Cardiovascular screening

The importance of cardiovascular screening is vital in determining the ideal type and intensity of your cardio exercise regimen. Utilising the same sophisticated testing techniques as those used for professional athletes, our experts carry out an initial ECG (electrocardiogram) to assess cardiac activity during physical exertion – a critical factor in determining your maximum exercise potential.

Under the guidance of Prof. Michael Papadakis, our team is equipped to assist both recreational and professional athletes dealing with a range of heart conditions, such as cardiac arrhythmias, coronary heart disease, myocarditis, and cardiac insufficiency, among others.

Beyond creating an appropriate exercise schedule, our commitment extends to providing support to our patients during physically demanding events such as marathons and high-altitude expeditions.

Whether you are an athlete with optimal heart health, an individual managing high-blood pressure, or an active person dealing with a heart condition, we provide ‘best in class’ tailored care and treatment, attuned to your unique needs.
