Heart Health
Screening Dublin
Heart disease remains Ireland's leading cause of death. Auralia's Heart Health Assessment screens your lipid profile and cardiovascular risk markers — cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL and more. Results in 48 hours, no GP referral needed, from just €149.
What is the Heart Health Assessment?
The Heart Health Assessment is a private blood test in Dublin that screens your lipid profile and key cardiovascular risk markers. Cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of death in Ireland — yet many of the risk factors, including high cholesterol and elevated triglycerides, produce no symptoms at all until a serious event occurs.
This panel measures total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), triglycerides, cholesterol ratio and additional cardiovascular risk markers. Together, these provide a clear picture of your heart disease and stroke risk — enabling you and your GP to take action before problems develop.
Unlike full cardiac screening packages costing €300–€500+ at Dublin private hospitals, this focused blood test provides the core cardiovascular risk data you need at an accessible price point — with results in just 48 hours.
- Full lipid profile — total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides and ratio
- Identifies hidden cardiovascular risk before symptoms appear
- Screens for atherosclerosis risk factors linked to heart attack and stroke
- Essential for anyone with a family history of heart disease or high blood pressure
- Clear traffic-light report — GP-ready in 48 hours
Markers tested in the
Heart Health Assessment
Each marker is a clinically validated indicator of cardiovascular risk, used by GPs and cardiologists worldwide to assess and manage heart disease risk.
Measures the total amount of cholesterol in your blood — including LDL, HDL and other components. While some cholesterol is essential for cell function, elevated total cholesterol is a well-established risk factor for coronary heart disease and stroke.
Low-density lipoprotein is the primary driver of plaque buildup in arteries (atherosclerosis). High LDL directly increases risk of heart attack and stroke. It is the single most important target for cardiovascular risk reduction — and the marker most GPs focus on.
High-density lipoprotein helps remove LDL from arteries and transport it to the liver for disposal. Higher HDL is protective — low HDL is an independent risk factor for heart disease, even when total cholesterol appears normal.
A type of fat in your blood that your body uses for energy. Elevated triglycerides — often linked to excess sugar, alcohol, refined carbs and obesity — contribute to arterial hardening and significantly increase cardiovascular risk, especially when combined with high LDL.
The ratio of total cholesterol to HDL is considered a more accurate predictor of cardiovascular risk than any single cholesterol number alone. A lower ratio indicates a healthier balance and reduced risk of arterial plaque buildup.
Additional markers that provide a fuller picture of your cardiovascular health beyond standard lipids. These help your GP assess your overall risk profile and determine whether lifestyle changes, monitoring or medical intervention may be appropriate.
Who should consider a heart
health blood test in Dublin?
Cardiovascular disease often develops silently over decades. This test is designed for anyone who wants to understand their risk — before it becomes a crisis.
A parent or sibling with heart disease, heart attack, stroke or high cholesterol significantly increases your own risk.
Hypertension and high cholesterol often coexist. Knowing your lipid profile alongside blood pressure gives a complete cardiovascular picture.
Cardiovascular risk increases with age. Regular cholesterol screening is recommended from these ages even without symptoms.
Excess weight and insulin resistance are strongly linked to elevated triglycerides and LDL — key drivers of cardiovascular disease.
Smoking damages blood vessels and accelerates plaque buildup. If you smoke or have quit recently, knowing your lipid levels is essential.
If your cholesterol hasn't been tested recently, this is the easiest way to establish your baseline — no GP appointment needed.
