Risk Factors
Who Should Get a Heart Screening?
A heart check-up is recommended for anyone with cardiovascular risk factors, but even individuals without obvious risks can benefit from a baseline assessment.
Consider screening if you…
- Are aged 40 or above
- Have a family history of heart disease, heart attack, or sudden cardiac death
- Have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes
- Are a current or former smoker
- Have a sedentary lifestyle or are overweight
- Experience occasional chest discomfort, breathlessness, or palpitations
- Are in a high-stress occupation
- Are an athlete wanting cardiac clearance
Good to know
- No referral is needed. You can book a screening directly
- A baseline screening at age 40 establishes your personal reference values
- If your results are normal, repeat screening every 2–3 years
- Higher-risk individuals may benefit from annual screening
- Your cardiologist will recommend a personalised schedule based on your results

Understanding Heart Screening
What Is a Heart Screening?
A heart screening (also called a cardiac screening or heart check-up) is a series of tests designed to evaluate your cardiovascular health before symptoms appear. Unlike a general health screening, a dedicated heart screening uses cardiac-specific blood markers, imaging, and functional tests to build a comprehensive picture of your heart’s structure, blood supply, electrical activity, and rhythm.
Many heart conditions — including coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and cardiomyopathy — develop silently over years without noticeable symptoms. Early detection through screening allows for timely intervention, lifestyle changes, and medical treatment that can significantly reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Beyond the Baseline
Heart Screening Tests Explained
Understand what each diagnostic test measures and why it matters for your heart health.
ECG (Electrocardiogram)
A quick, painless recording of your heart’s electrical activity. Detects irregular rhythms, signs of previous heart attack, and structural changes. Takes under 5 minutes.
Treadmill Stress Test
Monitors your ECG, heart rate, and blood pressure while you walk on a treadmill at increasing speed and incline. Reveals exercise-induced ischaemia or arrhythmias that may not appear at rest.
Transthoracic Echocardiogram
A real-time ultrasound of the heart that provides a moving, structural picture of your heart valves and pumping function. Non-invasive and takes approximately 20–30 minutes.
Coronary Calcium Score
A low-dose CT scan that quantifies calcified plaque in your coronary arteries. A score of zero suggests minimal plaque buildup. Quick, non-invasive, and takes about 10 minutes.
CT Coronary Angiogram (CTCA)
A detailed CT scan that visualises the exact plaque buildup and blockages in the arteries supplying your heart. Provides a non-invasive alternative to catheter-based angiography for many patients.
Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT)
An ultrasound of the neck arteries that measures arterial wall thickness. Thickening is an early marker of atherosclerosis and correlates with increased cardiovascular and stroke risk.

Common Questions
Heart Screening FAQ
How much does a heart screening cost in Singapore?
Our heart screening packages range from $368 for a baseline package (blood panel, ECG, and treadmill stress test) to $1,768 for a full cardiac assessment that includes comprehensive blood work, ECG, transthoracic echocardiogram, coronary calcium score, CT coronary angiogram, and carotid ultrasound. The cost depends on the number and complexity of tests included. All prices shown are NETT and inclusive of 9% GST.
Which packages are available at each location?
The Basic and Plus packages are available at both our Orchard (Camden) and Jurong clinics. The Advanced, Comprehensive, and Full Heart Check-Up packages — which include CT calcium score and/or CT coronary angiogram — are available at our Orchard clinic only, where CT imaging is performed at the ATA Medical suite adjacent to the clinic.
What does a heart screening consist of?
A heart screening typically includes a comprehensive blood panel covering cardiovascular risk markers (lipid profile, ApoB, hsCRP, Lp(a)), metabolic health (fasting glucose, HbA1c), and organ function (liver, kidney, thyroid, full blood count). Higher-tier packages add a resting ECG, treadmill stress test, transthoracic echocardiogram, coronary calcium score CT, CT coronary angiogram, and a carotid intima-media thickness ultrasound. Every package also includes one consultation and one post-screening review with Dr Paul Lim to discuss your results.
How long does a heart screening take?
A baseline heart screening visit (blood panel, ECG, and treadmill stress test) takes approximately 60–90 minutes. A comprehensive or full heart screening — which adds cardiac imaging and CT coronary angiography — is completed in a single clinic visit of 3–4 hours. All tests are done under one roof. Results are reviewed with your doctor within 7 working days.
Can I use MediSave for heart screening?
Preventive health screening packages are generally not claimable under MediSave, as MediSave is reserved for treatment of diagnosed conditions. However, if a screening detects a condition that requires further investigation or treatment, those subsequent diagnostic tests and treatments may be MediSave-claimable. Our clinic team can advise you on the specifics.
What is the difference between a basic and full heart screening?
A basic heart screening ($368) includes a comprehensive blood panel, a resting ECG, and a treadmill stress test — covering cardiovascular risk, metabolic health, organ function, and exercise-induced changes. A full heart screening ($1,768) includes the comprehensive blood panel, ECG, transthoracic echocardiogram, coronary calcium score CT, CT coronary angiogram (CTCA), and a carotid intima-media thickness ultrasound — providing a complete picture of your heart’s structure and blood supply.
Who should get a heart screening?
A heart screening is recommended for adults over 40, or earlier if you have risk factors such as a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, or a sedentary lifestyle. Athletes and individuals in high-stress occupations may also benefit from cardiac screening to detect silent conditions.
Do I need a referral for a heart screening?
No referral is needed. You can book a heart screening directly with our clinic. During your visit, a cardiologist will review your medical history and risk factors to recommend the most appropriate screening package for you.
How often should I get a heart screening?
For individuals with no known heart conditions, a baseline heart screening is recommended at age 40, with follow-up screenings every 2–3 years. If you have risk factors (family history, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, or smoking), annual screenings may be advised. Your cardiologist will recommend a personalised schedule based on your results and risk profile.
Is a heart screening the same as a health screening?
A general health screening covers a broad range of tests including blood counts, liver and kidney function, cancer markers, and basic cardiovascular markers. A dedicated heart screening goes deeper into cardiac-specific tests — additional lipid markers (ApoB, Lp(a)), cardiac imaging (transthoracic echocardiogram, calcium score, CTCA), and functional testing (treadmill stress test) — providing a far more detailed picture of your cardiovascular health.
What is a coronary calcium score?
A coronary calcium score is a low-dose CT scan that measures the amount of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. A score of zero suggests no detectable plaque buildup. Higher scores indicate greater plaque burden and correlate with increased cardiovascular risk. It is a quick, non-invasive test that takes about 10 minutes and helps guide decisions about preventive treatment.
