WHY EARLY DETECTION MATTERS
What It Is
A consultant led assessment of your heart health that looks at how the heart works electrically & structurally. It measures fitness, lung function and the inherited markers that routine cholesterol testing does not capture. It is not a response to symptoms. It is a way of knowing where you stand while there is still time to act on it.
PROTECT YOUR FUTURE
Why It Matters
Heart disease develops quietly. Raised blood pressure, hidden irregular beats, plaque and metabolic dysfunction can all progress for years without a symptom.
Know your risk
Identify problems while they are still reversible
Benchmark fitness, heart structure and cardiac markers
Make prevention decisions from evidence rather than averages
SUITABILITY
Is a Heart Health Assessment Right For You?
We are not an emergency service. We are not an emergency service. If you have active cardiac symptoms or suspect an emergency, call 999 or attend A and E immediately.
Well suited to:
Any adults with cardiovascular risk factors
A family history of heart disease
Anyone wanting a baseline to plan prevention
Those under sustained work or lifestyle pressure
Tracking fitness and metabolic health over years
Not right for:
You have active cardiac symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness or palpitations
You have unstable or worsening angina
You have recently fainted or blacked out
You need urgent assessment, which means a GP or A & E today
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Seven tests, across one visit
Everything happens in a single appointment, in this order. The only thing that leaves with you is the blood pressure monitor.
FIRST 45 MINUTES
With your GP
History, examination and the samples taken.
Advanced heart biomarker blood tests
The inherited risk including ApoB and Lipoprotein (A)
Body composition scan
Visceral fat around the organs, not just total weight

Heart size, valve function and pumping strength
Spirometry
Whether lung function is supporting the heart

THE NEXT 24 HOURS
At home, with you
Carried out on site, straight afterwards.
24-hour blood pressure monitoring
If required, readings every 30 minutes through a normal day and overnight
3-5 days after
Cardiologist Review
Carried out on site - specific to you.
Consultant cardiology review
You spend 45 minutes with your cardiologist going through the results, asking questions and understanding your individual risk. If medications are required, they are started and a follow up plan made
Do you need CT calcium scoring?
Not everyone does, which is why it sits outside the package. Your cardiologist recommends it only where your results, family history or risk profile justify deeper coronary imaging, so you are not scanned or exposed to radiation without reason.

WHAT PATIENTS SAY
Trusted by families across Yorkshire
I have now met a number of the team and they are so professional, compassionate, and incredibly efficient. They take the time to listen, explain, and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
I've seen them go the extra mile in my care a number of times. It’s rare to find healthcare that feels this personal and this high‑quality.

As a CEO in a fast-paced, time-demanding industry, I’ve tried several health screening services, but The Private Doctors in Leeds stand out.
They offered a far deeper level of insight, with privacy, comfort, and genuine understanding at the core. What really impressed me was the aftercare; once my health was assessed, they supported me with a clear, ongoing programme.

What an absolutely amazing practice. Dr Anna was so compassionate and listened to my wife’s worry’s. She had her bloods tested and received the results rapidly and efficiently, which has really helped her understand what is going on with her health. I recommend this service highly and will be advising my own clients to use it. Fantastic!

EVERYTHING ANSWERED
Commonly Asked Questions
How is this different from an NHS health check?
An NHS health check looks at risk factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol and weight. This assessment measures heart function, fitness, metabolic health and inherited risk directly, and gives you a cardiologist's interpretation and a written prevention plan rather than a risk score.
Why is CT calcium scoring not included as standard?
Because it is not appropriate for everyone. Your cardiologist reviews your results, family history and risk profile and recommends it only where it is clinically warranted, which avoids unnecessary scanning and radiation exposure. Where it is recommended, it is £950.
Who should consider a heart health assessment?
Adults from around forty with cardiovascular risk factors such as raised blood pressure or cholesterol, a smoking history, family history of early heart disease or a sedentary lifestyle, and anyone who wants a measured baseline to plan prevention from.
What happens after the assessment?
You receive a written report with results, interpretation and recommendations. At the follow-up your cardiologist and GP go through what the numbers mean and agree a prevention plan with you, which may involve lifestyle change, monitoring, medication or further testing.
Can the consultations be virtual?
The initial GP consultation can be at the clinic, by video or at your home. The cardiac testing must be in person at the clinic, and the follow-up with the cardiologist and GP together is also in person.
What if something concerning is found?
It is explained clearly and a plan is agreed with you. Finding subclinical disease early is the point of the assessment, and it gives you time to act before problems become serious.
Can I claim on private health insurance?
We are a self-pay practice and do not bill insurers directly. Itemised receipts are provided for every appointment and investigation, which you can submit to your insurer depending on your policy.
