Heart Screening

Why should we go for a heart screening?

Do you know coronary heart disease and stroke together is the number one killer in Singapore?

One in five people has coronary heart disease and one in 24 suffers from stroke.Are you at risk of getting coronary heart disease?

The risks are higher if you are older age, male gender/ postmenopausal woman or have a bad family history.

What do I hope to achieve by having a heart screening?

For heart health assessment, we evaluate your global risks which include your weight, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood lipids, blood glucose, smoking and stress level. In addition we also do a complete wellness assessment.

What makes Dr Tan different from rest of the heart specialist?

Legendary Chinese Yellow Emperor clearly stated about 2500 years ago that a “Superior” doctor is the one who prevents illnesses rather than treats illnesses. I concur with this ancient wisdom totally. A superior doctor will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the frame of mind in diet, exercise, cause and prevention of disease.

I aspire to be a superior doctor. I always keep an open mind. I continue to explore and learn both contemporary and complimentary alternative medicine to health so that I can provide better care for my patients. I believe in combining western and eastern wisdom in disease prevention.

Live according to your “body clock”, eat with knowledge and awareness, and include meditation and Qi Kong as part of your routine exercise will greatly improve your health.

Over the years, I have adopted this philosophy and have helped many patients in regaining their health through personalized healthcare management.

Please allow me to show with you some of my patient’s testimonials and experience.
