Cardiovascular Screening



Tests are conducted by a qualified Exercise Physiologist specialised in the area of cardiovascular disease and health management. A 15 min health screen involves taking a quick finger prick test to obtain cholesterol and blood sugar results. Blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, family history, smoking and activity status are also discussed. A printed report comparing the participant’s current health status (as matched against somebody of the same age and sex) is then provided. Results are discussed with the physiologist and guidance is given where appropriate, to support positive lifestyle changes that will ultimately affect long term health outcomes.

Fasting is not required, but it is preferable not to have recently consumed caffeine, fizzy drinks or sugary snacks 2 hours prior to the test

Cardiovascular Disease Statistics

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the term used for heart, stroke and blood vessel diseases. It is the leading cause of death in Australia, accounting for 34% of all deaths in Australia in 2006. Cardiovascular disease kills one Australian nearly every 10 minutes. Cardiovascular disease is one of Australia's largest health problems. Despite improvements over the last few decades, it remains one of the biggest burdens on our economy.

Cardiovascular disease:
  • is heart, stroke and blood vessel disease

  • kills one Australian nearly every 10 minutes

  • affects more than 3.5 million Australians

  • prevents 1.4 million people from living a full life because of disability caused by the disease

  • affects one in five Australians, and affects two out of three families

  • Claimed the lives of almost 46,000 Australians (34% of all deaths) in 2006 - deaths that are largely preventable.

    • Physical Activity

    Being physically active is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Physical activity provides a range of health benefits at any age. And the good news is activity doesn't have to be vigorous - moderate activity, such as brisk walking, is great for your health!

    The Heart Foundation recommends that people do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on all or most days of the week. You can do this in bouts of 10 minutes or more if it is more convenient.

    Exercise programs

    Most people know that regular physical activity is good for their health. But you don't have to exercise at a vigorous level to achieve health benefits. Check out some of our great aerobic classes, held daily at the Gallery 4o2
