TESTS
Bowel Cancer Test
This detects the presence of blood in the stool and is
recommended for patients over the age of 45. For those
with a strong family history of bowel cancer, the option
of referral for a colonoscopy will be discussed and advised
upon where appropriate.
Exercise
Electrocardiogram
An exercise or stress electrocardiogram provides information
about the electrical conduction and blood flow of the heart
during exercise. As well as being an assessment of cardio-vascular
fitness, it particularly assists in the diagnosis of underlying
coronary artery disease, high blood pressure and irregular
heart rhythms.
This
test is recommended biennially in men over 45 years of age
and annually where there are significant cardiac risk factors
present. The results are reported on by a Consultant Cardiologist
with appropriate management advice.
