Heart Health Check

At Harbour Town Doctors, we customised your cardiovascular health and offer a range of services to ensure your heart stays in top condition. Our dedicated team of experienced health professionals are here to provide you with expert care and guidance on maintaining a healthy heart.

Our Heart Health Check services include:

Cardiac Risk Assessment: We assess your individual risk factors for heart disease, including family history, lifestyle, and medical history, to create a personalised heart health plan.

Blood Test: We offer range of blood tests to check for conditions that may directly or indirectly affect your heart health.

Blood Pressure Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood pressure to detect hypertension, a significant risk factor for heart disease.

Cholesterol Management: We provide guidance on managing cholesterol levels through dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, and medication when necessary.

Electrocardiogram (ECG): Non-invasive tests that record the electrical activity of your heart, helping identify irregularities or arrhythmias.

24-Hour Holter Monitoring: A Holter monitor is a small, battery-powered medical device that measures your heart’s activity. You wear the Holter monitor for 12 to 48 hours as you go about your normal daily routine. It can pick up not only your heart’s rate and rhythm but also when you feel chest pains or exhibit symptoms of an irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia.

Echocardiogram (ECHO) Scan: An echocardiogram scan may be requested by our doctor who may be concerned you might have a problem with your heart. An echocardiogram can help diagnose and monitor certain heart conditions. It checks the structure of the heart and surrounding blood vessels, analysing how blood flows through them, and assessing the pumping chambers of the heart.

Body Mass Index (BMI) Measurement: Evaluating your weight in relation to your height to determine if you are at a healthy weight.

Smoking Cessation Programs: If you smoke, our experienced doctors can assist you in quitting to reduce your risk of heart disease.

Education and Prevention: We believe that knowledge is the key to prevention. Our team will educate you about heart-healthy lifestyle choices, diet, exercise, and stress management to help you make informed decisions.

Dietitian and Exercise Physiologist:  You are eligible to get these services under Medicare (bulk billed) if you have got a chronic medical condition.

Medication Management: For those already diagnosed with heart conditions, we offer expert medication management and adjustments as needed.

Follow-Up Care: We believe in continuity of care and provide ongoing monitoring and support to ensure your heart health remains a top priority.

Your heart deserves the best care, and we are here to provide it. Schedule your Heart Health Check today and take the first step towards a healthier, happier life. Your heart matters to us!
