It’s very essential that you measure your risk and make a plan to prevent having heart problems in near future.
The advanced heart check has the following features
Complete Blood Picture:
Testing blood is a very common diagnostic tool used to identify any problem in our body mechanism. Blood test gives you a picture of normal ranges of blood cells and helps us monitor the disorders of organs and their impact.
The Hemoglobin, Heamotocrit, RBC and WBC counts, Neutrophils and Eosinophil counts are assessed through the test.
Complete Urine Examination:
Waste products are usually excreted by the kidneys. High levels of proteins, sugars indicate that the kidney functioning is not optimal and it is associated with disorders especially related to heart like diabetes and hypertension. A complete urine examination is conducted to asses these factors.
Serum Creatinine:
This test is also an indicator of how the kidney is functioning.
Fasting Blood Sugar:
Diabetes Mellitus is the most common risk factor for heart diseases. Fasting blood sugar test is done to asses the sugar levels in the body.
Lipid Profile:
The cholesterol levels in the body are assessed by lipid profile test. Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood and high levels may lead to coronary artery disease.
Electrocardiogram (ECG):
ECG is used to determine the electrical activity of your heart in a graph format. Any abnormalities like rhythm, blood flow, stroke, heart enlargement are recorded.
Stress Test (TMT):
As the name implies stress test determines how the heart reacts under stress. It involves walking on the treadmill and electrodes are attached to your body that gives the picture of your ECG, blood pressure and heart rate.
Chest X-Ray
The X Ray is performed to give us an image of the heart and lungs. Any enlargement and abnormalities can be assessed by the chest X ray.
Non invasive 64 slice C.T. Angiogram:
The CT Angiogram is a non-invasive imaging technique which utilizes the power of a CT machine and modern-day computer technology to give us a 3D picture of your heart and its arteries. This helps us identify any blocks in your heart’s arteries.
The CT Angiogram is non-invasive, unlike a conventional angiogram and, hence, safer. The quality and accuracy of the angiogram is comparable to conventional angiograms
Cardiologists Consultation:
After the tests are performed our cardiac team will review all your reports and will meet you with their opinion and advice you accordingly.
