PocDoc Healthy Heart Blood Test

Our hearts play a vital role in circulating blood throughout the body, carrying oxygen and nutrients to cells as well as removing carbon dioxide and waste. Good heart health is crucial for overall well-being and quality of life.

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. High cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular conditions. PocDoc will allow you to identify any cholesterol imbalances early and make diet/lifestyle changes accordingly to reduce the risk of these conditions.

Those who are overweight, consume alcohol, smoke, have a family history of heart disease and lead an inactive lifestyle are at higher risk and should get tested. Symptoms of heart issues can vary but may include:

• Chest pains
• Shortness of breath
• Irregular heartbeat
• Extreme fatigue

It should be noted that anyone can have high cholesterol due to genetics or lifestyle and can often display no symptoms. Therefore, PocDoc heart health tests are recommended to check your cholesterol levels even if you are young, fit and healthy.

PocDoc helps you understand your heart health conveniently from the comfort of your home in under 10 minutes. Simply follow the instructions to take the test and access your results on the app. If your results show an imbalance, we advise you seek advice from our GP or pharmacist.
