Basic Cardiac Health Check-up
Your heart works continuously to keep you healthy, but heart-related problems may not always cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages. The Basic Cardiac Health Check-up is designed to provide a convenient assessment of your heart health and help identify common cardiovascular risk factors.
What Does the Check-up Include?
Depending on the clinical assessment and package protocol, a heart health check-up may include a consultation with a doctor, blood pressure and pulse evaluation, and relevant cardiac investigations such as an ECG and blood tests. Your healthcare provider can recommend additional tests when required based on your symptoms, medical history, age, and risk factors.
Who Should Consider a Cardiac Check-up?
A routine cardiac health check-up can be useful for adults who want to monitor their cardiovascular health, particularly those with risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, a family history of heart disease, or a sedentary lifestyle.
Benefits of Regular Heart Screening
Regular heart screening helps you understand important cardiovascular health indicators and discuss potential risks with a healthcare professional. Early evaluation can also help guide appropriate lifestyle changes and further medical assessment when necessary.
Before Your Check-up
Follow any instructions provided by the healthcare team, especially regarding fasting or medications if blood tests are included. Carry previous medical reports and a list of your current medicines for a more informed consultation.
If you experience chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting, or other sudden symptoms, seek urgent medical attention rather than waiting for a routine health check-up.
