The key to successful cardiac screening is following a patient centric method. When you visit Medical Express Clinic, you'll be seen by our Consultant Cardiologist for a full and thorough consultation. The Consultant will provide advice on any investigations and tests which are appropriate for you. These may include blood tests, calcium score, coronary angiogram, ECG or echocardiograms. The tests will be arranged on the same day, if possible. You can come back to the clinic for a follow up consultation session where the results of your tests will be explained along with any implications for your future health.
