Why is this survey especially important now?
Cardiovascular diseases remain one of the main causes of serious complications worldwide. At the same time, many processes that lead to a heart attack or stroke develop gradually and may not manifest themselves for a long time.
High cholesterol, latent inflammation, changes in the functioning of the heart or blood vessels — all this can be detected long before the symptoms appear.
Many patients feel normal and are unaware of possible problems with the heart and blood vessels. However, factors such as stress, high pace of life, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, or metabolic changes can gradually increase the burden on the cardiovascular system.
This is why the risk of stroke and heart attack is screened — a comprehensive examination that helps assess the state of the cardiovascular system and identify potential risks at an early stage.
Comprehensive diagnostics helps:
- identify risk factors for stroke and heart attack
- assess the condition of the heart and blood vessels
- detect hidden inflammatory processes
- check cholesterol levels and metabolic parameters
- adjust your lifestyle or treatment in time
An integrated approach of two specialists
Screening is carried out at the Kandinsky Clinic jointly by a cardiologist and a neurologist.
This interdisciplinary approach makes it possible to assess not only the functioning of the heart, but also the condition of blood vessels and the nervous system, which are directly related to the risk of stroke.
During the consultation, doctors analyze the research results, evaluate individual risk factors, and make recommendations for prevention.
When should I get screened?
It is recommended to undergo an examination if:
- are you over 35-40 years old
- there is an increased pressure
- high cholesterol
- there is a hereditary predisposition to heart attack or stroke
- are you experiencing high levels of stress or chronic fatigue
- do you want to check the condition of the heart and blood vessels as part of prevention
Timely diagnosis helps identify risks and take action before serious symptoms appear.
