To provide a more extensive service, Lifescan has designed the Lifescan Check Plus. This provides a more detailed health check as it incorporates other health assessment techniques.

Includes:

All the scans within the Lifescan Check:
- Heart scan
- Lung scan
- Abdomen scan
- Bone mineral density scan
Full details of these individual scans can be seen under Lifescan Check above.

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.

Lung function and lung age test – to establish how well your lungs are functioning. It simply involves breathing long and hard into a special device, which will monitor how well your lungs are functioning and give an estimation of how ‘old’ your lungs are compared to your actual age. If your lung age is substantially older than your current age it can indicate that lifestyle or medical conditions may be having an impact on your lung function. Often taking sensible steps to help your lungs work harder can reverse these results.

Note: As the Lifescan Check Plus 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.
