Heart Check
At East Ryde Doctors, we offer comprehensive heart checks to assess cardiovascular health, detect potential heart conditions early, and promote heart disease prevention. Our dedicated team of doctors is committed to providing thorough evaluations and personalized care to support your heart health.
Importance of Heart Checks
Regular heart checks are essential for:
-
Early Detection: Identifying cardiovascular risk factors and heart conditions early, when treatment is most effective.
-
Preventive Care: Implementing strategies to reduce the risk of heart disease and improve heart health.
-
Management of Heart Conditions: Monitoring existing heart conditions and optimizing treatment plans to prevent complications.
At your Heart Check you will be assessed for:
1. Cardiovascular Risk: Cardiovascular risk assessments evaluate factors that contribute to heart disease, including:
-
Blood Pressure Monitoring: Checking blood pressure levels to assess heart health and risk of hypertension.
-
Cholesterol Levels: Screening for high cholesterol levels, which can increase the risk of heart disease.
-
Diabetes Screening: Assessing blood glucose levels and diabetes risk, as diabetes is a significant risk factor for heart disease.
2. Electrocardiogram (ECG): An ECG is a non-invasive test that records electrical activity in the heart. It helps detect:
-
Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats that may indicate underlying heart conditions.
-
Heart Attacks: Signs of previous or current heart muscle damage.
3. Referrals: Our General practitioners remain in constant contact with cardiologists in the area and can refer on or seek specific advice related to your individual care.
