Cardiovascular health matters

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in New Zealand, with around 1 in 20 Kiwis living with cardiovascular disease. Many heart conditions develop slowly, often without obvious symptoms. Regular cardiovascular check-ups are essential for maintaining your heart health, managing existing conditions, and ensuring your heart stays in shape.

Common conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes can significantly impact your heart’s health. Our GPs and clinical team offer cardiovascular services to help you lead your best life.

If you are experiencing chest discomfort, shortness of breath, dizziness, unusual fatigue, or an irregular heartbeat, call 111 immediately.
