CaRi-Heart® Technology

The London General Practice offers advanced technology designed to assess your risk of developing a serious heart condition or experiencing a heart attack, potentially years before symptoms or complications arise.

The World Heart Federation states that 80% of heart disease and stroke is preventable

Advancing heart attack prevention

Heart attacks can affect both men and women at any age. If you have a personal or family history of heart disease, you may be concerned about having a higher risk.

A heart attack can occur when an artery becomes narrowed or blocked, restricting blood flow to the heart. CaRi-Heart® technology measures inflammation in the blood vessels surrounding the heart and identifies arteries that may be more likely to narrow or become blocked in the future.

Your CaRi-Heart® results can indicate whether you have an increased risk of heart disease. If the analysis identifies a concerning result, you may be referred to one of our cardiologists for a personalised prevention and management plan.

CaRi-Heart® FAQ

Closed
Can I refer myself for CaRi-Heart® analysis?
Currently, you cannot self-refer for CaRi-Heart® analysis. You will need a referral from a GP or cardiologist. CaRi-Heart® analysis is intended for people considered to be at high risk of a heart attack or coronary artery disease (CAD).
How can I book a CaRi-Heart® scan?
We have a dedicated clinical team of cardiac radiographers who will manage your appointment once we have received your referral from your GP or consultant. This means that they can answer any questions you might have about the scan and your results before booking you in.
