Blood panel analysis and ECG testing assess blood biomarkers and cardiac electrical activity
to identify early signs of metabolic, hormonal, and cardiovascular abnormalities. These diagnostic tests are
available in Sydney and Melbourne, and are performed under the supervision of a doctor.
What are blood panel analysis and ECG testing?
Blood panel analysis measures specific substances in your blood, such as cholesterol, blood sugar, liver and kidney enzymes, hormones, vitamins, iron levels and more. These results show how well your organs are working and whether there are any deficiencies, inflammation, or early signs of disease.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) testing records electrical signals that control your heartbeat. This allows us to analyse your heart rate and its rhythm. Using this information, we can identify heart rhythm irregularities or signs of cardiac strain.
At HealthScreen, we offer diagnostic programs performed under the supervision of a doctor, which include both of these tests. These tests are an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to your full health profile, as they can guide planning decisions around lifestyle changes and risk mitigation.
Why do these tests matter?
Ageing impacts every system of the body, from hormones to cardiovascular function, nutrient absorption to immune defence. Comprehensive diagnostic testing allows our clinicians to:
- Identify silent risk factors for chronic disease
- Detect early signs of inflammation or metabolic dysfunction
- Tailor treatments to your biology, not just your symptoms
- Monitor progress over time with measurable data

How does this testing at HealthScreen work?
Your blood biomarkers and ECG are conducted on-site as part of your assessment process. Our clinicians review your results in detail during your follow-up consultation and integrate them into a customised protocol.
This diagnostic package is included in your longevity membership and is part of our diagnostic program. This suite of tests forms part of the initial HealthScreen consultation.
What’s included in our blood and ECG testing?
Our testing combines detailed blood analysis with cardiac screening to provide a broad overview of your internal health. Here is what is included in our blood and ECG assessment.
General Health and Metabolic Markers
- Full Blood Examination (FBE) – Detects anaemia, infection, and immune abnormalities
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel – Includes:
- Liver Function Tests (LFTs)
- Renal Function Tests (U&E, Creatinine)
- Random Blood Glucose + HbA1c – Assesses blood sugar control and diabetes risk
- Lipid Panel – Measures cholesterol levels (HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides)
- Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) – For men, assesses prostate health and cancer risk
Hormonal Balance
- Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) – Evaluates thyroid function and metabolic rate
- Sex Hormones:
- Testosterone (total and free) – For muscle mass, libido, energy (both men and women)
- Estradiol & Progesterone – For hormonal balance in women
Nutritional Status
- Vitamin D (25-OH) – Supports immunity, bone health, and inflammation regulation
- Vitamin B12 & Folate – Important for neurological health and energy
- Iron Panel (Ferritin, Iron, TIBC) – Evaluates iron stores and anaemia risk
Cardiovascular Health
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) – Detects heart rhythm abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation or heart block
Kidney Health
- Comprehensive Urinalysis – Includes microscopy, culture, and sensitivity (ordered if clinically indicated)
- Urine ACR (Albumin to Creatinine Ratio) – Predicts risk of kidney failure, heart attack, and stroke
FAQs
Do I need a referral to get a blood panel analysis or ECG testing?
No, you do not need a referral to get a blood panel analysis or have ECG testing at HealthScreen. You can either receive the tests as part of our longevity membership or within our diagnostic program.
How should I prepare before a blood test?
You will typically need to fast from midnight the night before your HealthScreen appointment. The client concierge team will provide preparation instructions ahead of your appointment so you know exactly what to do. If you have any questions, contact our team for support.
Can blood panels detect nutritional deficiencies?
Yes, they can. Blood panels measure levels of key nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D, and more. This is helpful for identifying any deficiencies that may be affecting your energy, immunity, or overall health.
Why combine blood analysis with an ECG?
Blood tests provide insight into how your body is functioning biochemically, while an ECG assesses how your heart is functioning electrically.
Together, they offer a more complete picture of your internal health and cardiovascular risk.
Is follow-up testing or monitoring available?
Yes, if clinically indicated, our physicians will provide recommendations regarding follow-up testing and monitoring. Follow-up testing allows our doctors to track changes over time and adjust your care plan as needed. It’s also important for understanding how well your health interventions are working.
