PocDoc Heart Health Check

Are you concerned about having high cholesterol?

Cardiovascular disease is the single biggest killer globally, with 32% of all deaths every year attributed to this preventable disease. The key blood test to assess your cardiovascular risk is a 5 marker lipid panel, which is which what the PocDoc Lipid Test provides.

The PocDoc Lipid test is a quantitative lateral flow test that tests for the following biomarkers via the PocDoc app, alongside providing a cardiovascular health questionnaire:

  • High density lipoprotein (HDL)
  • Non-HDL
  • Triglycerides
  • Total cholesterol
  • Total cholesterol : HDL ration
