WHAT?

At-home sample collection device for monitoring the health of your heart by determining the ratios of both good and bad types of cholesterol and triglycerides. Laboratory results are provided within 5 days.

WHY?

While our bodies need cholesterol to build healthy cells, high levels can increase risk of heart disease and stroke.

WHO & WHEN?

An unhealthy heart can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. Leading risk factors are:

  • High blood pressure
  • High low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
  • Diabetes
  • Smoking and second-hand smoke exposure
  • Obesity
  • Unhealthy diet
  • Physical inactivity

Doctors may suggest a heart health test for people experiencing the following symptoms:

  • Chest pain (poor blood flow to the heart can cause pain or discomfort in the chest)
  • Fatigue
  • Heart palpitations
  • Pain, numbness, weakness or coldness in the arms or legs
  • Shortness of breath
  • Swelling in your legs, ankles or feet

If your lifestyle includes some of the above or you have symptoms, a heart health check is a good idea.

HOW?

This sample kit contains a finger-prick blood collection device, along with clear instructions. Samples collected at home are couriered to and tested at the BioSmart accredited pathology laboratory.

Blood is tested for:

  • Total Cholesterol
  • HDL Cholesterol
  • LDL Cholesterol
  • Total Cholesterol / HDL Cholesterol Ratio
  • Triglycerides

Your heart health report will come in an easy-to-understand format with a detailed breakdown of results, what they mean and your next steps.
