Health Screening
Heart, vascular and metabolic screening: start with your risk profile
Major Korean screening centers offer cardiovascular and metabolic-focused programs, but the most appropriate tests depend on age, symptoms, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking history, family history and previous cardiovascular disease.
Core metabolic assessment
Often includes:
- blood pressure
- fasting glucose and/or HbA1c
- lipid profile
- liver function
- kidney function
- body weight and waist circumference
- body composition where available
Cardiovascular testing
Depending on the program and risk:
- ECG
- exercise testing
- echocardiography
- carotid ultrasound
- coronary calcium / CT-based assessment
- other vascular studies
Brain / cerebrovascular screening
Some premium or intensive programs include brain MRI/MRA or carotid imaging. These tests should be considered in context. Routine advanced neuroimaging in every asymptomatic person may identify incidental findings that require further evaluation.
What to prepare
- blood pressure history
- diabetes history
- cholesterol results
- smoking history
- chest pain, breathlessness or exercise symptoms
- family history of early heart disease or stroke
- current medications
If you already have active chest pain, neurological symptoms, or other concerning symptoms, this is not a screening situation and urgent medical evaluation may be needed.
