• Chest CT (incl. Heart and Lungs): For a thorough check-up of your heart and lungs, a chest CT scan offers detailed images, allowing for early detection and improved treatment outcomes.
• Dobutamine Thallium Stress Test: Proactive prevention of heart disease begins with a dobutamine thallium stress test, which helps identify blockages in your heart's arteries before they cause significant problems.
• Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (PAD): Protecting your heart and legs starts with a PAD screening. This simple test can detect early signs of peripheral artery disease, leading to better management of your cardiovascular health.

• TCD Bubble Test: As part of your comprehensive preventative care, a TCD bubble test can be used to detect air bubbles in your blood that might indicate a serious underlying health issue, allowing for timely intervention.
• Cardioversion: If you experience irregular heartbeats, cardioversion may be recommended to restore a healthy rhythm and help prevent serious complications associated with heart conditions.
• Arrhythmia Screening: Protecting your heart starts with an arrhythmia screening, which helps identify and manage irregular heart rhythms to promote overall well-being.
