The heart health check

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Australia. Many heart attacks and strokes can be prevented through healthy behaviours like following a heart-healthy eating pattern, being active, maintaining a healthy weight and being smoke-free.

Many people may not know their risk of developing heart disease, especially since you often can't feel risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol.

1.4 million Australians have a high chance of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 5 years. Many are unaware of the risk!

A heart health check is a free check-up of your overall health; it will tell us if you are at risk of getting certain health problems later in life, such as:

1. Heart Disease
2. Stroke
3. Diabetes

If you are aged over 30-74 years old you are generally eligible for one.

 The check takes 20-30 minutes and usually includes:

1.         Measuring your height and weight

2.         Blood Pressure Test

3.         Blood Test
