What is the Cardio Profile Basic?

The Cardio Profile Basic is a blood test specifically designed to provide insight into your cardiovascular health. This test combines three essential determinations that together offer a powerful picture of your risk of cardiovascular diseases, arteriosclerosis, and metabolic problems. The examination is suitable for anyone who wishes to preventively monitor their heart health, as well as for people with known risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, overweight, or a family predisposition.

What is tested?

  • Total Cholesterol: Measures the total amount of cholesterol in the blood
  • HDL Cholesterol (good cholesterol): Helps remove excess cholesterol from blood vessels
  • LDL Cholesterol (bad cholesterol): Can lead to arteriosclerosis at high levels
  • Triglycerides: Fats in the blood; elevated levels increase cardiovascular risk
  • HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c): Average blood sugar level over the past 8-12 weeks
  • hs-CRP (High Sensitive C-Reactive Protein): Marker for low-grade inflammation in the body

Why should you get the Cardio Profile Basic?

This blood test is used to better understand the risk of cardiovascular diseases and to intervene early where necessary. This test is particularly recommended for:

  • Family history of cardiovascular diseases: Hereditary predisposition to cardiovascular problems
  • Unhealthy lifestyle: Smoking, lack of exercise, unhealthy diet
  • Overweight or obesity: Increased risk of metabolic problems
  • Diabetes or elevated blood sugar: Important risk factor for heart problems
  • High blood pressure: Strain on the heart and blood vessels
  • Preventive screening: Proactively monitoring your health

This combination of measurements creates a complete picture of your cardiovascular risk profile – essential for timely lifestyle or medicinal interventions.

What does it indicate?

The results provide insight into three crucial aspects of your heart health:

  • Lipid profile – The balance between good and bad cholesterol and fats in the blood. An disturbed balance increases the risk of arteriosclerosis and heart disease
  • HbA1c – Long-term blood sugar regulation. Elevated values indicate (pre)diabetes, a significant risk factor for heart problems
  • hs-CRP – Chronic inflammation plays a key role in the development and worsening of cardiovascular diseases

Together, these three markers provide a complete picture of your cardiovascular health and help to accurately assess your risk.

What do abnormal values mean?

The interpretation of the results depends on your age, lifestyle, and health:

  • Elevated LDL or triglycerides + low HDL: Indicates an increased risk of arteriosclerosis and heart disease. Normal values suggest healthy fat metabolism
  • Elevated HbA1c: Indicates chronically elevated blood sugar, with increased cardiovascular risk. May point to (pre)diabetes
  • Elevated hs-CRP: May indicate inflammatory processes in the body and increases the chance of cardiovascular diseases
  • Combination of abnormalities: Multiple abnormal values strengthen each other's effect and often require active intervention

When is this test performed?

The Cardio Profile Basic is recommended in the following situations:

  • Preventive screening for cardiovascular diseases
  • Monitoring cholesterol or blood sugar
  • Detection of low-grade inflammation
  • In cases of high blood pressure, overweight, or diabetes
  • Lifestyle change or diet monitoring
  • Follow-up for known heart conditions or risk profile

Regular testing of these markers helps to adjust in time and reduce serious health risks.

  • Cholesterol totaal
  • HDL-cholesterol
  • LDL-cholesterol
  • Triglyceriden
  • HbA1c
  • hs-CRP

Strong scientific evidence

This test is included in Dutch healthcare guidelines and is regularly used for its respective indications.

Rationale for this test

Dit pakket combineert standaard cardiovasculaire risicofactoren die in Nederlandse zorgrichtlijnen zijn opgenomen voor het opstellen van een cardiovasculair risicoprofiel. De NHG-Standaard CVRM en de multidisciplinaire richtlijn Cardiovasculair Risicomanagement beschrijven lipidenprofiel (totaal cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceriden), HbA1c en hs-CRP als onderdeel van de basisdiagnostiek bij risicoprofilering. Deze combinatie van metingen is wetenschappelijk goed onderbouwd voor het inschatten van cardiovasculair risico.

Practical information

Frequently asked questions

How does it work from order to result?

After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.

How quickly can I get tested?

Often within a few working days. How soon you can be seen depends on how busy the location is and the type of analysis. For specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.

Do I need to book an appointment?

At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.

Do I need to fast before the test?

That depends on the test. Whether fasting is required, and from what time, is clearly stated in the instructions you receive after ordering. No surprises at the counter.

When and how do I receive my result?

It varies per analysis: from same-day to a few working days. Standard values often come back quickly; analyses that go to an external lab can take a bit longer. You receive your laboratory report securely by email. It lists the measured values, units, reference ranges and any flags added by the laboratory.

Where can I go for collection?

We work with 1,000+ collection points across the Netherlands. After ordering you'll see which locations near you are available and you pick where you'd like to go.

I received a referral by email, just like from a GP. I did not have to send anything by post and could quickly visit a local blood collection centre. The results were fast and clear. The price was good, not too expensive, and all messages were secure.

“Very happy to have found this business”

Very happy to have found this business. We need to check our blood more often :) The process was easy. They sent me the kit at home, then I had to go to a clinic with the papers and they knew what they had to do. I got the results in less than a week.

DenisaVerified

“Smooth process and good support”

Amazing website experience. I ordered various tests for 2 people. We went to one of the supported centers and took samples. Also after the results were ready, I needed a letter from the laboratory and they prepared the letter for me in no time. Definitely recommended.

Majid HajiheidariVerified

“Amazing service!”

Received a packet with everything needed, went to a walk in clinic (Amsterdam DC Clinic) where my blood was drawn and I was out the door within 5 minutes, and then after posting the samples, received results 2 days later. Results were easy to understand as well. Amazing service, would highly recommend!

Trudi CoetzeeVerified

“Great customer service”

I ordered a test through bloedcheckup.nl but later realized I no longer needed it. I contacted their support team, and they were very quick, responsive, and helpful in handling my cancellation. The whole process was smooth and efficient. Great customer service!
