Our goal

Heart Check helps you understand your QRISK3 cardiovascular risk score and cholesterol results — so you can have better conversations with your GP about preventing heart disease and stroke.

This resource is part of Aryash Health, which develops patient education tools for UK GP practices.

How to use this site

Use this alongside — not instead of — medical advice.

Every person is different. Only someone who can assess you directly can give advice specific to your situation.

Not sure? Get checked. We'd always rather you seek help and find it's nothing than wait on something serious.
