Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the UK and most people who suffer a heart attack or stroke had warning signs that could have been identified and acted on earlier. A cardiovascular risk assessment gives you a concrete number for your ten-year risk and a clear plan for reducing it.
At AristoGP, Dr Georgios Schoinas offers cardiovascular risk assessments as a focused 30-minute GP appointment. The assessment uses the validated Qrisk3 scoring tool, which incorporates your age, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes status, smoking history, family history and BMI to produce an evidence-based risk estimate.
What the Assessment Covers
- Blood pressure measurement reviewed in the context of home readings if available
- Full clinical history: Personal and family history of heart disease, stroke and diabetes
- Lifestyle assessment: Smoking, alcohol, exercise and stress
- BMI and waist circumference as independent cardiovascular risk factors
- Qrisk3 score: A validated ten-year cardiovascular risk percentage explained in plain language
- Cholesterol review: Incorporated if you have recent results, or a test arranged at the same visit
- Personalised risk reduction plan with specific, evidence-based recommendations
Who Should Have This Assessment?
- Men over 40 who have not had a cardiovascular risk assessment recently
- Women over 45 or post-menopause, when cardiovascular risk increases significantly
- Anyone with a first-degree relative who had a heart attack or stroke before age 60
- People with diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol
- Smokers or ex-smokers wanting to understand their current risk
