Heart Risk Assessment

Not everyone with risk factors needs a scan. Not everyone who feels well is in the clear. The difficulty is telling which is which — and that is exactly what a proper cardiac risk assessment is for.

Coronary artery disease can build silently over years. Family history, raised cholesterol or blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and age all raise the risk quietly, and a healthy lifestyle doesn't fully cancel them out. But risk factors alone don't tell you where you stand — only a specialist assessment can do that.

At WellHeart, a consultant cardiologist reviews your history and risk factors and determines what, if anything, is warranted. Where imaging is the right step, CT coronary angiography — a detailed scan of the heart's arteries — is carried out and reported by our consultant cardiac radiologist, whose field is precisely this: reading these scans to tell the arteries that need attention from those that don't.

You receive a clear picture of your personal risk and a proportionate plan — reassurance where that's the honest answer, action where it's warranted. Not a scan sold to everyone. A specialist judgement about what your heart actually needs.
