Heart Check-up in Hyderabad
Heart disease in India tends to strike about a decade earlier than in the West, often in people in their 40s who felt perfectly well. A heart check-up looks at the risk factors you can control and at how the heart itself is working.

About Heart Check-up
Most heart attacks are caused by cholesterol plaque building up in the arteries over many years. The main drivers are well known: high LDL cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, excess weight and inactivity. Blood tests show the first two clearly and long before they cause symptoms.
Tests of the heart itself include the ECG, which records its electrical rhythm; the 2D echo, an ultrasound showing the heart's pumping strength and valves; and the treadmill test (TMT), which checks for reduced blood flow when the heart works harder.
A check-up does not replace a cardiologist when you have symptoms. Chest pain, pressure or breathlessness at rest is a medical emergency and needs immediate care, not a routine appointment.
Who should get tested
- Adults over 35, or earlier with risk factors, for a baseline check
- Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or a smoking habit
- A parent or sibling who had a heart attack before 55 (men) or 65 (women)
- Breathlessness, palpitations or chest discomfort on exertion (see a doctor first)
- Before starting a new, strenuous exercise programme in mid-life
- Follow-up of known heart conditions, as advised by your cardiologist

What the key tests tell you
- Lipid profile
- Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides. LDL is the main target of treatment; non-HDL cholesterol gives a fuller risk picture.
- HbA1c and fasting sugar
- Diabetes roughly doubles heart risk, so sugar control is part of every heart check.
- hs-CRP, homocysteine and lipoprotein(a)
- Additional markers of inflammation and inherited lipid risk, helpful in people with a strong family history.
- ECG
- A quick recording of the heart's rhythm that can show past damage, strain or rhythm problems.
- 2D echo
- An ultrasound of the heart showing chamber size, pumping strength (ejection fraction) and valve function.
- TMT (treadmill test)
- An ECG recorded during exercise to detect reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
Before your test
- Fast for 10–12 hours before a lipid profile; water is allowed.
- For a TMT, wear comfortable shoes and loose clothing, eat only a light meal two hours before, and ask your doctor about any heart medicines.
- No preparation is needed for an ECG or 2D echo.
- Bring previous ECGs and reports for comparison.
Understanding your results
Cholesterol targets depend on your overall risk. Someone with diabetes or known heart disease needs a much lower LDL than a healthy young adult. Your doctor uses your results, blood pressure and history to estimate risk and decide on treatment.
A normal ECG at rest does not rule out blocked arteries. If symptoms suggest heart disease, a TMT or further cardiac evaluation may be recommended.

Heart Check-up: frequently asked questions
What is included in a heart check-up at Focus Diagnostics?
Cardiac packages typically include a lipid profile, sugar tests, thyroid and kidney checks, ECG and 2D echo, with TMT in the advanced versions. See the packages listed on this page for exact inclusions.
How often should I check my cholesterol?
Every four to six years for healthy adults, and at least once a year if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or are on cholesterol medicine.
Is a TMT safe?
It is safe for most people and is done under supervision. Your doctor decides whether it is suitable, especially if you have chest pain at rest or certain heart conditions.
Can a heart check-up detect a future heart attack?
No test predicts a heart attack with certainty, but a check-up finds the risk factors that cause most of them, so they can be treated early.
