Concerned About High Cholesterol?

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 32% of all fatalities annually. The good news? It’s largely preventable. The key to understanding your cardiovascular risk lies in a comprehensive 5-marker lipid panel, which is exactly what the PocDoc Lipid Test provides.

Pop into our pharmacy and one of our team will provide a one to one healthy heart check service or buy a self-test kit to complete in the comfort of your own home.

 

PocDoc leads the way in smartphone-based rapid testing for cardiovascular, metabolic and renal disease.

• Cholesterol results include your full cholesterol profile, healthy heart age, and your 10-year risk of a heart attack or stroke.
• Only a small finger prick blood test is required for detailed heart health results, making cholesterol monitoring fast and efficient.
• Our CA-marked Healthy Heart Check has been rigorously tested with the NHS to meet international standards. Results also include NHS-recommended guidelines and the option to consult with a certified clinician.

What Does the PocDoc Lipid Test Measure?

The PocDoc Lipid Test is a cutting-edge, quantitative lateral flow test that evaluates essential biomarkers through the PocDoc app. It also includes a cardiovascular health questionnaire for a complete risk assessment.

Here’s what it tests:

• High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) – “Good” cholesterol.
• Non-HDL Cholesterol – Includes all “bad” cholesterol types.
• Triglycerides – Fats in your blood that can increase heart disease risk.
• Total Cholesterol – Overall cholesterol levels.
• Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio – A key indicator of cardiovascular health.
