Cardio Check

£175

Your heart is the most important part of your body - look after your heart and it will keep looking after you. The Cardio Check is an ideal ‘starter’ for anyone concerned about their health and helps you avoid the risk of heart attack, stroke or cardiovascular disease.

Includes:

Heart scan – provides detailed information about the condition of your coronary arteries and can indicate more precisely your risk of a heart attack or stroke. The scan is looking for calcium build up in the arteries, which indicates the very early stages of heart and vascular disease – long before any symptoms are present. The more calcium (plaque) there is the greater your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. However, if calcium is detected early, modern treatments and lifestyle changes can make all the difference and help you avoid future heart attack and stroke.

Full lipid profile – a blood test giving a breakdown of your cholesterol (blood fat) result, including HDL and LDL (the so called ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterols) and triglycerides – a high level of cholesterol increases your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Monitored heart rhythm – monitors the rhythm of your heart to establish the presence of arrhythmia (an irregular heart beat) such as atrial fibrillation, which can cause a stroke.

Min age: 40+

Note: As the Cardio Check includes a Full Lipid Profile you will be asked to fast for 6 hours before your appointment to ensure we get the most accurate result possible.
