About Heart check-up
Heart disease often develops silently for years. A preventive check-up looks at your risk factors and the health of your heart before symptoms appear.
It typically combines a consultation with blood pressure measurement, an ECG and blood tests such as sugar and cholesterol, with further tests like an echo or TMT when advised.
