Healthy heart assessment
Give yourself peace of mind for a healthy heart
Each day, your heart beats around 100,000 times so keeping it in good condition is vital for your overall health. Our leading Cardiology service provides safe and effective care, without the hassle of travelling into London.
A dedicated Cardiology team can assess your heart health, and also highlight any risk factors you might be exposed to. All results are reviewed by a consultant Cardiologist.
A comprehensive range of tests
When you book a Healthy Heart Assessment with us, you can expect a range of tests and examinations to examine the function of your heart:
- An ECG to determine and display your heartbeat
- An echocardiogram, a non-invasive test to determine the health of each valve and chamber of your heart
- A cholesterol test, consisting of a small blood test to determine your levels of low density lipids, or “bad” cholesterol
- A thyroid test to determine your thyroid function as it is closely linked with the heart
- A full blood count to check for anaemia and other blood disorders
- A blood test to determine your kidneys are working, diseases of the kidney can increase the risk of heart attack
- A liver check to determine the health of your liver, another organ that is closely linked with the heart
- A blood glucose test, to determine if you’re diabetic
- Urinalysis, which can flag up issues with the kidneys & liver, as well as provide insight into blood pressure
- A check of your sodium, potassium and creatinine levels
Your results will be processed in 7 working days and reviewed by a consultant Cardiologist. Our team will notify you of your results and a copy sent to your GP. If it is recommended for you to seek further medical advice, this can be done by arranging a consultation with a Cardiologist at KIMS Hospital, or through your NHS GP.
Our healthy heart assessment is available to patients 18 and over and without cardiac symptoms. It isn’t suitable for high-level athletes or patients with any cardiac medical history.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as mild chest pain, palpitations or breathlessness, and would like a heart assessment, then please see our rapid cardiac assessment service.
