Blood Testing

Heart Health Test

A Heart Health Test is an expanded lipid panel that measures total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, non-HDL cholesterol and triglycerides, then calculates ratios such as total cholesterol/HDL, LDL/HDL, and molar and mass ratios to show how cholesterol is distributed across lipoproteins. Higher LDL, non-HDL or triglycerides, and higher ratios can suggest a less favourable lipid pattern over time, while higher HDL and lower ratios generally indicate more efficient cholesterol transport and clearance. These results matter because lipid balance influences blood vessel health, metabolic efficiency and long-term cardiovascular risk. A Heart Health Test is best interpreted alongside overall risk factors (blood pressure, glucose/HbA1c, smoking status, family history) and, when available, particle-based markers like ApoB and Lp(a) for a fuller picture.

Heart Health Test is available in Vively's Metabolic Essentials Panel. Get tested now for only $199 per test.

What is a Heart Health Test?

A heart health test measures how well your body moves and clears circulating fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides. This version goes beyond a standard check by including advanced lipid ratios that provide a clearer, more detailed picture of balance and efficiency.

Why does it matter for long-term health and wellbeing?

Balanced lipids support steady energy, metabolic performance, and overall vitality. The added ratios help show how efficiently your body uses and transports fats, offering deeper insight into how lifestyle choices shape long-term wellbeing.

How do I know if my heart health is optimal?

Your results are compared to population-based optimal ranges. Because this test includes both standard markers and advanced ratios, you get a more detailed understanding of where you sit and how small changes may shift your numbers over time.

What influences these results?

Food quality, fibre intake, movement, body composition, alcohol, stress, sleep, and genetics all influence lipid markers and ratios. Adjustments in these areas can produce measurable changes.

What does it mean if my results are outside the optimal range?

It signals an opportunity to improve balance and efficiency. Many people see changes through nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress habits, especially when tracked over time.

How can I support healthy heart health levels?

Focus on whole foods, healthy fats, fibre, regular exercise, strength training, quality sleep, and stress management. Testing regularly helps you see what works for your body.
