About Risk Assessment

Why assess your cardiovascular risk?

Many cardiac conditions develop silently over years, influenced by factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, activity levels, and family history. A proactive risk assessment identifies these factors early — often before symptoms appear — allowing for targeted prevention rather than reactive treatment.

Dr Kamal Khan takes a comprehensive, personalised approach to cardiovascular risk, combining clinical assessment with practical, achievable lifestyle guidance and, where appropriate, preventive medication.

What happens at your appointment

Dr Khan will review your medical and family history, lifestyle, and any existing risk factors, alongside blood pressure measurement and blood tests. This gives a clear, individualised picture of your cardiovascular risk profile.

Together, you'll agree a practical plan — which may include lifestyle changes, preventive medication, or further investigation — with ongoing monitoring to track your progress over time.
