Before any testing, you must have an initial consultation with a health consultant to assess your current lifestyle, medical history, and familial health.Â
Two-thirds of all men by the time they reach 40 have thicker, harder arteries around their hearts.
At GC Biosciences, we provide men at risk of coronary artery disease with cutting-edge screening methods. To reduce your risk of heart disease and possibly reverse it, we perform a variety of tests to evaluate your risk profile and pinpoint areas that need attention.
Before any testing, you must have an initial consultation with a health consultant to assess your current lifestyle, medical history, and familial health.Â
You'll then be booked in to have your blood taken so we can do the blood analysis. You will also be booked in for a stress echocardiogram.Â
After analyzing the test results, we schedule a post-test consultation with our health scientists to discuss the findings and outline necessary changes to decrease your risk.
You will have a post-test consultation with a medical doctor (if needed), a nutritionist and a personal trainer to implement nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Check-in consultations every 2 weeks are scheduled. You'll be able to ask any questions you might have as you progress through the program.”Â
QRISK3
Understand your QRISK3 Score. How likely are you to have a heart attack or a stroke in the next 10 years
Triglycerides/HDL
Abnormal Triglycerides/HDL Ratio indicates an atherogenic risk profile which leads to heart attacks. We can help reduce this considerably.
Lipid Panel
Our lipid panel uses a traffic light system to highlight the risk.
Lipid Comparison Chart
Testosterone Panel
Our blood tests also show how much testosterone you have, which we can also treat.
Key Findings
Key Findings are highlighted and discussed on each report we produce.

CAD becomes increasingly common with age, and men tend to develop CAD before women. As a result, men have an overall higher risk of CAD.
Certain occupations, such as manual labour or industrial work, can involve exposure to harmful chemicals or physical stress that may contribute to CAD development.
Conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, can increase the risk of developing CAD. Men are at a higher risk of developing these conditions.
Testosterone has been linked to an increased risk of developing CAD. It is thought to be related to changes in lipid metabolism and oxidative stress.
