Cardiac health package

A healthy heart is fundamental to good health and there are many ways of ensuring that you have the best cardiac health and are free from anxiety about heart disease. This cost-effective package is designed to identify and correct any medical or lifestyle risk factors you have and to free you from anxiety. If any abnormality or risk is identified, you may be assured that AMC will deliver the most up to date care to minimise the risks.
During your Medical, certain factors may suggest that you should see a Cardiologist, have an echocardiogram and/or a stress test and, if your blood pressure is raised, a 24hr blood pressure recording. You may also be referred to a dietician. All of these are available through AMC and can be arranged by our Physicians. If you have insurance and some abnormality or risk is detected these extra tests are usually covered.
