Heart/Cardiac

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Malaysia. According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), ischaemic heart disease accounts for the highest number of medically certified deaths nationwide.

Cardiac screening helps detect risk factors such as high cholesterol, hypertension, and diabetes early, allowing preventive action before serious complications like heart attacks or stroke occur.
