Why Proactive Heart Screening is Essential

Cardiovascular disease is often a silent killer. Don’t wait for symptoms—our screenings are designed to identify hidden risks, such as high arterial plaque and early indicators of stroke, well before a life-threatening event occurs.

Identifying Asymptomatic Atherosclerosis: The Core of Prevention

Many individuals harbour significant plaque build-up (atherosclerosis) in their arteries for years without experiencing any noticeable pain or discomfort. Proactive screening uses advanced panels and imaging to detect these hidden arterial changes early, enabling intervention before plaque rupture causes a critical event like a heart attack or stroke.

Moving Beyond Basic Blood Tests: Assessing Structural Risk

Traditional blood tests tell us a lot about the chemical risk (like cholesterol levels), but they don’t show the actual, physical damage that has already happened to your heart and blood vessels. To get a complete picture, a thorough heart checkup uses special, painless scans and pictures (called non-invasive imaging) to look right inside. These tests let doctors see the structure of your heart and measure how thick and stiff your artery walls have become.

Sustained Risk Management: Tailoring Your Ongoing Prevention Plan

Screening gives your doctor important starting information so they can choose the exact right medicine for you and create a perfect long-term plan for your diet and exercise. Regular follow-up appointments based on these initial results ensure continuous monitoring of key risk factors, securing a sustained path to heart and stroke prevention.

Advanced Heart Screening at LifeCare

We utilise state-of-the-art Non-Invasive technology for precision risk assessment. Our tests include advanced tests like CT Calcium Scoring and Carotid IMT Ultrasound for accurate, early detection of vascular disease. Furthermore, the incorporation of advanced tools like Cardiac MRI allows for detailed, non-invasive evaluation of the heart muscle and valve function, offering superior structural insights.

FAQ Section

Who should consider a Comprehensive Heart Screening?

Individuals over 40 years old, those with a strong family history of cardiac events (heart attack, stroke) before age 55, and anyone with existing risk factors such as Hypertension, Diabetes, high Cholesterol, or a history of smoking. Proactive screening is critical as many cardiovascular diseases are initially silent. You can learn more about specific tests in our full list of services for the heart screening package.

The primary modifiable risks include high blood pressure, elevated LDL cholesterol, smoking, lack of physical activity, obesity, and uncontrolled diabetes. Our screening is designed to identify and measure the impact of these factors on your arterial health, helping you manage your risk before it’s too late.

The Heart CT Scan – Calcium Score is the most reliable, non-invasive method for detecting and quantifying calcified arterial plaque within your heart arteries. A high score is a powerful predictor of future risk, guiding early intervention strategies by your medical consultant. We explain the procedure in detail in our Premium Heart Prevention Plan

The Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) scan measures the thickness and health of the arteries in your neck, which are a direct indicator of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) throughout the entire cardiovascular system. It is a crucial marker for assessing stroke risk and is often a component of our Premium Stroke Prevention Plan

Our primary heart screening tests are non-invasive. While tests like the CT Calcium Score involve minimal radiation exposure (comparable to a standard X-ray), the procedure is quick and entirely non-surgical. Any specialised procedures involving contrast are fully explained during your booking.

If your assessment shows significant risk (e.g., high plaque score or abnormal blood markers), you will receive immediate consultation with our specialist doctor. We will then establish a personalised Cardiovascular Management Plan. This may involve lifestyle modification referrals or a direct referral to a Consultant Cardiologist for further steps.

We prioritise your peace of mind. Your essential blood tests and imaging results are typically available on the same day, allowing for a meaningful, same-day consultation with the doctor to discuss findings and next steps immediately.
