Questions about this test
Do I need to fast for a heart check-up?
Some cholesterol and sugar tests are done after fasting, often for 8 to 12 hours. Ask the hospital whether your package needs fasting.
Can a heart check-up rule out heart attack risk?
No check-up can rule out all risk. It helps find common risk factors that can be managed.
What should I do if I have chest pain?
Chest pain needs urgent medical attention, not a routine check-up. Go to the emergency department straight away.
