Helfy® Cardiovascular Screen

A triad of markers for proactive heart health and arterial resilience.

Cardiovascular disease is the primary adversary of the human healthspan. This doctor-led diagnostic panel moves beyond simple cholesterol checks by integrating metabolic stability and systemic inflammation—the two silent drivers of arterial damage. By analyzing the synergy between your lipid architecture, long-term glucose levels, and inflammatory status, we provide the clinical data needed to reinforce your vascular defenses.

🔬 What We Test — And Why It Matters

Vascular Inflammation & Risk

• hs-CRP (High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein)
  A vital marker that detects low-level systemic inflammation. In longevity medicine, hs-CRP is a critical predictor of cardiovascular risk, as inflammation is the "fuel" that causes cholesterol particles to become trapped in arterial walls.

Metabolic Foundation

• HbA1c (Glycated Haemoglobin)
  This provides a 3-month average of your blood sugar levels. Elevated HbA1c (insulin resistance) directly damages the delicate lining of your blood vessels, significantly increasing the risk of vascular "inflammaging."

Lipid Architecture

• Lipid Profile (Full Suite)
  A comprehensive breakdown of Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and Triglycerides. This allows us to calculate your non-HDL cholesterol and protective ratios, identifying the specific lipid fractions influencing your heart health.

⚠️ Important Clinical Requirement

• This blood panel must be followed by a consultation with the Helfy® Clinic you are registered to.
• Without a booked clinical review, we are unable to process or release this blood test order.
• Results are not issued without appropriate medical oversight.

Vascular risk is multifactorial; our clinicians interpret these results alongside your blood pressure, age, and lifestyle markers to provide a true risk assessment.

🔐 Clinical Governance Notice

How We Protect You

• All diagnostic blood panels require a follow-up consultation with the Helfy® Clinic you are registered to
• Results are not released without clinical review
• Orders without a booked consultation cannot be processed

This is a doctor-led diagnostic pathway designed for the early detection and prevention of cardiovascular disease.

💡 Designed for people who:

This Panel Is For You If You:

• Have a family history of heart disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes
• Want a baseline for their "cardiovascular age" and systemic inflammation
• Are over 35 and prioritizing the structural health of their circulatory system
• Are optimizing their diet or training and want to ensure their internal markers are responding positively
• Prioritize arterial integrity as the foundation of their longevity strategy

🧪 How to prepare for your helfy®Test

Pre-Test Instructions

• Sample Type
  This test requires a venous blood draw performed by a qualified clinician.
• Diet
  You must fast for 10–12 hours prior to the test. Water only. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before the draw.
• Timing
  Take your sample before 10am for a standardized fasted baseline.
• Activity
  Avoid strenuous, exhaustive exercise for 48 hours prior. Intense training can temporarily elevate hs-CRP (inflammation) and shift lipid concentrations, leading to inaccurate risk assessment.
• Health Status
  Do not test if you have an active infection, cold, or flu, as this will artificially spike your inflammatory markers.
