Heart Health
Specialist Nurse-led Heart Health Assessment
Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Changes in your heart can develop without obvious symptoms. Undergoing a nurse-led heart health assessment offers you a reassuringly thorough, individualised, clinically informed, and evidence-based appointment that can help you prevent disease by identifying and understanding your risk factors or by supporting you with coming to terms with an existing condition. Giving you the knowledge and tools to improve your own health.
A heart health assessment is suitable for you if you have:
A family history of heart disease
Have high blood pressure, raised cholesterol or diabetes
Experience palpitations, breathlessness or chest discomfort and have already seen a doctor
Feel unusually fatigued
Want reassurance and proactive screening
Have recently been diagnosed with a heart condition
What the Appointment Includes
Your assessment begins with a detailed discussion of your medical history and current symptoms. We explore:
Personal and family cardiac history
Blood pressure history
Cholesterol and metabolic risk factors
Lifestyle factors including sleep, nutrition, stress and physical activity
Smoking status and alcohol intake
Current medications
Clinical Examination
Your heart health check includes:
Blood pressure measurement
Resting heart rate assessment
Oxygen saturation levels
Cardiac and respiratory examination
12-lead electrocardiogram ECG
The ECG records the electrical activity of your heart. It can help identify heart rhythm abnormalities, previous silent cardiac events, conduction disturbances and other changes that may require further investigation. The procedure is painless and takes only a few minutes.
After Your Assessment
Once your examination and ECG have been reviewed, we will discuss the findings in clear and understandable terms.
You will receive:
A written summary of your results
An explanation of any identified risk factors
Personalised advice on lifestyle modification where appropriate
Please note: As a registered nurse, I do not diagnose or prescribe in this role. If I am concerned about your history or symptoms, I will discuss this with you and will make an agreed plan, which may include signposting, writing to your GP or suggesting a referral to a cardiologist. In the rare case of an emergency, I will contact the relevant services for you.
