Prevention and early diagnosis are key to avoiding cardiovascular disease. We offer basic and executive health screening, however we also tailor our service to your circumstances. Around seven million people in the UK live with heart and circulatory diseases. This includes coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and stroke. Heart and circulatory diseases cause more than a quarter (26 per cent) of all deaths in the UK.
Our consultants can assess the health of your heart and detect the early signs of any heart problems, such as arrhythmia and heart failure, as well as determining your risk of stroke or heart attack. Our specialist screening techniques allow our experts to diagnose and monitor heart issues – even at an early stage before symptoms develop. We will recommend treatment and any further tests that may be needed.

During your consultation the doctor will discuss which tests are important in your particular case. Our consultants believe in a patient centred approach and therefore only advise tests which are of value to you.
Heart Health
Maintaining a healthy heart
If you’re concerned about your heart health and want to stay healthy, you can take some simple steps for maintaining a healthy heart:
A healthy diet can help to reduce the symptoms of many heart conditions including heart disease, heart attack and stroke. Try to fill up on fruit and vegetables to get the most nutrition for a healthy heart.
It is very important to quit smoking as smoking is a definite risk factor for all types of cardiovascular diseases particularly coronary artery disease and stroke.
Regular exercise is an important way to lower your risk of heart disease. By exercising for as little as 30 minutes most days, you can lose weight and lower your blood pressure which will help to keep your heart healthy.
Findings suggest that unsaturated fats in fish can help protect against abnormal heart rhythms, making fish a valuable choice for a heart healthy diet.
Making the simple switch from milk chocolate to dark chocolate can help you to protect your heart. Studies show that, unlike milk chocolate, dark chocolate can improve health and lower the risk of heart disease.
Everyone enjoys a drink from time to time but as a diuretic, alcohol will make you urinate more frequently which increases the risk of dehydration. Alcohol can also dilate blood vessels which may lower your blood pressure, putting more strain on your heart. Alcohol is the most potent trigger of atrial fibrillation, the commonest heart rhythm disorder.
Eating too much salt can cause high blood pressure which can increase your heart disease. Ideally you need to limit your salt intake to less than 2.4 grams per day, which means reading food labels closely and limiting the amount of additional salt you add to your food.
It’s important to know if you are diabetic as, is left untreated, diabetes can damage your artery walls and contribute to heart disease.
Staying fit and healthy is a great way to keep your heart healthy and a great way to stay motivated with exercising is to choose activities that combine exercise and socialising such as Pilates, yoga, dancing or cycling.
