Preventative medicine: preventative tests for the heart and blood vessels.
Diseases of the heart and blood vessels, also called cardiovascular disease, are conditions which affect the heart and the blood vessel system. Problems can lead to cardiac arrest (myocardiac arrest) to a stroke (CVA: cerebral haemorrhage) sometimes preceeded by Transient small strokes (TIA: transient ischaemic attack) and other conditions affecting the large vessels in the body (aortic aneurysms, Intermittent Claudication).
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in the western world.
Regular check-ups and timely treatment are advised to determine the risks and treat them in time. Your Cardiovascular Screening can help do this.
Cardiovascular disease: Problems affecting the heart and blood vessels
Disease of the heart and blood vessels is a very general term. The main aim is to determine how much damage there is to the body from the premature aging of the heart and blood vessels, whose job is to transport food and oxygen to the organs.If the heart and blood vessels aren't working properly then the organs will suffer (as will your general health). Healthy blood vessels, just like healthy skin are strong and elastic.
Symptoms of heart and blood vessels complaints
If the pressure in the blood vessels is too high for a sustained period, then the walls react by becoming thicker and/or less elastic. After a while this can lead to problems affecting the flow to and from the organs. This process is sometimes called 'Atherosclerosis', literally the hardening of the vessels, which occurs in a great many people. The hardening of the vessels increases the risk of coronary artery failure (and the risk of heart attacks), strokes and eventually failure of the heart muscle.Causes of heart and blood vessel complaints
The most obvious risk factors of cardiovascular disease are well-known: an unhealthy diet (depending on food intolerance, fat and sugar levels), a lack of physical exercise, being overweight and smoking. All these things contribute to premature aging of the heart and blood vessels, which in time leads to an increased risk of the previously mentioned conditions.What can we do for you?
We offer 3 screening packages: Basic, All-in and Ultra.
The first package already provides a good indication of the general condition of your cardiovascular health. If this basic analysis reveals that you have a medical problem then additional tests can easily be requested.
The All-in and Ultra packages are often chosen by companies and top managers who undergo a complete annual medical. The cardiovascular screening gives a good picture of the level of your general health.
The test result are treated with the strictest confidentiality. We only communicate the results to the patient, and if necessary will make them available to doctors treating them.
If you wish we can further expand these tests with high-tech digital imaging, whereby the heart and blood vessels are examined in high resolution. Furthermore we have everything we need to perform a cardiac stress test which monitors with precision the stress capacity of your heart and blood vessels.
