Echocardiogram (ECHO) is a cardiac examination using high-frequency sound waves to observe the structure, function of the heart, and blood flow. It is a safe, painless, and radiation-free procedure.

✅ Suitable for
- Individuals experiencing heart-related symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, or palpitations.
- Individuals with cardiac arrhythmia or a heart murmur detected during a physical examination.
- Individuals with underlying medical conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol.
- Individuals with a family history of heart disease.
- Individuals suspected of having valvular heart disease (leaking/stenosis) or heart failure.
- Individuals who require follow-up after heart surgery or cardiac treatment.

Exercise Stress Test (EST) is a diagnostic procedure that monitors the heart’s activity while a patient exercises on a treadmill or stationary bike, with continuous electrocardiogram (EKG) recording. It helps evaluate how well the heart pumps blood, as well as the response of blood pressure and heart rhythm during physical exertion.

✅ Recommended for

- Individuals with symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or suspected coronary artery disease
- Those at risk of coronary artery disease, including patients with hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol
- People who need to assess heart performance before engaging in intense exercise or sports
- Individuals with a family history of heart disease
- Patients who require follow-up after cardiac treatment, angioplasty, or bypass surgery
- Those recommended by a doctor to check for abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia)

CT Calcium Score is a computed tomography (CT) scan used to measure the amount and severity of calcified plaque accumulated in the walls of the coronary arteries. The presence of this plaque indicates Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), a major risk factor that can lead to an acute heart attack. This examination is quick, does not require an injection of contrast dye, and can assess the risk of heart disease from an early stage.

✅ Suitable for
- Individuals aged 40 years and over, especially males.
- Individuals with risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol.
- Individuals with a family history of coronary artery disease.
- Individuals with central obesity or a high-risk lifestyle (e.g., sedentary, diet high in fat/salt/sugar).
- Individuals who wish to screen for heart disease risk early, even without symptoms.
- Individuals for whom a doctor has recommended the test to evaluate the future risk of coronary artery disease.
