Symptoms of heart disease
Do you have any of these symptoms?
Cardiovascular diseases are very common and can sometimes go unnoticed. We advise you to make an appointment with one of our nurses immediately if you experience any of the symptoms listed below.
If symptoms occur suddenly and severely, call an ambulance and go to the hospital immediately. Most of the time, symptoms start out mild and then get worse. They can also be very subtle. That's why it's a good idea to make an appointment with one of our nurses, who will assess your risk of cardiovascular disease.
Chest pain
Heart palpitations
Difficulty breathing
Abnormal shortness of breath
Chest discomfort radiating to the left side of the body
Sometimes the discomfort moves to the right side and reaches the shoulder blade, arm, neck, throat, or jaw, with or without cold sweats, but without clammy skin.

How it works
First, a medical request from a doctor is required to make an appointment.
The test can last for 48 hours, 7 days, or 14 days.
If your doctor has prescribed a test lasting less than 48 hours, we can perform a 48-hour test or send them a fax to request a change to the prescription.
A short questionnaire will be completed with you
The nurse will shave part of the chest if there is too much hair
You can do this yourself before your appointment.
The device will be installed quickly and painlessly
The device is comfortable and does not restrict movement, and showering is permitted.
You will need to record the symptoms and their intensity throughout the entire duration of the test
On the scheduled date, you must return the device, the logbook, and the prescription in the envelope provided
Your reading will be interpreted by a cardiologist and sent to your doctor
