In the UK, many people believe that being symptom-free means being heart disease-free. Unfortunately, heart attack or stroke can occur without warning. Early blood tests, such as the Lp-PLA2 (PLAC) Cardiovascular Risk Blood Test, offer a window into your heart health before problems develop.
Don't wait for worrying signs. Proactive screening means you can make changes before irreversible damage occurs.
Lp-PLA2 measures hidden inflammation in your arteries, helping to spot problems before they cause symptoms. It complements other heart health markers, giving a deeper view of your cardiovascular risk. NHS guidance also supports checking multiple risk factors for heart disease prevention.
With Mayfield Clinic’s home Lp-PLA2 test kit, you collect a tiny blood sample at home and get results in 2 days. Alternatively, book an in-person test at one of our UK clinics.

No, heart attacks and strokes can happen in people who feel healthy. Early detection of risk factors, such as arterial inflammation, is key to prevention.
The Lp-PLA2 test gives insight into your current level of artery inflammation, helping predict risk of future events and guide lifestyle or medical interventions.
Testing every few years, or as recommended by your doctor (especially if you have risk factors or family history), is a good preventative measure.
Check artery inflammation and heart risk at home with an easy finger-prick blood test.
