ApoB and ApoA1 Test
Find out if your 'normal' cholesterol is telling the whole story.

What it can help explain.
Your Baseline checks your cholesterol. This test takes a closer look at your heart risk, which can be high even when your cholesterol looks normal.
Hidden heart risk
ApoB can be high even when your LDL cholesterol looks fine, so it can show heart risk your cholesterol result misses.
The HDL side
ApoA1 goes with your 'good' HDL cholesterol, the kind that helps clear cholesterol away.
The ratio
How your ApoB compares with your ApoA1. A higher ratio means the risky side outweighs the protective side.
Blood sugar link
High ApoB with low ApoA1 often goes with high triglycerides and blood sugar, which your Baseline also checks.

How it works.

- We arrange your referral
A short telehealth call with a GP in our network, included. They issue your Baseline and ApoB and ApoA1 Test referrals together.
- Take your test
Go to any of 3,700+ partner collection centres, with no booking needed. Usually this test comes from the same blood draw as your Baseline.
- See your results
Results arrive in the app, next to your Baseline. After your Baseline, a 30-minute session with your dietitian builds your plan.
Before your test.
Fasting
Not needed on its own
If you take it with your Baseline, fast for 8 to 12 hours, as the Baseline is a fasting test. Water is fine.
If you're unwell
Wait until you've recovered
Illness, infection or surgery can shift these results, so test once you're well.
Medicines
Keep taking them
Statins lower ApoB, and the pill, oral HRT and alcohol raise ApoA1. Tell the GP in our network what you take.

Questions people ask us.
Can I just buy the test on its own?
No, it's for Vively members. Heart markers make more sense next to the rest of your health. Your membership includes the Baseline Health Check, a blood test covering 70+ markers, including your standard lipids, so these results sit in context, next to the rest of your health.
Why not just ask my GP?
Your GP tests what's needed to look into a symptom or manage a condition. Vively adds a 70+ marker Baseline Health Check, results read against optimal ranges, and a dietitian to help you act on them. We arrange the GP referral for you, so you don't need a separate appointment.
What if I'm already a member?
Add the ApoB and ApoA1 Test in the Vively app. You won't pay for the membership again.
Do I need to see my own GP first?
No. You still need a referral, but we arrange it. A GP in our network issues it after a short telehealth consult, together with your Baseline referral, at no extra cost.
Is this test covered by Medicare?
No. Add-on tests aren't covered by Medicare. Your Baseline Health Check is included in your membership.
Can I test ApoB on its own?
They come as one test, so you get both, plus the ratio between them, for the same price as ApoB alone.
Do I need to fast?
This test doesn't need fasting on its own. Your Baseline is a fasting test, so if you take both in the same draw, fast for 8 to 12 hours beforehand. Water is fine.
What is the ApoB/ApoA1 ratio?
It's your ApoB result divided by your ApoA1 result. ApoB shows the cholesterol that can build up in your arteries, and ApoA1 the kind that helps clear it away. A higher ratio means the build-up side outweighs the clearing side. Vively aims for a ratio below 0.7.
Is the ratio a separate test?
No. It's calculated from your ApoB and ApoA1 results, so there's nothing extra to collect.
What does a high ratio mean?
It's one part of your heart risk, read with Lp(a), blood pressure, smoking, blood glucose and family history. A GP assesses your overall risk and can advise on next steps.
