This information is being provided to you to consider having this test as an optional extra (cost).  My preferred method is to discuss this test with you on the day of your appointment & arrange (provide referral) to have it performed at a later date. It is a separate cost borne by you (unless you prearrange for your company to pay). To have it performed on the same day as your Exec Health Check usually requires 2-3 weeks advance booking (I will not refer you this way, without seeing you, if you are under 45 years of age)

Coronary artery disease is the major cause of heart attacks and sudden cardiac death if left undetected and untreated. Coronary artery disease is responsible for 22% of all deaths in Australia each year, often suddenly and without prior warning. Many of the deaths from coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by early detection and treatment.

It is possible to have a Normal Exercise ECG test result and still have significant cholesterol plaque accumulation in one’s arteries, which is not yet significantly narrowing the artery.
A Targeted CT Heart Scan rapidly and accurately detects Coronary Artery Calcified cholesterol plaque and is a more reliable predictor of coronary events than any other current screening test. The total amount is given as a Coronary Artery Calcium Score, which is an accurate guide to the degree of disease and hence the degree of risk. Your calcium score is closely related to the degree of fat/cholesterol build up in your coronary arteries. The higher the score, the higher the risk of future heart attack. It is the detection of sub-clinical atherosclerosis (yet to be symptomatic hardening of the arteries). The CT Coronary Angiogram at SAN Radiology (Dual source CT scan) goes one step further and is able to visualise with great accuracy the degree of narrowing (if any) within a coronary artery. It detects both calcified and non-calcified (soft) cholesterol plaques in the wall of the coronary arteries. This scanner  provides the necessary evidence for further more invasive testing and treatment by a Cardiologist.

 This score/result may prove to be the single most important fact to know about your heart health. This test is very fast and only requires the injection of a small amount of intravenous contrast at the elbow. (same “discomfort” as having a blood test) and a breath-hold of 15-20 secs. X-radiation exposure is now very minimal (equivalent to 2-3 return flights Sydney to London).

@@color(red):Preparation for your appointment@@
• Doctor will provide you with a referral to San Radiology after discussion following your Health Assessment. Phone 9487 9840 for an appointment. If Doctor agrees to having the CT scan on the same day as your EHC, ensure it is either 1.5 hours before (preferred) or 2.5 hours after your appointment time with me at Exec Health Check.
• You are required to fast for 4 hours prior to the scan. Also No Viagara/Cialis/Levitra for 5 days prior.
• You do not require any special clothing (you do for EHC - shorts, T-shirt, joggers, towel)
• My preferred method is to complete the EHC first, then I will discuss with you the need for the Heart Scan, according to all your results/risk factors. If deemed desirable/necessary, I will then provide you with the referral, you then book in for the scan, and then see me at FVMC 1 week later (at 5.30pm) to discuss the results in depth, and the necessary steps/treatment that might be needed.

@@color(red):About your appointment@@
• Please take the San Radiology referral form with you and hand to reception (if performing CT scan on same day as EHC, the referral will be forwarded by us to SAN Radiology, Level 3, Sydney Adventist Hospitals Main Building).
• Please allow approximately 1 hour for your appointment
• You will be greeted on arrival and asked to complete appropriate forms 

@@color(red):Consultation@@
• The results of the test will be explained to you when you re-attend Fox Valley Medical Centre 1 week later as instructed by your referring Doctor. Recommendations and suggestions for treatment and lifestyle changes will be given where necessary. 
• This test is provided as an assessment & screening service. We advise that it is your responsibility to follow up with your medical practitioner any suggestions and recommendations given during this assessment. 

@@color(red):Report@@
• You will receive a written report and all films & pictures produced, at the follow-up appointment 1 week later (ring 9487 9700 to make this appointment for a Monday or Thursday 5.30pm once you have performed the scan)
@@color(red):Payment@@
• You are required to make payment to SAN Radiology at this appointment of approx. $825. There is currently no Medicare rebate for this test (writing a letter of protest to your local Federal MP and Fed Health Minister may help change this situation). The re-attendance at FVMC one week later attracts a separate GP consultation cost (with standard Medicare rebates applying for Item 36, 20+ minute consultation)

Next link [[Requirements for Health Checks......]]

@@color(blue):Exec Health Checks at FVMC@@ offers patients the facility to have a GP/physician-referred Medicare - rebateable Exercise Stress ECG performed.

@@color(red):Please bring along a change of clothes eg shorts, T-shirt and sports shoes, in which to do the treadmill test.@@ A medium sized towel would also be handy. Shower facilities are available.

This test is usually used to assess the cause/origin of chest pain/discomfort and whether it is cardiac in origin. It also provides a check as to the patients ability to attempt vigorous exercise safely eg trek the Kokoda Track. It can also be a prerequisite for many jobs especially after the age of 40 eg commercial pilots licence, racing car driver or train driver. (this last indication, generally not Medicare-rebateable). It is also a good tool used to assess the non-symptomatic at-risk vascular patient eg 50 year old with strong family history of heart disease. It is also indicated in those with palpitations, loss of stamina, those wishing to commence a vigorous exercise regime over 40 years of age, unexplained shortness of breath esp with exertion and patients with vague/hard to explain symptoms who have one or more risk factors for vascular disease.

The test is performed on a motorised treadmill using the "Bruce Protocol" whereby a gradient is increased every 3 minutes by 2% (starting at 10%), whilst speed goes from a slow walk(2.7km/h) to a jog at 12 minutes (8km/h). Most patients complete the test in 9-12 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of monitored recovery/cool down (seated). Blood Pressure & Heart ECG are monitored throughout the test. A doctor and cardiac-trained Registered Nurse (plus resuscitation equipment) are present throughout.

A report is prepared along with copies of the ECG provided immediately for either the patient to return to their referring physician or immediately mailed/faxed to same. An abnormal result is directly communicated to the referring doctor.

A referral is required from your physician/GP in order to claim a Medicare rebate of approx. $188. Current out of pocket/gap cost is approx $91.(total cost of $279 payment is expected on day of service). The cost to Pensioner Concession Cardholders is discounted, while Goldcard Veteran cardholders sign the DVA assignment form.


INFORMATION ON TREADMILL EXERCISE/STRESS TESTING

@@color(red):The Stress Test@@
The law supports your right to know what to expect in any medical procedure and any associated risks. Your doctor has referred you for a Exercise Stress Test/Exercise ECG otherwise commonly called a “Stress Test”. This is a frequently used cardiac diagnostic test to assess how the heart performs during exercise, which can assist in determining a wide range of heart conditions. It records the heart's electrical activity (rate and rhythm) during exercise, producing a graph. A healthy person's heart electrical activity has a particular pattern, and our Doctor's can identify changes in that pattern which MAY indicate there is a problem with your heart.

It involves a preliminary resting Electrocardiograph (ECG) followed by walking exercise on a treadmill with continuous ECG, heart rate and blood pressure monitoring. The treadmill begins at a very slow speed (2.7km/h) and every three minutes our Doctor will increase the speed and slope of the treadmill, as if you are walking uphill. The doctor will look for changes in electrical activity patterns, blood pressure levels and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Be assured you will be continuously monitored by our experience Doctor and Nurse.

@@color(red):How Is It Done?@@
You will usually be on the treadmill for a maximum of 9 to 12 minutes or until you reach 90-100% of your maximal heart rate (determined by your age, gender and weight). The test will be stopped if you become too tired or have any symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath or if the Doctor feels it is appropriate. It is important that you mention any discomfort you may experience, especially chest pain/tightness/discomfort (however minor), arm, neck or jaw ache, breathlessness or lightheaded/dizziness.

Immediately after finishing on the treadmill a reading (ECG) is taken without movement. Finally there is a cool-down phase while you sit while your heart returns to its resting heart rate. This will last approx 4-5 minutes. The total test duration including preparation and removal of equipment is approx. 30 minutes.

@@color(red):How Will I Feel?@@
Your legs may feel unsteady momentarily on stepping off the treadmill. A very small number of people briefly feel lightheaded or dizzy. You will probably sweat, perhaps profusely, as you would after any vigorous exercise. You may have joint or muscle soreness depending on any predisposing problem just as you would expect from any physical activity.

@@color(red):Are There Any Risks?@@
Please follow instructions and keep us informed about how you feel and what you would like to do. 

Very occasionally an abnormal rise in blood pressure or a potentially serious disturbance/rhythm may occur and results in us stopping the test.

Serious complications are extremely rare. There is a theoretical risk of cardiac arrest (1 in 10,000 chance) or heart attack (myocardial infarction, 1 in 2500 chance) as in any predisposed person who indulges in strenuous exercise.

If the test reveals you are at very high risk, especially if your Resting ECG indicates recent heart damage, we may decline to test you and organise immediate referral to a Cardiologist.

If the test reveals your condition is serious, you may need direct admission/transportation to hospital via Ambulance immediately following the test (very rare).

@@color(red):Who Conducts the Test?@@
The technicians are fully qualified nursing sisters trained in this particular procedure and with cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. Emergency equipment is immediately at hand. A medical practitioner is present in the room and a medical resuscitation team is always available in the adjacent hospital building (Accident & Emergency Dept).

Having read this information, if you wish to proceed with stress testing you will be asked to sign a consent form prior to commencing the test. If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact Fox Valley Medical Centre on 02 9487 9700 or [[email me|mailto:info@ehc.org.au]]

Dr John Trani & Executive Health Checks
//Health Assessment Clients//

A fit, healthy 65 year old gentleman attended Executive Health Checks for his annual health assessment. He plays squash 3 times per week, eats a healthy diet and has no risk factors for heart disease, however, at his assessment his stress/exercise ECG was positive and he was sent to a cardiologist who found him to be ‘a heart attack waiting to happen’. He was admitted to hospital for urgent angiography and stenting of 3 coronary arteries.

A 30 year old man presented for a health assessment. He mentioned he had recently been having strange feelings which were leading to severe work and home problems. The doctor discussed this with him and, as he did not have a GP, referred him to a GP who treated him successfully for early schizophrenia.

A 50 year old man presented for a health assessment and was found to be microscopically bleeding from his bowel (positive stool haemoccult test). He was referred for a colonoscopy which revealed precancerous changes to his colon. These were effectively treated.

Mr A.R, a 60 yo man, presented for his first Health Assessment in "good health". Physical examination indicated an enlarged and slightly irregular prostate gland, and his PSA (prostate specific antigen) blood test was a little elevated. He was referred to a Urologist, where subsequent testing revealed prostate cancer. He was advised the best treatment was complete removal of the prostate gland (radical prostatectomy), which provided a complete cure, with no chance it would recur.

Mr O attended for a Health Assessment and was found to have Haemachromatosis (excessive iron levels) and was referred to a specialist for ongoing treatment before any damage had been done.
 
A 57 year old woman had a Health Assessment in which a PAP test was performed as it was overdue by 2 years. She was found to have cancerous cervical cells. He was referred to a Specialist and has since undergone successful surgery and treatment for cervical cancer. Both the Patient and her Specialist attribute her survival to early diagnosis at the Executive Health Checks.
