Heart Health

You do not need to do a full Standard or Executive Medical to find out if you are at increased risk of heart disease. You can ask the doctor at any consultation if you have a family history or are in general concerned about this. We can take a family history, check your blood pressure and arrange blood testing.

We have an ECG test machine in the surgery.  It is a harmless and painless way of recording heart activity via electrodes positioned on the surface of the skin and is used to diagnose various heart disorders which produce abnormal patterns on an ECG read out.

The ECG test can be performed by our Practice Nurse. If you are experiencing palpitations or chest symptoms, don’t delay in making an appointment for an ECG test.

If you have established heart disease we offer a structured programme for monitoring your heart health.
