Private Heart Check London – Same-day Cardiac Screening

What Does a Private Heart Health Check May Involve?

A specialist-led heart health assessment at The National Heart Clinic covers:

Heart Check Based on Your Health, Not a Fixed Package

More tests on paper doesn’t mean a better assessment; rather, it means a longer invoice. Your medical history, symptoms, and risk profile decide what’s worth investigating, not a bundle someone chose suits everyone. At The National Heart Clinic, our specialists recommend heart tests that are most suitable for you, keeping in view your clinical requirements.

Private Heart Health Tests You May Need

You don’t need a bigger package; you need the right assessment. Our aim is not simply to perform more tests, but to perform the tests that can answer the clinical questions relevant to you. Depending on your individual heart health needs and symptoms, your assessment may involve one or more of the following tests.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

An Electrocardiogram records your heart’s electrical activity and provides information about your heart rhythm and other electrical abnormalities. 

Echocardiogram (Heart Ultrasound)

An echocardiogram helps doctors evaluate your heart’s structure and function, including its different chambers, valves, and pumping action.

Holter Monitoring

A Holter Monitor is usually recommended to record your heart rhythm continuously over an extended period (24 hours-14 days) and is especially useful when symptoms are intermittent. 

Ambulatory BP Monitoring

A 24Hr BP Monitor records your blood pressure pattern at regular intervals during a full day of routine activities and while you sleep. 

Carotid Doppler

A Carotid Doppler Ultrasound assesses blood flow through the carotid arteries and helps cardiologists detect narrowing of blood vessels or plaque buildup. 

Cardiac CT

Cardiac CT is a non-invasive test that uses X-rays to create detailed, 3-dimensional images of the heart and blood vessels. 

Cardiac MRI

Cardiac MRI helps create detailed images of the heart and blood vessels without using radiation to evaluate its structure, function, and tissue characteristics.

Consultant-Led Cardiac Screening in London All Tests in Same Visit

Where it’s clinically appropriate, all cardiac investigations can be carried out on the same day as your assessment. It is particularly useful if you are travelling to London for your appointment or want to avoid multiple visits for your cardiac investigation.
