HCA starts service for heart health
Consultant cardiologists at HCA UK have launched a new service to give patients a complete picture and better understanding of their cardiovascular health.
The HCA UK Heart Health Check, available at any of the hospital group’s diagnostic centres across London, includes all tests, scans and analysis and costs £995 with a consultant fee of £250-£300.
It has been designed to give patients peace of mind by identifying and then supporting them to lower their risk of serious conditions.
The service provides a comprehensive, personalised review of the patient’s heart health including over 30 speciality blood tests, imaging and heart rhythm analysis, and consultation time with a cardiologist.
Patients also receive an echocardiogram heart scan, an ECG to check for an abnormal heart rhythm and a score to access their future heart and stroke risk based on age, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol and smoking status.
They are given a personalised plan for improving heart health.
