Many people wait until symptoms appear before visiting a cardiologist. But in heart health, prevention is the best medicine. A heart checkup isn’t just for older adults or those with existing conditions—it’s a way to catch silent risks before they become serious.
Who Should Get a Checkup?
- Adults over 40
- People with a family history of heart disease
- Those with obesity, diabetes, or high blood pressure
- Athletes starting intense training
- Anyone feeling unexplained fatigue, palpitations, or shortness of breath
What Does a Heart Checkup Include?
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)

What If I Have No Symptoms?
Atherosclerosis—the buildup of plaque in arteries—can progress silently for years. In many cases, the first sign of heart disease is a heart attack. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
