Understanding Your Cholesterol and Triglycerides

A cholesterol lipid profile is one of the most important blood tests for assessing heart health. It measures key markers such as total cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoprotein, often called "bad" cholesterol), HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol), non HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. These markers provide insights into your risk of cardiovascular disease, helping you stay proactive about your health.

Why is it Important?

Extensive research has shown that imbalanced cholesterol levels—especially high LDL cholesterol and triglycerides—can significantly increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications. Regularly monitoring your lipid profile allows you and your healthcare provider to take preventive action early, whether through lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, or medical intervention.

Beyond Cholesterol—Why Monitoring Matters

While high LDL cholesterol has long been recognised as a major risk factor for heart disease, emerging research suggests that elevated triglycerides and high non-HDL cholesterol also play a critical role. Even if your total cholesterol is within a "normal" range, an unfavorable balance of LDL, HDL, and triglycerides could still increase your risk of cardiovascular problems. That’s why we recommend regular cholesterol testing that always comes with a medical opinion , so it doesnt necessarily require you to visit your NHS GP to get advice on the results.

If you have a family history of coronary heart disease you should also consider (just once) testing LP(a).

Our blood testing service offers sequential lab tracking, which means you, your GP and the doctor reporting your blood tests can track trends as well as the one off value of each test.

Take Control of Your Heart Health

Knowledge is power when it comes to preventing heart disease. Whether you choose our at-home test or our click-and-collect service (standard lab test), keeping track of your lipid levels is a vital step in maintaining your well-being. Order your test today and gain valuable insights into your cardiovascular health.
