- Early detection through screening can prevent up to 80% of heart-related deaths with timely intervention. Waiting for symptoms might mean missing the window to save your life.

How Is The Procedure Done
- Initial Consultation: A cardiologist reviews your medical history, lifestyle, and any symptoms to determine the right tests for you.
- Blood Tests: Fasting blood samples are taken to check cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and inflammation markers like hs-CRP, which indicate heart disease risk.
- Electrocardiogram: A quick, non-invasive test that records your heart’s electrical activity to detect irregular rhythms or abnormalities.
- Treadmill Stress Test: Your heart’s response to physical exertion is monitored to identify potential issues not visible at rest.
- Echocardiogram: An ultrasound of your heart evaluates its structure, valves, and function using sound waves.
- Results: Your cardiologist explains the findings, assesses your risk, and recommends the next steps – all in one session.
Who Is At Risk For Cardiac Diseases?
Cardiac disease often develops silently, with no warning signs until it’s too late. You’re at higher risk if you:
- Are over 40 years old (risk increases with age).
- Have a family history of heart disease or stroke.
- Smoke or have a history of smoking.
- Have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes.
- Lead a sedentary lifestyle or are overweight.
- Experience chronic stress or poor dietary habits.
While heart disease can be silent, certain signs may prompt seeking of urgent medical attention:
- Chest pain or discomfort.
- Shortness of breath.
- Dizziness or fainting.
- Unusual fatigue.
- Palpitations (irregular heartbeat).
