Can heart problems be detected early
"Most heart attacks don't come with a warning. But what if you could see it coming? There are simple tests that can catch the risk early, before it's too late. Yet most people don't even know they exist," wrote Dr Naveen in his Instagram caption, highlighting the importance of early heart screening.
"Which tests can we get done? These are the tests that should be done as part of early screening," explains Dr Naveen. "Early screening ideally should be done, especially after the age of 30, to catch potential risks before they become serious problems."
Which tests should you get after 30
He further elaborates, “For example, your lipid profile, which includes lipoproteins that I frequently discuss. In addition, your ECG, blood sugar, blood pressure, and echocardiography are crucial. These are the types of tests everyone should consider at this age to monitor heart health.”
"Getting these tests done is essential. If your results come back normal, you can schedule the next set of tests after three years, and then repeat them every two years thereafter," Dr Naveen advises, stressing that regular check-ups can make a significant difference in preventing heart-related complications.
