Healthy heart screening
Wessex Cardiology provide a "Healthy Heart Screening" service. This involves a consultation with a consultant cardiologist, ECG, risk factor assessment including total cholesterol and subfraction analysis. Further investigations are tailored to individual needs and can include an exercise ECG test to assess the heart under physical stress, cardiac ultrasound examination (echocardiography) to look for structural abnormalities of the heart and associated structures. On occasions in may be recommended that a CT scan of the coronary arteries is necessary to evaluate the possibility of coronary artery disease. For further details, contact us.
Spire Hospital also hosts a BUPA wellness facility for a more general health screening assessment.
