Cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes, are among the leading causes of death worldwide. As such, it is important to get regular checks to help identify and prevent these conditions from developing or worsening.

Elikar Syntagma Metro clinic is proud to offer a complimentary cardiovascular screening for all patients.

Why Screen for Cardiovascular Disease?

There are many risk factors that can lead to cardiovascular disease, such as smoking, poor diet, high blood pressure, obesity, and a family history of heart disease.

Unfortunately, many people do not realize they have these risk factors until it is too late. That is why it is important to get regular screenings, especially if you are over the age of 40 or have a family history of heart disease.

What is Included in the Screening?

The complimentary cardiovascular screening at Elikar Syntagma Metro includes a variety of tests to help identify your risk for heart disease. These tests include:.

Blood pressure check
Cholesterol and triglycerides test
Blood glucose test
Body mass index (BMI) calculation
Electrocardiogram (ECG) test
Consultation with a cardiologist

How to Prepare for the Screening?

Before your screening appointment, it is important to fast for at least eight hours. This means avoiding all food and drink, except for water, before your appointment.

You should also avoid smoking and strenuous exercise for at least two hours before the screening.

What to Expect During the Screening?

The screening will take approximately 45 minutes to complete. You will first meet with a nurse who will take your blood pressure and collect blood samples for the cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose tests.

You will then be taken to an exam room where a cardiologist will perform an ECG and calculate your BMI. Finally, you will meet with the cardiologist who will review your results and provide recommendations for any necessary follow-up care.

How Often Should I Get a Cardiovascular Screening?

The frequency of your screenings will depend on your individual risk factors for heart disease. However, it is recommended that all adults get a screening at least once every five years.

If you have any known risk factors, such as high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease, you may need more frequent screenings.
