Can I do cardiac screening in one day if I'm traveling to Korea?

Yes. Most international patients complete the entire screening process—consultation, all tests, and initial result review—in a single day. You can add a follow-up consultation the next day for detailed discussion with the cardiologist.

Is cardiac screening painful or do I need to stay overnight?

No. All tests are non-invasive and outpatient. You'll walk on a treadmill during the stress test and lie still for ultrasound and CT imaging. No anesthesia, no needles beyond routine blood draw. Go home the same day.

What is the total cost for cardiac screening in Korea?

Costs are fixed upfront; no surprise fees.

How do I get the screening results and take them home?

Cardiologist provides a detailed written report, imaging CD, and recommendations before you leave. Report is yours to share with your home physician or bring on future travels. Results typically available within 24–48 hours if additional interpretation is needed.

Should I fast before cardiac screening tests?

Yes. Fasting for 8–12 hours before screening (especially for lipid panel and CT) is standard. The hospital's international patient team will typically provide specific pre-screening instructions including any medications to hold or take on test day.
