in its comparison group, its 5 markers sit close to the median of 6, and its price is around 6% below the £49 group median, placing it solidly in the middle of the market. Blue Horizon Medicals' Lipid Profile, at £45.25 for the same 5 markers, is almost identical in scope and price, while Monitor My Health's Total Cholesterol Test undercuts it at £29 but covers only 4 markers, and Medichecks' Heart Disease Risk Blood Test costs more at £49 for 7 markers.
Collection uses Randox Health's Tasso+ device to draw blood from the upper arm rather than a finger prick, with results back within 2 to 3 working days, supporting a solid collection convenience score. The listing also scores well for clarity and documentation, stating the markers tested, sample type and turnaround clearly, though it does not describe what the results report looks like. Results and follow-up scores low because this test is not reviewed by a doctor as standard, and trust signals remain high on Randox Health's Trustpilot rating, lab accreditation and CQC registration.
This suits people who want a quick, at-home check of their core cholesterol numbers, using an upper-arm blood draw rather than a finger prick, without needing a full general health panel. It is reasonably priced in the middle of its comparison group.
If price is the main factor and you only need total cholesterol, Monitor My Health's Total Cholesterol Test covers 4 markers for £29. If you want more markers for a similar price, London Medical Laboratory's Cholesterol Lipid Profile covers 7 for £39, and Medichecks' Heart Disease Risk Blood Test covers 7 for £49.
You collect a blood sample at home using Randox Health's Quickdraw (Tasso+) device, which draws blood from the upper arm rather than a finger prick, then post it to the lab. Results for the 5 markers are provided within 2 to 3 working days of the sample reaching the lab, and are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
Measuring 5 cholesterol and lipid markers, including total, HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and the total-to-HDL ratio, this Quickdraw blood test costs £46, close to the median for its comparison group. Several peers are priced within a few pounds either way, and results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
