- A thorough clinical history including a past medical history, family history and life-style habits.
- An echocardiogram: to assess the structure and function of your heart and its valves.
- Blood tests: full blood count, renal function tests, liver function tests, lipid (cholesterol) profile and thyroid function tests.
- Computed tomography coronary angiography: to assess for the presence of calcium and/or plaque (cholesterol) build-up within your coronary arteries.
COST: £980
Stable cardiovascular disease package (low to intermediate risk)
This involves an assessment of the severity of your cardiac condition along with the implementation of appropriate treatment.
