Frequently asked questions
What happens if my tests show something concerning?
Your cardiologist will explain findings and recommend clear next steps - this could include lifestyle advice, medication, further tests (CT, stress testing, Holter) or referral for treatment. We can fast-track these within Spire Healthcare.
Do I need a GP referral?
No - this service is available for self-pay patients to book directly. We can also accept referrals from Healthcare Professionals and Spire GP.

Diagnostics appointment: typically 60–90 minutes (ECG, Echo, bloods). Consultant review: 20–30 minutes. Times may vary by site.
Can I get results the same day?
Diagnostic results (e.g., Echocardiogram, ECG and blood tests) will be reviewed by a consultant cardiologist and available at your second appointment; usually within a week, to ensure a thorough assessment.
What age do I need to be to book an appointment?
The check is available from 18 years, but most suitable for men and women aged 40+. Individual suitability will be assessed at booking.

The package is designed for self-pay patients; some insurers may cover tests if clinically indicated - please check with your provider before booking.
