②Secondary inspection is also possible using high-precision inspection equipment
We are equipped with high-precision testing equipment, such as an 80-slice CT, 3.0 Tesla MRI, and 2D/3D mammography, and are able to provide a variety of tests if findings are found during medical checkups and health examinations.

Main responses by disease
Hypertension
This is such a disease.
This condition causes blood pressure to be higher than normal, putting strain on the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of complications such as heart disease and stroke.
Main symptoms
Headache or dizziness
Rapid or irregular heartbeat
Bloodshot eyes or visual disturbances
Future risks
Heart disease and coronary artery disease
Stroke and cerebrovascular disease
Kidney disease or chronic kidney disease
Main treatment
Progression of treatment effectiveness and risks will be monitored through regular blood pressure checks and specific tests.
Coronary artery disease
This is such a disease.
This is a heart disease in which blood flow in the coronary arteries is restricted, resulting in symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath due to insufficient oxygen supply to the heart muscle.
Main symptoms
chest pain
shortness of breath
Palpitation
Future risks
Myocardial infarction
Heart failure
Angina pectoris
Main treatment
Coronary artery bypass surgery: Bypasses blood vessels to provide oxygen to the heart.
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): A balloon is used to dilate the blood vessels and a stent is inserted to improve blood flow.
Arrhythmia
This is such a disease.
This is a disease in which the heart's electrical impulses are not transmitted normally, resulting in an irregular heart rate and rhythm.
Main symptoms
Palpitation
Dizziness
loss of consciousness
Future risks
thrombosis
Heart failure
Stroke
Main treatment
Antiarrhythmic drugs and anticoagulants are used to stabilize the rhythm and prevent blood clot formation.
