Comprehensive Health Check-up (BASIC / COMPLEX / EXCLUSIVE)

Centrum kardiovaskulární péče in Brno offers three tiers of self-pay comprehensive health check-up built around its core strength — the heart. Every package starts with a thorough internist examination and includes cardiac diagnostics that most general check-ups skip: a resting ECG and an echocardiogram performed at a specialist cardiovascular centre led by doc. MUDr. Martin Fiala, Ph.D. The BASIC tier adds baseline blood tests and InBody body composition analysis; COMPLEX upgrades to a wide blood panel including oncology markers plus an ergometry exercise stress test; EXCLUSIVE adds abdominal ultrasound, a nutrition therapist consultation, and a physiotherapy assessment for a genuinely head-to-toe preventive review. No GP referral is needed and results feed into an individual prevention plan.

A preventive health check-up is most valuable when it is anchored in the organ system responsible for the largest share of premature deaths — the cardiovascular system. The check-up packages at Centrum kardiovaskulární péče (CKP) in Brno are designed by cardiologists, which sets them apart from generic corporate screening: cardiac imaging and exercise testing are not optional add-ons but core components. **BASIC — 6,900 Kč:** A comprehensive examination by an internal medicine physician (history, physical examination, risk-factor review), basic laboratory blood tests, a resting 12-lead ECG, an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart assessing chamber sizes, valve function, and pumping performance), and InBody bioimpedance body composition analysis measuring muscle mass, body fat, and visceral fat. This tier is a strong annual baseline for adults who want physician-level cardiac screening rather than a numbers-only blood test. **COMPLEX — 14,900 Kč:** Everything in BASIC, with the laboratory work expanded to a comprehensive panel that includes oncological (tumour) markers, plus ergometry — a bicycle exercise stress test with continuous ECG and blood-pressure monitoring that can reveal exertional ischaemia, blood-pressure dysregulation, and arrhythmias that a resting ECG cannot detect. **EXCLUSIVE — 19,900 Kč:** The most complete tier adds an abdominal ultrasound (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, aorta), a structured interview with a nutrition therapist, and a physiotherapy examination of the musculoskeletal system. The result is a multidisciplinary report combining internal medicine, cardiology, imaging, laboratory medicine, nutrition, and movement assessment. **Why have it done at a cardiovascular centre:** CKP's team has worked in interventional cardiology since 1993 and treats complex arrhythmias daily. If the check-up uncovers a finding — a murmur, an abnormal stress test, an arrhythmia on ECG — the follow-up diagnostics (Holter monitoring, spiroergometry, tilt-table testing) and, where needed, definitive treatment are available in-house rather than via a months-long referral chain. **Practicalities:** The check-up takes place at the Neuron Medical Centrum outpatient clinic in Campus Science Park, Brno-Starý Lískovec, with free parking for the first three hours. Fasting before the blood draw is recommended; bring any previous medical reports and a list of medications. Results are discussed with the physician and summarised into an individual prevention plan with concrete recommendations.
