Treatment FAQ
Common questions
What happens during this consultation?
Dr Islam will review all relevant risk factors together rather than in isolation to build a complete picture of your cardiovascular risk. Blood test results, blood pressure readings, and lifestyle information are all incorporated into the assessment.
Will I need tests after the appointment?
A comprehensive blood panel is typically arranged, including lipids, HbA1c, kidney function, and liver enzymes. An ECG and echocardiogram may be requested to assess any existing cardiac effects of uncontrolled risk factors.
Can this be reviewed as part of ongoing care?
Risk factor optimisation is an ongoing process. Dr Islam structures regular review consultations to assess progress against targets, adjust treatment, and maintain motivation — particularly in the first year after establishing the plan.
