Heart Health Checks
Do you know what your risk of having a heart attack or stroke is? A Heart Health Check is a 20-minute check-up with your GP to assess your risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next five years.
As part of the check, your doctor will ask you about your lifestyle, medical and family health history. They will also check your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. We will use this information to estimate your risk of a heart attack or stroke. More importantly, we can then discuss the steps you can take to lower your risk.
