Preventive cardiovascular screenings will start in six locations in Budapest, Szeged, Dunaújváros, Pécs, Gyula and Szolnok this month. 360 people are expected at the screening points. Patients are kindly asked not to eat breakfast, to arrive on an empty stomach at the time indicated, and to bring a sandwich and something to drink.
Unfortunately, there are several occasions when you are unable to attend, in these cases, fairness dictates, and we ask that you let us know at the email address provided. If this is done in a timely manner, others could be invited to the screenings.
We welcome applications from people who have not had a lab test for at least 5 years and are not under cardiological treatment.
Our cardiovascular screening is progressing steadily, so come with your family or friends! This year we are focusing on high cholesterol, but we will look at your other parameters, ECG, blood sugar, body mass index, blood pressure.
And why is this important?
Screening programmes can help reduce deaths from disease, as screening can detect disease much earlier than without screening. Patients who are screened and diagnosed early can often benefit from treatment with significantly better chances of cure or survival. We are symptom-free, but there are some diseases that have no symptoms at all, or we may have symptoms but ignore them. Yet early detection can save lives.
