Short answer: A cardiac screening package in Bali
bundles the core heart tests — blood pressure, an ECG, a lipid
(cholesterol) panel, blood sugar, and a cardiologist review — often
adding an echocardiogram or a stress ECG at the higher tiers. Basic
heart-focused bundles start around IDR 1,500,000–3,000,000 (USD
95–190), while comprehensive cardiac packages with imaging and
a stress test run IDR 4,000,000–9,000,000+ (USD
250–560+). The right tier depends on your age, family history,
symptoms and risk factors — not on picking the most expensive option.
This guide compares what the tiers actually include so you can choose on
substance, not marketing.
We’re an independent comparison guide — we don’t sell packages or
operate clinics. We help you understand what’s inside each bundle, then
our free JHG Medical Concierge can

What “cardiac screening”
means
Cardiac screening looks for heart-disease risk and early signs of
trouble before symptoms force the issue. A well-designed
package doesn’t just run tests — it combines them so a cardiologist can
build a picture of your risk and act early. The building blocks:
- Blood pressure — the single biggest modifiable
heart-disease risk factor. - ECG — records heart rhythm and electrical signs of
strain. - Lipid panel — total, LDL, HDL cholesterol and
triglycerides. - Blood glucose / HbA1c — because diabetes sharply
raises cardiac risk. - Cardiologist consultation — interpretation and a
personalised plan. - Echocardiogram (higher tiers) — ultrasound of the
heart’s structure and pumping. - Stress (exercise) ECG (higher tiers) — how the
heart behaves under exertion.
To understand each of these individually, see our every-test-explained pillar; for the ECG
specifically, our ECG and heart-check
clinics guide covers where to get one.
The tiers compared
| Tier | Typical inclusions | Best for | Indicative cost (IDR / USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic cardiac | BP, resting ECG, lipids, glucose, doctor review | Younger adults, low risk, first check | 1.5m–3m / 95–190 |
| Standard cardiac | Above + echocardiogram + fuller bloods | Family history, over-40, mild risk factors | 3m–5m / 190–310 |
| Comprehensive cardiac | Above + stress ECG (± Holter, advanced markers) | Symptoms, high risk, athletes, pre-surgery | 4m–9m+ / 250–560+ |
Indicative ranges from publicly listed Bali hospital rates,
reviewed quarterly. Inclusions vary between facilities — always confirm.

How to choose the
right tier (not the priciest)
The most common mistake is buying imaging you don’t need — or, worse,
skipping it when you do. Use risk, not budget, to decide:
Choose a basic cardiac screen
if…
You’re a lower-risk adult with no symptoms, no strong family history
of early heart disease, and you simply want a baseline. Blood pressure,
ECG, cholesterol and blood sugar cover most of the value here.
Choose a standard cardiac
screen if…
You’re over 40, have a family history of heart disease, or carry risk
factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or a
history of smoking. Adding an echocardiogram gives a look at heart
structure and function.
Choose a comprehensive
cardiac screen if…
You have symptoms (chest discomfort, breathlessness, palpitations),
are an endurance athlete wanting clearance, need pre-surgical
assessment, or have significant risk. A stress ECG shows how your heart
performs under load, which a resting trace can’t.
For a structured way to weigh venues and tiers, our how-to-choose buyer’s guide walks through
accreditation, specialist availability and English-language care.
What to check before
you book a package
- Is there a named cardiologist doing the review, or
just a general doctor? - What imaging is genuinely included vs. “available
at extra cost”? - Is fasting required? Most cardiac packages with
lipids and glucose need an overnight fast. - Do you get a full written report to take to your
doctor at home? - Accreditation — international accreditation signals
equipment and process quality; see our accreditation and trust guide.
Medical disclaimer: This guide is for information
only and is not medical advice. Which cardiac tests are appropriate for
you is a clinical decision that must be made by a licensed physician who
has assessed your individual risk. Screening does not rule out all heart
disease. If you have chest pain or think you may be having a
heart attack, seek emergency care immediately (in Indonesia, call 112) —
do not wait for a scheduled screen. MedicalCheckupBali is

Why proactive cardiac
screening matters
The World Health Organization identifies cardiovascular disease as
the leading cause of death globally and stresses that most premature
heart disease is preventable by identifying and managing risk factors
early — high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, diabetes, and tobacco
use among them (World Health Organization, Cardiovascular
diseases, who.int). A well-chosen cardiac package turns those
abstract risks into concrete numbers and a plan, which is the whole
point.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a cardiac screening package take? A
basic bundle (blood pressure, ECG, bloods, doctor review) is usually a
half-day, with same-day or next-day results. Packages that add an
echocardiogram or stress ECG can run longer, and some hospitals split
them across two visits — confirm timing when you book.
Do I need to fast? Yes, in most cases. Because
cardiac packages include a lipid (cholesterol) panel and blood sugar, an
overnight fast of 8–12 hours is typically required. Water and essential
medications are usually fine — ask the facility.
Is a cardiac package the same as a full-body
check-up? No. A cardiac package concentrates on heart-disease
risk. A general full-body check-up is broader but usually shallower on
the heart. If your main concern is your heart — family history, risk
factors, symptoms — the cardiac-focused package digs deeper.
Can I add heart tests to a standard check-up
instead? Often yes. Many facilities let you add an
echocardiogram or stress ECG à la carte to a general package. Our
concierge can help you compare a dedicated cardiac bundle against a
build-your-own approach.
What if the screen finds something? A good package
includes a cardiologist review, so any finding is explained on the spot
and you’re referred internally for follow-up if needed. Ask before
booking whether a cardiologist (not just a general doctor) does the
interpretation.
