"Are you, or Someone You Know, at Risk of Heart Disease?"
London medical specially developed the HeartProtectionPlan for people who want to know more about their risk of heart disease or stroke. It identifies the risk of premature heart disease and other cardiovascular problems including stroke, arterial narrowing, erectile difficulties and vascular dementia.
HeartProtectionPlan offers a more thorough and detailed assessment of risk of heart disease than any routine medical examination. It offers a consultation with a lipid specialist, complete lipoprotein subfractionation profiles, the London Medical Risk Factor protocol, a specialist intima media assessment using carotid ultrasound and on site cardiac investigations when necessary. The consultation will be tailored to the individual and may also involve any other tests offered at the clinic, such as eye examinations and cancer screening and general diagnostics, when requested. The consultant in lipid disorders integrates the advanced series of blood tests, together with non invasive assessments of premature arterial thickening, with conventional risk factors such as smoking, family history and the presence of insulin resistance or diabetes to determine appropriate levels of treatment and follow up.
While anybody will benefit from knowing their cardiac risk, it is especially valuable for people in demanding, high-profiles jobs and those with a history or family history of cardiac conditions. Consider cardiac assessment if you have:
- suffered a heart attack, stroke, or transient ischaemic attack (TIA)
- been treated with a coronary stent
- angina
- erectile dysfunction
- diabetes
- high blood pressure
- claudication (pains in the leg on exercise)
- a family history of cardiovascular disease or a history of smoking
- an increasing waistline.
Companies may appreciate that cardiovascular risk assessment of key personnel can have benefits for both the company and the employee. London Medical are happy to carry out company medicals and bespoke executive checkups.
