IGP Level Checks are a range of health screen and individual blood tests carefully selected by our iGP Clinicians. The tests provide easy access to low-cost testing of your key biomarkers to help manage, maintain and improve your health. Our heart health level check is a low-cost blood test that measures a range of key bio markers which indicate the health of your heart (cardio vascular system).
Important: Suitable for those over 18 years of age.
If you are looking for more comprehensive heart screening with a cardiologist, IGP's Heart Hub is a collection of cardiology services to examine, maintain and improve the health of your heart. If you have an existing heart condition, are concerned about new symptoms or simply just want a check up, IGP Heart Hub is here for you.
Simply book your appointment online or by contacting us directly. At the time of booking, you will be emailed a pre-appointment questionnaire, which you can complete online. You will then visit an iGP clinic for your blood test (and physical examination if appropriate). Suitable for those over 18 years of age.

Whether you're experiencing the symptoms of cardiovascular disease or you're worried that you're genetically predisposed to heart problems, a heart health blood test can put your mind at ease.
A quick, relatively painless procedure can tell you whether or not you?re experiencing or likely to develop a cardiovascular condition. We will send your sample to our laboratory for an express analysis before giving you the results ? usually within a few days.
When we perform a cardiovascular function blood test, we?re looking for a number of markers that might suggest a problem. If your marker levels are abnormal, we may suggest further tests or a thorough investigation. The markers we test for include:
Total cholesterol
LDL cholesterol levels
HDL cholesterol
Triglycerides
High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP)
One of our experienced doctors or phlebotomists will assess your marker levels in detail. And we'll aim to complete the tests and deliver our feedback within just a few days of your blood test appointment.
