Common questions
I feel fine. Is this worth it?
Yes. Heart disease often develops for years without symptoms. Knowing your risk early is what allows it to be reduced.
Will I be put on tablets?
Not necessarily. Treatment depends on your overall risk, and for many people lifestyle changes come first.
How often should it be repeated?
Usually every few years, or sooner if your health changes. You will be told what is sensible for you.
Not sure this is the test you need?
You do not have to decide alone. Book a consultation or send a question on WhatsApp. Tests are chosen once your symptoms and history have been reviewed.
This page explains what the test involves. It is not medical advice for your situation. If you have sudden or severe chest pain, fainting or breathlessness, seek emergency care immediately.
