Cholesterol testing at Mayfield Clinic Cardiff: private GP clinic delivering clear, personalised heart health assessments
Our Cholesterol Test provides a comprehensive assessment of good HDL, bad LDL, total cholesterol, and triglycerides to evaluate cardiovascular risk. A high or imbalanced lipid profile can increase the likelihood of heart disease and stroke. Under the care of our private GPs in Cardiff, we offer a concise, private-lab blood test with professional interpretation to help you understand what the results mean for you and your family.
Why it matters: by identifying lipid abnormalities early, you gain the opportunity to prevent cardiovascular disease. We can discuss your risk factors, guide you through evidence-based lifestyle changes, and determine if additional tests are needed. For convenience, you can access our broader Blood tests in Cardiff overview to understand how this test fits within our full private blood testing service.
What to expect at Mayfield Clinic Cardiff: a straightforward blood sample taken by a clinician, followed by clear interpretation of your results. If your lipid levels are outside of the target range, our GP team will outline practical steps to help you reduce risk and improve heart health, including diet, exercise, and when appropriate, medication options.
A cholesterol test measures total cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and triglycerides to assess your heart disease and stroke risk. It’s quick, usually a finger prick or a venous blood sample, and results help us tailor your care.
We tailor testing frequency to your risk factors and medical history. After your results, our private GPs can guide you on next steps, whether that’s lifestyle changes, further testing, or treatment options.
