At the One Care Institute, we believe your heart health shouldn't be a mystery. As your primary care physicians, we utilize a tiered diagnostic approach to identify cardiovascular risk long before it becomes a clinical event. From baseline electrical monitoring to advanced non-invasive imaging coordination, our Cardiac Suite provides the clarity you need to protect your most vital organ.
Precision Monitoring of the Heart’s Rhythm.
We utilize gold-standard equipment to audit the electrical "wiring" of your heart, identifying arrhythmias, silent ischemia, and conductive disorders.
Resting ECG (Electrocardiogram): A fundamental 12-lead baseline test to evaluate your heart rate and rhythm.
Stress ECG (Exercise Stress Test): Monitoring your heart's performance under physical exertion on a treadmill. This is a critical diagnostic for detecting "hidden" coronary artery disease that doesn't appear at rest.
Holter Monitoring (24-48 Hour): For patients experiencing intermittent palpitations or dizziness, we provide wearable monitors to capture every heartbeat during your normal daily activities, ensuring no "glitches" go undetected.
Seeing the Disease Before the Symptoms.
Through our strategic radiology partnerships, we coordinate advanced imaging to look at the "plumbing" of your heart. These tests are the gold standard for executive health audits.
CAC (Coronary Artery Calcium Score): A rapid, non-invasive CT scan that measures the amount of calcified plaque in your heart’s arteries. A score of "0" provides immense peace of mind, while a high score allows us to intervene aggressively with preventative medicine.
CT-CA (CT Coronary Angiogram): The most advanced non-invasive view of the coronary arteries. Unlike the Calcium Score, the CT-CA allows us to see "soft plaque" and actual narrowing of the vessels, providing a level of detail previously only available through invasive hospital procedures.
Primary Care as Preventative Intelligence.
Heart disease is often a silent killer. We recommend a Cardiac Audit for:
The High-Stress Executive: Chronic cortisol elevation is a primary driver of arterial stiffness.
Athletes & Biohackers: Ensuring your heart is structurally sound before pushing high-intensity performance limits.
Those with Family History: If heart disease runs in your family, "standard" cholesterol tests are not enough; you need structural and electrical data.
Patients with "Vague" Symptoms: Such as unexplained fatigue, shortness of breath, or occasional chest "flutters."
The value of our Cardiac Suite isn't just the data—it's the interpretation. As your GPs, we don't just hand you a report; we integrate these findings into your total health profile:
Lipid Optimization: Tailoring your cholesterol and inflammatory marker management based on your Calcium Score.
Vascular Support: Utilizing medical-grade protocols to improve endothelial function.
Specialist Liaison: If our diagnostics identify a high-risk issue, we provide a direct, data-backed referral to South Africa’s leading cardiologists.
