The risk of heart disease increases dramatically with age from 2.3% between 45-54 years old to 23.2% when 75 years old and over. This is why it’s important to detect any signs and risks of heart conditions early to prevent strokes and heart attacks.
At The Good Samaritan Medical Centre, our doctors undertake an in depth assessment of your health profile and assess the risk of heart disease. Along with our nurse, our doctors can support you to reduce this risk and discuss management and lifestyle changes to better change the shape of your health. This includes:
- Your diet
- Exercise levels
- Smoking and alcohol intake
- Your medical and family history
Our practice is equipped with ECG (electrocardiogram) machines to assess the severity of the heart condition and set out an action plan with your GP to maintain heart function.
