Hi, I’m Dr. Benji Lim. Many patients ask me, “Do I really need a heart checkup Singapore clinic screening?” The truth is, many heart problems develop silently in the early stages. You may feel fine, but hidden risk factors like high blood pressure or cholesterol could still threaten your health.

A heart checkup Singapore program helps detect problems early before they cause symptoms or serious events like heart attacks. Early detection saves lives and provides peace of mind.

Who Should Get Screened?

You may benefit from a heart checkup if you:

  • Have high blood pressure

  • Have high cholesterol

  • Have diabetes

  • Have a family history of heart disease

  • Are over 40 years old (especially men and post-menopausal women)

What Does Screening Include?

Screening is simple and painless. It often includes:

  • A detailed consultation and physical exam

  • Blood pressure measurement

  • Blood tests and ECG

  • A stress test to see how your heart performs with exercise

If needed, we may recommend further tests such as:

  • Ultrasound scan of the heart (to check function and valves)

  • CT scan (to detect blockages in the arteries)

Why Prevention Matters

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in Singapore. A routine heart checkup helps you understand your risks, improve lifestyle choices, and receive timely treatment if needed.

The key thing to remember is: prevention is better than cure. A simple heart checkup Singapore service can guide you towards better long-term health.

If you’re unsure whether you need screening, speak to your doctor or cardiologist. Taking action early could protect your future health — and save your life. PRIME
