Comprehensive Cardiovascular
Health Check

Cardiovascular Health Screening at IYASU Healthcare

Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common causes of heart attack, stroke, and long-term health complications. The difficulty is that many important risk factors, such as high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, diabetes, and abnormal heart rhythms, can develop quietly without obvious symptoms.

​

That is why cardiovascular screening is so valuable. Knowing your numbers early can help identify risk, guide treatment, and support better long-term health.

​

Why knowing your numbers matters

Your cardiovascular risk is influenced by several factors, including blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, kidney health, weight, smoking status, family history, and age. Even if you feel completely well, you may still have underlying risk factors that deserve attention.

​

A detailed assessment helps move beyond guesswork. It allows us to build a clearer picture of your current health and your future risk of cardiovascular disease.

​

What our screening includes

At IYASU Healthcare, we offer a comprehensive private cardiovascular health screening package for patients who want a more detailed and proactive assessment of heart and vascular health.

​

The package includes:

• 1 x 45-minute initial appointment

• 1 x 30-minute follow-up appointment

• ​

During the initial appointment, we carry out:

• Full cardiovascular history and examination

• Digital stethoscope assessment

• Atrial fibrillation screening using a Kardia 6L monitor

• Sitting and standing blood pressure measurements

• Inter-arm blood pressure checks

• Peripheral pulse assessment to help exclude peripheral vascular disease

• Ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI), where appropriate

• 12-lead ECG

• 4-day or 7-day Holter monitoring to look for abnormal heart rhythms

 

Advanced blood testing

We also offer a broad cardiovascular and metabolic blood profile to support a more complete assessment.

Tests available include:

• Full blood count

• Lipid profile

• Urea and electrolytes

• Liver function tests

• Albumin

• ALP

• Calcium

• Phosphate

• HbA1c

• TSH

• Ferritin

• Urine microalbumin/creatinine ratio

• Urine ACR (UMA)

• Lipoprotein(a)

• High-sensitivity CRP

 

We also provide advanced specialist cardiovascular tests that are generally only available privately and are not routinely offered on the NHS. These include:

• Apolipoprotein A1

• Apolipoprotein B

• ApoA/ApoB ratio

• Lipoprotein(a)

• High-sensitivity C reactive protein

• Lp-PLA2 (PLAC)

 

These specialist markers can help refine cardiovascular risk assessment, especially for patients with a strong family history of heart disease, premature cardiovascular disease, diabetes, raised cholesterol, or uncertainty about whether treatment is needed.

Follow-up and personalised advice

At your follow-up appointment, we review your results in detail and calculate both 10-year and lifetime cardiovascular risk scores.

You will receive clear, personalised recommendations based on your results. This may include lifestyle advice, further investigation, or treatment options to help reduce your long-term cardiovascular risk.

​

Who may benefit

This screening may be particularly helpful if you:

• Have a family history of heart disease or stroke

• Have high blood pressure, diabetes, or raised cholesterol

• Want a more detailed private assessment than is usually available through routine NHS care

• Are concerned about heart rhythm symptoms such as palpitations

• Want a proactive review of your cardiovascular health

 

At IYASU Healthcare, our aim is to provide a thorough, patient-centred, and practical approach to prevention. Our cardiovascular health screening service is designed to give you clarity, reassurance, and a clear plan for protecting your future heart health.
