Eight biomarkers. One blood draw.
All 8 biomarkers with a short description. The laboratory reference values always lead.
Extended Heart and Vessels Complete8 biomarkers | |
|---|---|
| Total cholesterol | The total amount of cholesterol. Together with HDL and LDL this shows your lipid profile. |
| HDL cholesterol | The protective cholesterol. Transports cholesterol back to the liver. |
| LDL cholesterol | The cholesterol that can build up in the vessel wall. Higher LDL relates to higher risk. |
| Triglycerides | A fat molecule; raised with excess weight, sugar or alcohol. |
| Cholesterol/HDL ratio | The ratio between total cholesterol and HDL. Calculated from both values; often says more about your risk than a single value alone. |
| Non-HDL cholesterol | All cholesterol except HDL. Calculated from total cholesterol and HDL, and usable even when you were not fasting. |
| Lipoprotein(a) | A largely hereditary risk factor for cardiovascular disease, independent of your cholesterol. |
| Apolipoprotein B | The number of atherogenic particles; a fine-grained measure of your cardiovascular risk. |
With every result, your personal report includes an explanation from our doctor.

Do I need to fast?
Fasting is not strictly required for Lipoprotein(a) and Apolipoprotein B. If combined with a lipid panel, we do recommend fasting.
What is Lipoprotein(a)?
Lipoprotein(a) is a largely hereditary particle that can raise the risk of cardiovascular disease, independent of your cholesterol. It is usually a one-off measurement.
What does Apolipoprotein B add to cholesterol?
Apolipoprotein B counts the number of risk-bearing particles rather than only the amount of cholesterol. This can give a finer picture of your risk.
Do I combine this with the Cholesterol panel?
Yes. The Cholesterol panel gives the standard lipid picture; Extended Heart and Vessels adds hereditary and fine-grained risk. Together they form a complete cardiovascular picture.
How quickly do I receive my results?
Typically within 2 working days of blood draw.
