Why Are Cardiac Tests Important?
Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in Singapore, often developing silently over years. Many people don’t realise they’re at risk until they experience a heart attack, stroke, or severe chest pain.
That’s why routine heart and cardiac testing is essential for early detection, especially if you have risk factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of cardiovascular disease.
At Regis Medical, we offer fast, accurate heart screening panels that assess your cardiovascular risk—so you can take proactive steps toward a healthier heart.
What Do Heart & Cardiac Tests Check For?
Cardiac tests look for warning signs of heart disease and measure how well your heart and blood vessels are functioning.
Our standard panel includes:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG): Measures electrical activity of the heart, detects irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) or past heart attacks
- Cholesterol & Lipid Profile: Total cholesterol, LDL (“bad” cholesterol), HDL (“good” cholesterol), triglycerides
- Blood Pressure Measurement – at rest and optionally with 24-hour monitoring
- HbA1c or Fasting Glucose: To assess risk from diabetes
- High-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP): A marker of inflammation linked to cardiovascular risk
- Cardiac Enzymes (if symptomatic): Troponin, CK-MB – may be ordered in chest pain or emergency scenarios
- Chest X-ray / Echocardiogram: Referral available for further evaluation
Who Should Get Heart Screening?
You should consider cardiac testing if you:
- Are aged 40 and above (even with no symptoms)
- Have a family history of heart disease or stroke
- Are managing high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol
- Experience symptoms like chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations, or dizziness
- Smoke or have a sedentary lifestyle
- Are overweight or have a high BMI
- Are starting a new exercise program or fitness routine
Early Symptoms of Heart Problems
Many people don’t feel unwell—but some may notice:
- Chest discomfort or tightness
- Breathlessness, even with mild activity
- Unexplained fatigue
- Irregular heartbeat or skipped beats
- Swollen ankles or legs
- Light-headedness or fainting
- Discomfort in the jaw, neck, back, or arms
If you’re unsure, a quick screening can offer clarity and peace of mind.

This test monitors your heart while you walk or jog on a treadmill, gradually increasing speed and incline. It checks how your heart responds to exertion and can help reveal coronary artery disease that may not show up at rest.
