The Cholesterol Sequence Test (CST) is a structured 6-month cardiovascular risk assessment designed for people who want to measure the real impact of diet and/or medication on the factors that drive future cardiovascular risk.

What you get

A specialist-grade assessment of your cardiovascular risk, including personalised targets and repeat testing to objectively track your progress.

What's included

Initial assessment

• Preliminary health questionnaire (completed online), including your waist-to-height measurement

• Baseline fasting blood panel:

  • Lipid Profile

  • Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)

  • HbA1c

  • Lp (a)
    

Specialist medical report

A doctor will review your baseline results and provide:

• Your basic risk group

• Guideline-based target ApoB and LDL cholesterol

• A clinical interpretation of your results

  
  

Follow up testing

Two repeat blood tests are carried out at 12-week intervals to assess your response to dietary changes and/or medication.

• Month 3

  • Lipid profile

  • HbA1c
    

• Month 6

  • Lipid profile

  • HbA1c

  • Apolipoprotein B

Your first report also includes links to our resources on managing your results, since this test is a targeted risk assessment rather than a full medical assessment.

Once you have your baseline results and targets, you have everything needed to discuss with your healthcare team - in particular whether dietary measures might your lipid profile — lowering LDL and triglycerides, and/or raising HDL.
