As the previous respondent pointed out, it depends.

If there are no particular issues then the NICE guidance is for an annual blood test and check up with your GP or a specialist cardio nurse at the GP practice. This is the care package that I and many others on this forum are on.

If there’s a diagnosed issue, such as diabetes or a liver problem, there may be more frequent blood tests. But in the absence of any such problems it’s once a year.

Good luck!

I had a test after three months by a heart nurse, now it is every six months at my GP's surgery.
