About This Package

Why Proactive Cardiac Screening Matters

Most serious cardiovascular events — heart attacks, strokes, sudden cardiac death — do not arrive without warning. They arrive after years of silent, progressive changes to your heart's structure, arterial health, and vascular system. These changes rarely cause noticeable symptoms until they reach a critical threshold.

Our cardiovascular screening package provides a complete picture of your cardiac and vascular health in a single visit, combining three complementary diagnostic assessments that together cover what no single test can address alone. All scans are performed by HCPC-registered specialist sonographers using high-resolution GE ultrasound equipment.

Symptoms that warrant assessment
  • Palpitations, racing, or irregular heartbeat.
  • Unexplained breathlessness during normal activity.
  • Chest tightness, pressure, or discomfort.
  • Dizziness or light-headedness without obvious cause.
  • Ankle or leg swelling (potential sign of reduced cardiac function).
  • Family history of sudden cardiac death before age 60.
  • Elevated blood pressure or cholesterol on recent tests.
Package Contents

What Is Included in the Cardiovascular Screening Package?

Three complementary assessments — cardiac structure, arterial health, and aortic risk — delivered in a single 60–90 minute appointment.

Private echocardiogram London
Cardiac Ultrasound

Echocardiogram

A detailed ultrasound of the heart assessing cardiac chambers, valves, wall motion, and ejection fraction. The gold-standard investigation for heart murmurs, palpitations, cardiomyopathy, and breathlessness. Also available as a standalone appointment.

Carotid Doppler scan London
Arterial Imaging

Carotid Artery Scan

Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries measuring arterial wall thickness (intima-media thickness) and detecting atherosclerotic plaque — a strong independent predictor of stroke and future cardiovascular events. Also available as a standalone appointment.

Aortic aneurysm screening London
Aortic Screening

AAA Screening

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening — a quick, painless ultrasound that measures the diameter of the aorta. Recommended for men over 65 and anyone with a family history of aortic aneurysm or cardiovascular risk factors. Also available as a standalone appointment.

Who Should Book

Who Should Consider Cardiovascular Screening?

This package is designed for adults who want a comprehensive, proactive assessment of their cardiovascular health — particularly those with risk factors that increase the likelihood of silent cardiovascular disease.

Recommended for
  • Adults aged 40+ with no previous cardiac assessment.
  • Anyone with a family history of heart disease or stroke.
  • Patients with elevated blood pressure or cholesterol.
  • Current or former smokers.
  • Men over 65 (AAA screening is NHS-recommended for this group).
  • Anyone experiencing palpitations, breathlessness, or chest discomfort.
  • Patients seeking a second opinion or pre-operative cardiac assessment.
Preparation

How to Prepare for Your Cardiovascular Screening

On the day of your appointment
  • Avoid a heavy meal for 2–3 hours before the echocardiogram (light snacks are fine).
  • No fasting is required for the carotid or AAA scan components.
  • Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to the chest and abdomen.
  • Bring any previous ECG results, echocardiograms, or cardiac reports if available.
  • Arrive 5 minutes before your appointment time.
  • You may bring a companion to your appointment.
How It Works

What Happens at Your Cardiovascular Screening Appointment

1Arrival & Clinical History

Our specialist sonographer takes a brief clinical history, including your symptoms, risk factors, family history, and any previous cardiac investigations. This ensures the examination is tailored to your clinical picture.

2Echocardiogram

Gel is applied to your chest and the sonographer performs a systematic assessment of your heart using a high-resolution GE ultrasound probe — assessing chambers, valves, wall motion, and ejection fraction.

3Carotid & AAA Scan

The carotid arteries in the neck are assessed using Doppler ultrasound, followed by an abdominal scan to measure the aortic diameter. Both assessments are quick and painless.

4Immediate Feedback & Written Report

Your sonographer provides immediate verbal feedback covering all three assessments. A comprehensive written report with risk stratification is emailed within 24 hours and can be shared with your GP or cardiologist.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GP referral for the cardiovascular screening package?

No. You can self-refer directly online or by calling 020 3633 4902. No GP referral is required for any of our cardiovascular scans or screening packages.

Is this the same echocardiogram I would have on the NHS?

Yes. The echocardiogram performed at Sonoworld uses the same diagnostic ultrasound technology as NHS cardiac imaging departments. It is performed by an HCPC-registered specialist sonographer using high-resolution GE ultrasound equipment. The written report is clinically equivalent and accepted by NHS cardiologists and GPs.

How long does the cardiovascular screening appointment take?

The combined appointment typically takes 60–90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the echocardiogram. You will receive immediate verbal feedback at the end of the appointment.

How is this different from the stroke screening package?

The cardiovascular screening package focuses on cardiac structure (echocardiogram), carotid arterial health, and aortic aneurysm risk. The stroke screening package is specifically focused on cerebrovascular risk assessment. If you are unsure which package is right for you, call our team for advice.

Can I book the cardiovascular screening package for someone else?

Yes. You can book on behalf of a family member or partner. Please ensure the patient's details are entered correctly at the time of booking. The patient must attend in person for the scan.
