• Silent Danger, Lethal Outcome
  Cardiac disease often shows no symptoms until a sudden, life-threatening event like a heart attack occurs. Screening catches risks early, giving you a chance to act before it’s too late.
• Time Is Your Ally
  Early detection through screening can prevent up to 80% of heart-related deaths with timely intervention. Waiting for symptoms might mean missing the window to save your life.
• Peace of Mind Is Priceless
  A quick, non-invasive screening can either reassure you of your heart’s health or empower you with the knowledge to protect it – either way, you’ll know where you stand.

First thing you need to know: How is the procedure done

• Initial Consultation: A cardiologist reviews your medical history, lifestyle, and any symptoms to determine the right tests for you.
• Blood Tests: Fasting blood samples are taken to check cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and inflammation markers like hs-CRP, which indicate heart disease risk.
• Electrocardiogram: A quick, non-invasive test that records your heart’s electrical activity to detect irregular rhythms or abnormalities.
• Treadmill Stress Test: Your heart’s response to physical exertion is monitored to identify potential issues not visible at rest.
• Echocardiogram: An ultrasound of your heart evaluates its structure, valves, and function using sound waves.
• Results: Your cardiologist explains the findings, assesses your risk, and recommends the next steps – all in one session.

Who is at Risk? Do I Need Screening if Symptoms Appear?

Cardiac disease often develops silently, with no warning signs until it’s too late. You’re at higher risk if you:

• Are over 40 years old (risk increases with age).
• Have a family history of heart disease or stroke.
• Smoke or have a history of smoking.
• Have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes.
• Lead a sedentary lifestyle or are overweight.
• Experience chronic stress or poor dietary habits.

While heart disease can be silent, certain signs may prompt urgent screening:

• Chest pain or discomfort.
• Shortness of breath.
• Dizziness or fainting.
• Unusual fatigue.
• Palpitations (irregular heartbeat).

If you notice these, don’t wait – screening can confirm if your heart’s at risk.

Can I claim insurance or use MediSave?

General heart screening packages are not typically covered by MediSave. However, specific outpatient tests (e.g., CT scans or echocardiograms) recommended by a doctor for diagnosed conditions may be claimable, subject to limits. Check with your provider.

Personal Medical Insurance: Coverage depends on your plan. Some insurance policies don’t cover preventive screenings unless part of a corporate benefit or wellness program. Contact your insurer or HR department to confirm eligibility.
