Heart and Lung Check
This session builds on the components of the heart check to also ascertain the condition of an employee’s lungs.
Whilst this is of particular importance for smokers, passive smokers and those working in hazardous environments, it is advisable that everyone is aware of their risk from respiratory problems such as asthma.
In addition to the tests performed as part of our heart check, we measure:
Lung function/performance by ascertaining capacity and air flow.
Red blood cell count, which helps to identify related issues such as anaemia.
Carbon monoxide levels – vital for smokers and passive smokers.
The results of these tests enable us to calculate cardiovascular and respiratory risk. Those employees facing higher levels of risk will then receive practical advice on how they can improve their cardiovascular and respiratory health.
Test Duration: Approximately 1 hour.
