World Heart Health Day 2025: Every Heart Matters

At Randox Health, World Heart Health Day is a vital reminder of why looking after our heart is a lifelong commitment—not just one day once a year.

Why this day matters

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. The good news is that many risks can be reduced through early detection, informed lifestyle choices, and regular monitoring—all of which form the backbone of our Everyman | Everywoman health checks.

What makes our Heart Health Panel stand out

Our Everyman | Everywoman Heart Health Panel offers a comprehensive suite of over 20 key assessments, including traditional measures like LDL and HDL‑cholesterol as well as novel markers to give you a deeper insight than standard cholesterol tests alone.

On top of that, the panel includes:

A cardiovascular risk score – projecting your 1risk of developing heart disease.
Troponin and CK‑MB biomarkers, which are sensitive indicators of heart muscle strain or injury

Spotlight: Lp(a) – the game‑changer biomarker

One of Randox Health’s most compelling additions is testing for lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a). Unlike traditional cholesterol, Lp(a) is largely genetic and independent, meaning elevated levels can significantly raise CVD risk—even when LDL levels are normal.

Lp(a) is often overlooked—but it’s estimated that up to 20% of people carry high levels of this hereditary biomarker. Measuring it enhances early detection of hidden cardiovascular risk and opens the door to tailored interventions.

Cholesterol – Why It Matters More Than Ever

High cholesterol remains one of the most important—and preventable—risk factors for heart disease. It can quietly build up in your arteries for years without symptoms, making testing essential for early intervention.

Our own Randox Health data highlights just how common raised cholesterol is:

Almost 3 in 5 samples we test show high total cholesterol (NHS guidelines).
Almost 1 in 2 samples have high non-HDL cholesterol (British Heart Foundation guidelines).
Over 3 in 5 samples reveal high LDL cholesterol—the type often called “bad” cholesterol—(British Heart Foundation guidelines).

These figures underline the importance of regular, detailed cholesterol checks. By including advanced lipid profiling within the Everyman | Everywoman programmes, we ensure you get the full picture—not just a basic reading—so action can be taken before problems develop.

What you get with Everyman | Everywoman

A thorough blood test covering heart, kidney, liver, thyroid, hormones and more—over 150 data points in total.

Why choosing a comprehensive panel matters

Traditional heart health checks typically focus on cholesterol, blood pressure, and maybe glucose. But risk doesn’t show itself so simply.
Including biomarkers like Lp(a), apolipoproteins, troponin and CK‑MB gives a much richer and earlier picture of your cardiovascular health status—and empowers more personalised care.
