ECG, echocardiogram and stress testing reviewed directly with a cardiologist.
Cardiology Check-Up in Turkey starts from $260, typically 50-70% less than equivalent private care in the UK or US. ECG, echocardiogram and stress testing reviewed directly with a cardiologist.
A change in exercise tolerance is the symptom cardiologists take most seriously.
Rhythm findings need a recorded trace, not a description.
Early family events shift your own screening age forward by a decade.
Treating numbers without seeing structure leaves valve and muscle changes unmeasured.
The echo shows structure and valve function while the stress ECG shows behaviour under load — together they answer very different questions.
| Sessions | 1 day |
|---|---|
| Time in Turkey | 2 days |
| Recovery | None beyond mild post-exercise fatigue |
| Repeat interval | Annual with known risk factors; every 2-3 years otherwise |
Full body check-up includes a resting ECG only; executive adds stress testing but with less cardiology consultation time.
A resting ECG is normal in most people with coronary disease, so what separates a real cardiac work-up is what is measured under load and what is seen on the vessel wall.
| Module | Test or scan | What it is there for |
|---|---|---|
| Functional | Treadmill stress ECG (Bruce protocol) | Reproduces the demand that unmasks flow-limiting disease. |
| Imaging | Transthoracic echocardiogram | Ejection fraction, valve gradients and wall motion in one study. |
| Imaging | Carotid intima-media thickness | Plaque burden visible years before symptoms. |
| Monitoring | 24-hour Holter and ambulatory blood pressure | Catches paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and nocturnal hypertension. |
| Bloods | Lipid subfractions, ApoB and Lp(a) | Lp(a) is genetic, measured once, and changes risk category. |
| Bloods | hs-CRP and NT-proBNP | Inflammatory and wall-stress markers used to interpret borderline findings. |

1 day — 2 days. The scheduling that matters is set by one item: treadmill stress ecg (bruce protocol) — reproduces the demand that unmasks flow-limiting disease.
None beyond mild post-exercise fatigue Expected service life: Annual with known risk factors; every 2-3 years otherwise.
Clinics reach for this when: chest discomfort, palpitations or breathlessness on exertion. Full body check-up includes a resting ECG only; executive adds stress testing but with less cardiology consultation time.
Acute chest pain is an emergency, not a travel plan. Recent infarction or unstable angina rules out stress testing. Severe mobility limits require a pharmacological stress alternative.
Full body check-up includes a resting ECG only; executive adds stress testing but with less cardiology consultation time. Ask any shortlisted clinic to confirm in writing which of these applies to your case, plus their warranty and remote follow-up terms.
Usually not in the base package. It is a common and worthwhile add-on when the stress test or risk score is borderline.
Good at detecting significant flow-limiting disease, weaker for early plaque — which is why calcium scoring or CT angiography is added when suspicion is high.
Yes. The stress test is tiring but has no recovery period.
It usually is when chest discomfort, palpitations or breathlessness on exertion. Full body check-up includes a resting ECG only; executive adds stress testing but with less cardiology consultation time. A clinician reviewing your records will confirm which side of that line you fall on.
For cardiology check-up, the quote should itemise every visit (1 day), the accommodation nights implied by 2 days, and the exact specification of what is used or measured. Anything omitted from that list is a cost you will meet later.
Ask for accreditation documents, the treating specialist's qualifications, and — specific to cardiology check-up — how many of these cases they perform each month. Volume in this exact procedure matters more than a general clinic credential.
For Cardiology Check-Up, most packages require 8-12 hours of fasting for accurate blood work — your provider confirms exact timing before your appointment.
For Cardiology Check-Up, reputable providers issue a full report and consultation in English, designed to be shared directly with a doctor at home.
Yes — many patients schedule a check-up alongside other treatment already planned.
For Cardiology Check-Up, the physician explains what it means and what follow-up is recommended, documented in your report for your doctor at home.
No — most providers accept direct bookings from international patients without a referral.

The short version is above. A focused cardiac workup: ECG, echocardiogram, stress test, lipid profile and cardiology consultation. The echo shows structure and valve function while the stress ECG shows behaviour under load — together they answer very different questions.
A focused cardiac workup: ECG, echocardiogram, stress test, lipid profile and cardiology consultation. The echo shows structure and valve function while the stress ECG shows behaviour under load — together they answer very different questions. That single technical point is what separates cardiology check-up from the options next to it on this site, and it is the thing to confirm on your own scan or photographs before you compare prices.
Turkey's role here is volume, not a different procedure: high-throughput diagnostic screening centres in Istanbul and Ankara run this specific work weekly rather than occasionally, which is what standardises materials, planning and turnaround. Treadmill stress ECG (Bruce protocol) is performed to the same protocol in London or Berlin as it is in Istanbul; the analyser, the grading system and the reporting standard are identical, and only the overhead behind them differs.
For Cardiology Check-Up, plan for 1 day , with 2 days in Turkey. Anything that promises materially less than that for your case is worth a second read, because the schedule is dictated by biology and laboratory time, not by the clinic's calendar.
A properly run case is confirmed remotely first: your records are reviewed, the plan and the final price are fixed in writing, and only then do you book flights. If a clinic quotes cardiology check-up from a phone call without seeing images or results, the number on arrival is likely to move.
Candidacy for cardiology check-up depends on your case, not your country of departure.
Usually a good fit when:
Get a second opinion first if:
None beyond mild post-exercise fatigue Expected service life is Annual with known risk factors; every 2-3 years otherwise, and that figure assumes normal maintenance and review — it is a planning number, not a guarantee.
Agree the recall interval for cardiology check-up before you leave: which results are reviewed remotely, when treadmill stress ecg (bruce protocol) should be repeated, and who you contact if a value shifts. For cardiology check-up specifically, this matters more than any price difference between shortlisted clinics.
Three things move a cardiology check-up quote: the number of visits (1 day), how long you stay (2 days), and the specification of what is actually used or measured. The gap between a $180 – $250 quote and a $650 – $1,100 quote for cardiology check-up is almost always scope — typically whether carotid intima-media thickness is in the package — rather than the standard of care.
For Cardiology Check-Up, ask for the quote itemised, and ask specifically what is excluded — a package price that omits the second visit or a required preliminary step is not a lower price, it is an incomplete one.
Full body check-up includes a resting ECG only; executive adds stress testing but with less cardiology consultation time.
Plenty of patients book cardiology check-up and leave having been redirected to full body check-up, or the other way round, once their records were read properly. That redirection is the value of the review, not a failure of it. Ask the clinic to write one paragraph on why cardiology check-up suits your case better than full body check-up, referring to treadmill stress ecg specifically. How they answer that tells you how they plan cases.
Usually not in the base package. It is a common and worthwhile add-on when the stress test or risk score is borderline.
Good at detecting significant flow-limiting disease, weaker for early plaque — which is why calcium scoring or CT angiography is added when suspicion is high.
Yes. The stress test is tiring but has no recovery period.
Before booking, get two things in writing: who interprets transthoracic echocardiogram, and what the clinic does if that result needs repeating after you are home. For cardiology check-up, ask specifically what is covered, for how long, and whether a return trip would be at your cost.
