Private Heart Health Checkup​ Package in London

You may need a heart health checkup if you have any of the following risk factors for heart disease:

• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Smoking
• Diabetes
• Family history of heart disease
• Age (over 45 for men and over 55 for women)

Even if you do not have any risk factors, it is still a good idea to have a heart health checkup every few years, especially as you get older.

A heart health checkup can help you to:

• Identify any risk factors for heart disease
• Detect any early signs of heart disease
• Develop a plan to reduce your risk of heart disease
• Receive early treatment for heart disease, if necessary

The consultation with the cardiologist will start with a discussion of your medical history and your risk factors for heart disease. The cardiologist will then perform a physical examination of your heart and lungs.

The echocardiogram is a non-invasive ultrasound test that uses sound waves to create images of your heart. This test can help the cardiologist to see the structure and function of your heart.

The ECG is a test that measures the electrical activity of your heart. This test can help the cardiologist to detect arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) and conduction abnormalities.

The possible findings of a heart health checkup include:

• Normal heart health
• Abnormalities in the structure or function of the heart
• Signs of heart disease, such as coronary artery disease or heart failure

There’s minimal preparation required. Wear comfortable clothing, preferably a two-piece outfit, and avoid using lotions on the day of the test for better Echocardiogram results.

Typically, preliminary results are discussed post-procedure, but a detailed analysis might take 24 hours. Always check with your cardiologist regarding when and how you’ll receive the complete results.
