About this test

  • Fatigue or shortness of breath with exertion
  • Chest discomfort or tightness (especially during activity)
  • High blood pressure
  • Dizziness or light-headedness
  • Xanthomas (yellowish cholesterol deposits on skin or around eyes)
  • Poor circulation or cold extremities
  • Family history of early heart disease or high cholesterol
  • Weight gain or obesity
  • Erectile dysfunction (linked to vascular health)
  • Unexpected cardiovascular events (e.g. heart attack or stroke without prior symptoms)

Recommended for individuals with a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, or stroke, as well as those with high blood pressure, diabetes, or a sedentary lifestyle. Ideal for people managing weight issues, metabolic syndrome, or following up on abnormal lipid profiles. Also suitable for anyone taking a proactive approach to heart health and cardiovascular risk—especially when symptoms are absent or subtle.

  • High cholesterol (dyslipidaemia)
  • Coronary artery disease (CAD)
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) risk
  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
  • Metabolic syndrome
