Depending on your needs this includes ECG, echocardiogram and stress testing, blood-pressure and rhythm monitoring, and active management of cholesterol and other risk factors — with referral for advanced screening when it is indicated.

Common questions: Cardiovascular Longevity
What is the difference between an ECG and an echocardiogram?
An ECG records the heart's electrical activity; an echocardiogram is an ultrasound that shows the heart's structure and how well it pumps. They answer different questions and are often used together.
Can I have a stress test if I am already fit?
Yes. A stress test shows how your heart responds to exertion and is often useful for athletes and people starting more intense exercise.
