Chequeo Cardiologico

A focused cardiovascular screening combining stress testing, resting ECG, echocardiogram, and spirometry with Framingham risk calculation, targeted blood panel, and chest radiography. Designed to evaluate cardiac structure, function, and cardiovascular risk profile in a single visit with same-day results.

The Chequeo Cardiologico concentrates diagnostic resources on the cardiovascular system, providing a more detailed cardiac assessment than the general checkup programmes while remaining accessible at a lower price point. The programme is structured around three complementary evaluation methods: functional testing, structural imaging, and biochemical risk assessment. The stress test evaluates the heart's response to graded physical exertion, monitoring for ECG changes, blood pressure abnormalities, or symptoms that may indicate underlying ischaemic heart disease. The resting ECG provides baseline electrical activity data for comparison. The echocardiogram adds structural information — chamber dimensions, wall motion, valve function, and ejection fraction — that cannot be obtained from electrical recordings alone. Spirometry assesses pulmonary function, which is relevant both as an independent health measure and because respiratory limitations can confound stress test interpretation. The Framingham risk score calculation integrates age, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, smoking status, and diabetes history into a validated ten-year cardiovascular event probability estimate. The blood panel provides the biochemical inputs for this calculation alongside markers of metabolic health. A chest X-ray completes the structural assessment with a view of cardiac silhouette and thoracic anatomy. This programme is particularly suited to individuals with one or more cardiovascular risk factors — family history, borderline blood pressure or cholesterol, sedentary lifestyle, or smoking history — who want a focused cardiac evaluation rather than a broad general health screen.
