- Test clinic findings are assessed by a qualified cardiologist with a report given to the individual, their parents/guardians within ten days.
- Most individuals will have normal results (~96-98% cases).
- Where any abnormalities are detected (2-4% cases) then the results are assessed by our Chief Medical Officer alongside an advisory group with leading expertise in key areas of cardiac screening and the subspecialities within cardiology (Electrophysiology, Cardiac Imaging and Inherited cardiac diseases).
This approach ensures we can deliver clinical excellence and provide additional support for young people and families where needed. Any complex cases will go through a multidisciplinary team meeting (MDT) which is the current standard of care within best health care practise.
- Teen Heart Project’s protocol will lead our medical team to recommend the best course of action for every individual and their parents/guardians. In some cases, this may include further investigations (e.g. an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart structure and function).
