Around 30% of adults in the UK are estimated to have high blood pressure, which is one of the most significant risk factors for stroke and heart attack. However, because most people with the condition don’t experience symptoms, many are unaware they are even at risk.
Getting the diagnosis right is essential to protecting your health. Treating blood pressure that is not genuinely elevated can lead to unnecessary medication, while failing to identify ongoing high blood pressure can increase long-term cardiovascular risk.
Our Hypertension Diagnostic Package gives you a thorough, consultant-led assessment that goes beyond a single reading, helping you understand what is really happening with your heart to give you certainty and peace of mind.
This package may be right for you if you:
High blood pressure rarely causes symptoms, which means many you may only discover there may be an issue after a routine check-up or a single elevated blood pressure test reading at your GP surgery. Being told to “keep an eye on it” without a clear explanation or plan can leave your feeling uncertain about what is actually happening and whether treatment is needed.
The challenge is that a single clinic reading does not always give a reliable picture of your blood pressure throughout the day. Some people experience white coat hypertension, where blood pressure rises in a medical setting due to anxiety or stress. NHS clinical guidelines estimate this affects between 15% and 30% of people with elevated surgery readings. Others may have blood pressure that appears normal during appointments but is consistently raised outside the clinic environment.
One Heart Clinic’s Hypertension Diagnostic Package provides a thorough, consultant-led assessment that goes beyond a single reading, helping you understand what is really happening and what steps, if any, should come next.
Our Hypertension Assessment Package is available on a self-pay basis with clear, fixed pricing. Everything in the package is bundled together so you know exactly what you're paying for. Booking as a package is more cost-effective than arranging each test separately, and avoids the waiting times that can delay this kind of preventive care.
Available as a fixed-price self-pay bundle, making costs clear from the outset.
(Saving £343 compared with booking all tests separately)
Instalment plan available 4 x monthly payments of £451, please email us at enquiries@oneheartclinic.com for more details.
If additional or alternative tests are recommended based on your symptoms or previous results, these will be explained in advance, including any extra costs, so you can decide how to proceed.
This assessment follows NICE guidelines,which is the clinical standard that governs hypertension diagnosis and management across the NHS. It brings all the key investigations together under one consultant-led pathway.
A detailed one-to-one review of your symptoms, history, and lifestyle with a consultant cardiologist, ensuring your results are interpreted in the right context from the outset. In your follow-up results will be explained clearly, with a concrete plan, whether that means lifestyle changes, medication, further monitoring, or specialist referral.
A small, discreet device worn on your arm records your blood pressure at regular intervals across a full day and night. Considered the gold-standard method for confirming a hypertension diagnosis, it is also the only reliable way to identify both white coat and masked hypertension. You simply wear it and carry on as normal.
An ultrasound scan assessing the structure and function of your heart. Sustained high blood pressure can cause the heart muscle to thicken over time without any symptoms, and catching this early significantly improves the options available to you.
A broad panel of blood tests covering cholesterol, blood glucose, thyroid function, and kidney and liver health, giving your cardiologist the full context needed to interpret your results and make treatment recommendations that are specific to you.
A quick, painless recording of your heart's electrical activity, checking rhythm and identifying signs of strain that can develop silently over years of elevated pressure. An ECG is a key part of in-depth heart screening.
Screens for kidney involvement and hormonal conditions that may be driving blood pressure up, helping to identify secondary hypertension where an underlying and treatable cause is responsible – accounting for around 5% to 10% of all hypertension cases.
Every patient at One Heart Clinic is seen by a consultant cardiologist with specialist knowledge, designed to give you genuinely useful, accurate guidance.
Our consultants hold substantial NHS and academic experience and are consistently rated highly on Doctify.
Where blood pressure proves difficult to control through medication alone, One Heart Clinic also provides access to specialist treatments including renal denervation, with Dr Sayan Sen among a very small number of cardiologists in the UK currently offering this.

Our ConsultantsThe clinical term for high blood pressure is hypertension – when the force of blood against your artery walls is consistently higher than it should be, placing ongoing stress on your heart, blood vessels, and kidneys. This can lead to strokes, heart attacks, and kidney failure.
A healthy reading sits below 120/80 mmHg. Hypertension is defined as a sustained clinic reading at or above 140/90 mmHg, or a daytime ambulatory average of 135/85 mmHg or above. Readings between these thresholds are considered elevated and worth monitoring carefully.
It damages blood vessels gradually and silently. Over time, elevated blood pressure significantly increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease. The longer it goes unaddressed, the greater that risk. It is also one of the most effectively treated cardiovascular conditions once properly identified.
For most people, none at all. This is the most important thing to understand about hypertension – it’s a silent condition. Most people with significantly elevated readings feel completely well, which is exactly why proactive assessment matters. It may not be possible to know you have it unless you test for hypertension.
In around 90% to 95% of cases no single cause is found, known as primary hypertension, developing gradually through genetics, age, diet, weight, activity, alcohol, and stress. In 5% to 10% of cases an underlying condition such as kidney disease or a hormonal disorder is responsible, called secondary hypertension, which changes the treatment approach considerably.
Blood pressure that is elevated in a clinical setting but normal in everyday life. It affects between 15% and 30% (NICE) of people with raised clinic readings and can lead to unnecessary medication. The 24-hour monitoring in this package is the most reliable way to confirm whether this applies to you.
The opposite – blood pressure that appears normal in a clinic but is elevated during daily life or overnight. It carries significant cardiovascular risk if missed and can only be reliably identified through extended out-of-office monitoring.
