Comprehensive Cardiac Examinations
Comprehensive follow-up by the heart specialist medical team
Heart disease is asymptomatic, and there is a risk of sudden death at any time once it occurs. Even young people and those who feel that they have no heart problems should undergo regular heart disease examinations. Swindon Medical has a comprehensive cardiac disease examination service, covering heart examinations and assessments. The whole process is followed up by cardiologist team, so that patients can identify heart disease as early as possible, and with suitable treatment to facilitate a speedy recovery.

Cardiac Services: Seize the Opportunity and check early
Heart disease is an emergency disease. Swindon Medical accepts referral cases from the Hospital Authority, and also provides special referral services for patients. The cardiologist team will arrange an appropriate investigation plan according to the patient’s physical conditions, so that the patient can complete the indicated investigations as soon as possible and receive early treatment.
Swindon Medical has a team of cardiologists who can provide accurate diagnosis and treatment. We provide patients with a comprehensive cardiac diagnostic examination.
Blood Tests
Through blood tests, we can know the concentration of lipids in the blood, such as cholesterol and triglycerides. These figures are risk factors for heart disease, and if there are abnormal values, further investigation is required.
Cardiac Ultrasound (Echocardiogram)
Cardiac ultrasound is an important modality for the examination of the heart. This examination can evaluate the structure and function of the heart, understand the size and contraction of the heart, and judge the activity of the heart valves. Color ultrasound and Doppler blood flow measurement can determine the direction and velocity of blood flow in the heart vessels and can see whether the coronary artery is narrowed, and can also detect whether there is a heart valve defect, providing diagnosis and evaluation of the cardiovascular functions for patients with coronary artery disease and the general public. Echocardiogram has a high diagnostic value.
Coronary Angiography (Heart CT)
CT coronary angiography is aimed to show the image of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscles. During this examination, a special contrast agent is used to accurately detect narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, as well as other abnormalities, thereby allowing the doctor to decide the most appropriate treatment.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
-
ECG examinations can be divided into resting ECG, exercise ECG and 24-hour Holter ECG. By recording the micro-current signals generated when the heart muscle contracts, we can understand whether there is cardiac malfunction. The doctor will choose the appropriate examination plan according to the patient’s condition. Through high-end equipment, the comprehensiveness, safety and accuracy of the heart examination can be further improved.
Who are at risk for heart disease?
The presence of the following risk factors increases the risk of heart disease. Heart disease is hard to prevent. Most heart diseases show no obvious symptoms at the early stage, and it is difficult for patients to distinguish the symptoms of a heart attack. In view of this, regular heart disease examinations are very important. Through the examinations, we can pay attention to whether we are at high risk for heart diseases. By changing risk factors, 80 % of heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases can be prevented. If you have a family history of heart disease, such as, your parents had heart disease at a young age, you should also have a heart examination as soon as possible after the age of 25, and follow-up on regular basis.
