Cardiovascular health matters
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in New Zealand, with around 1 in 20 Kiwis living with cardiovascular disease. Many heart conditions develop slowly, often without obvious symptoms. Regular cardiovascular check-ups are essential for maintaining your heart health, managing existing conditions, and ensuring your heart stays in shape
Common conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes can significantly impact your heart’s health. Our GPs and clinical team offer cardiovascular services to help you lead your best life.
If you are experiencing chest discomfort, shortness of breath, dizziness, unusual fatigue, irregular heartbeat or rhythm call 111.

- Cardiovascular monitoring: This includes regular reviews of your health including blood pressure, and blood tests. Frequency is dependent on your individual needs
- Cardiovascular assessment: This includes a review of your medical history, lifestyle factors and your potential risks for heart disease. Additional testing, monitoring and support are dependent on your individual needs
When to get a cardiovascular check-up?
