PocDoc Heart Health Check

Are You Worried About Your Cholesterol?

32% of all global deaths annually are attributed to cardiovascular disease, but despite being one of the biggest global killers, it is a very preventable disease. A simple blood test can assess your personal cardiovascular risk, which is precisely what the PocDoc Heart Health Check provides.

The PocDoc Heart Health Check looks at 5 lipid markers via a quantitative lateral flow test. These lipid markers are:

– High density lipoprotein (HDL)

-Non-high density lipoprotein (Non-HDL)

– Triglycerides

– Total cholesterol

– Total cholesterol and HDL ratio

Take Control Of Your Health

Did you know that 1 in 8 men and 1 in 15 women die from coronary heart disease in the UK every year? More than 7 million people in the UK are living with circulatory and heart disease, and 40% of the UK population has raised levels of cholesterol.

Understanding your lipid profile and whether you are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease can help you to take a positive step towards being in control of your health. PocDoc requires a simple finger-prick blood sample that will be taken in-pharmacy during your appointment.
