Assessment aim
The aim of the heart assessment clinic is to highlight where there is an increased risk of developing heart disease. The assessment also plays an important role in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease by performing clinical tests and proceeding with a realistic individualised action plan.
Who will benefit from the service?
If you sometimes feel out of breath, have any kind of discomfort in your chest or simply feel that your diet or lack of exercise is affecting your well being, then this service could offer you some insight and information on improving your health through realistic life changes.
Many people have a family history of heart disease and it’s important for them to be tested. The information from the assessment should help reduce the risk of developing heart problems.
