For your cardiac screening, you will have a baseline review with the addition of some or all of the following investigations;
- Cardiac health assessment by specialist.
- Baseline observations
- Resting ECG
- Blood tests
- Echocardogram
- Carotid doppler (USS)
- Exercise stress test
- +/- CT coronary angiogram
You will subsequently have a follow up consultation and plan. The above screening will take at least half a day. Stress testing-involves exertion on a bike or treadmill.
CTs are only carried out in high risk patients.
The results will be available typically in a week or so where you will have follow up and a tailored management plan.
