Heart Health Check: Prioritize Your Heart’s Wellbeing
Heart Health Check: Prioritize Your Heart’s WellbeingYour heart is at the center of your overall health, and keeping it in check is crucial. Our comprehensive Heart Health Check is designed to assess your cardiovascular health and identify potential risks before they become serious issues. Thanks to these proactive heart checks, we have identified numerous patients with cardiovascular disease, allowing us to provide timely medical treatment or referrals for stent or bypass surgery.
What’s Included:
• Nurse Assessment: Your visit begins with our nurse, who will conduct an initial assessment, including a blood pressure check, review of your diet, cholesterol levels, and calculation of your cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
• GP Consultation: Following the nurse's assessment, you’ll see a GP who will evaluate your individual circumstances, check your heart, and arrange any necessary further investigations.
Cost: • $52 Out of Pocket: After a rebate of $83 on the total cost of $135. • Bulk Billed for Aged Pensioners and DSP Card Holders • $35 Out of Pocket for Other Pension Card Holders
Cholesterol Check Requirement:A cholesterol check within the last year is required for the Heart Health Check. If you haven’t had one, you can walk in for a fasting blood test Monday-Friday from 08:30-13:00 or Saturday from 09:00-12:30. Please schedule your Heart Health Check at least 2 days after your blood test.
Why It’s Important:Heart disease is a leading cause of health issues, and early detection is key to prevention. Regular Heart Health Checks can help you understand your cardiovascular risk factors, enabling you to take proactive steps to protect your heart.
