Heart health is the foundation of overall well-being. The heart tirelessly pumps blood and oxygen to every organ in the body, keeping us alive and active. Yet, many people only realize the importance of heart health when something goes wrong—such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or even a heart attack. The good news is that most heart diseases can be prevented or managed if detected early. That’s where Cardiac Risk Screening plays a life-saving role.
At our clinic, we offer comprehensive cardiac risk screening to identify early warning signs of heart disease—even before symptoms appear. Our goal is simple: to help you take control of your heart health through preventive care, education, and timely medical support.
Cardiac risk screening is a set of tests and evaluations designed to assess a person’s likelihood of developing heart disease or related conditions in the future. It’s not just for people with existing heart issues—anyone, especially those with certain risk factors, can benefit from screening.
The purpose of cardiac screening is early detection. By identifying risks such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or lifestyle-related habits, doctors can create a preventive plan tailored to each individual.
Think of it as a “heart check-up”—a proactive way to ensure your heart stays healthy for years to come.
Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. What makes it particularly dangerous is that many people have no symptoms until a major event occurs. Regular screening can uncover silent risk factors and help prevent serious complications like heart attacks, strokes, or heart failure.
Some key reasons to consider cardiac screening include:
Early detection saves lives: Identifying risks before symptoms appear allows for timely treatment and lifestyle changes.
Prevention is better than cure: Managing cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure helps protect your arteries.
Personalized health guidance: Screening helps doctors customize advice based on your health profile.
Peace of mind: Knowing your heart health status gives you confidence and motivation to stay healthy.
While everyone benefits from knowing their heart health, certain individuals are at higher risk and should be screened regularly. You should consider cardiac screening if you:
Are over 40 years old (men) or over 50 years old (women)
Have a family history of heart disease
Suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity
Have high cholesterol levels
Lead a sedentary lifestyle
Smoke or consume alcohol frequently
Experience stress or sleep disturbances
Have a history of chest discomfort, palpitations, or breathlessness
For younger individuals with a strong family history of heart conditions, screening can begin even earlier.
A cardiac screening typically involves a combination of medical history review, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. At our clinic, we offer a comprehensive, patient-friendly evaluation that includes:
Medical History & Lifestyle Assessment
Your doctor will discuss your symptoms, family history, diet, activity level, and lifestyle habits. Understanding these details helps identify potential risk factors and guide further testing.
Physical Examination
A simple examination can reveal early signs of heart disease, such as abnormal blood pressure, irregular heart rhythm, or swelling in the legs.
Blood Tests
Lipid Profile: Measures total cholesterol, LDL (“bad” cholesterol), HDL (“good” cholesterol), and triglycerides.
Blood Sugar Levels: High glucose may indicate diabetes, a major heart risk factor.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP): Indicates inflammation linked to cardiovascular disease.
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
This non-invasive test records the electrical activity of the heart and helps detect irregular rhythms, previous silent heart attacks, or conduction abnormalities.
Echocardiogram (Echo)
An ultrasound of the heart that evaluates its structure, valves, and pumping efficiency. It provides detailed insight into how well your heart is functioning.
Treadmill Test (TMT or Stress Test)
This test assesses how your heart performs during physical activity. It helps detect blocked arteries or abnormal rhythms triggered by exertion.
CT Coronary Angiogram or Calcium Scoring (if needed)
Advanced imaging tests may be recommended for individuals with multiple risk factors. They help visualize plaque buildup in the coronary arteries.
Blood Pressure & Body Composition Analysis
Monitoring blood pressure, BMI, and waist circumference helps track the impact of obesity and lifestyle on cardiac health.
Each of these components together provides a complete picture of your cardiovascular health.
After screening, your doctor will explain what the findings mean and how they relate to your overall risk of heart disease. Depending on the results, you may fall into one of the following categories:
Low Risk: Minimal lifestyle adjustments and periodic follow-ups may be enough.
Moderate Risk: Requires diet and lifestyle modifications, along with regular check-ups.
High Risk: May need medical treatment, further testing, and closer monitoring.
The aim is not just to diagnose but to empower you with knowledge so you can take active steps toward protecting your heart.
If screening shows you are at increased risk, don’t panic—heart disease prevention is highly effective when addressed early. Our specialists focus on personalized care plans that combine medical treatment and lifestyle strategies such as:
Healthy Eating:
A heart-friendly diet includes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats like nuts and olive oil. Reducing salt, sugar, and processed foods supports better heart function.
Regular Exercise:
Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity (like brisk walking or cycling) most days of the week. Exercise strengthens the heart, lowers blood pressure, and improves circulation.
Stress Management:
Chronic stress can elevate blood pressure and strain the heart. Mindfulness, yoga, deep breathing, and adequate sleep are valuable tools for relaxation.
Quit Smoking and Limit Alcohol:
Smoking damages blood vessels and increases plaque buildup, while excessive alcohol can weaken the heart. Quitting smoking and drinking in moderation greatly reduces cardiac risk.
Medication (if prescribed):
For some individuals, medications to control cholesterol, diabetes, or blood pressure are essential to maintaining heart health.
Regular Monitoring:
Routine check-ups ensure that risk factors remain under control and allow your doctor to adjust treatments if necessary.
