Vital Imaging (Europe) Press Release

Sheffield United manager, Neil Warnock, has used revolutionary new heart scanning technology from Vital Imaging (Europe) for a health check to help deal with the stress of top-level football management. Last season Warnock was involved in the Division One play-offs and is now faced with increasing pressure in football to be successful.
The scanning technology (Electron Beam Tomography) used by Warnock is the safest, fastest and most accurate way to find out if someone is at risk of heart disease . Using 3D images, it shows up levels of calcification (often called furring) inside arteries and veins. The scan showed that Warnock has traces of calcification which he can reduce with simple changes in diet and lifestyle.
Warnock said, "After losing the play-offs last season, the pressure is always on managers to turn in a good performance. But my health is one thing I don’t need to worry about. It’s a huge relief to have spotted the signs of risk early on and, with some simple changes to lifestyle and diet, know that I can avoid illness in the future."
Warnock had the scan and consultation with leading cardiologists, Dr Lahiri and Dr Lipkin, at one of Vital Imaging’s clinics in London. The services offered by Vital Imaging, which are available to anyone, can detect disease up to 10 years earlier than traditional methods. The first many people realise they have a cardiac problem is a heart attack and 50% of these are fatal.
