A Doctors refferal for preventative tests are easy though. I've done this in the USA fwiw due to a family member having a heart attack at a very young age. Go to a doctor and state "I have risk factors for heart disease and would like a reference to https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medical-clinics/preventive-ca... ". Other hospitals (eg. Mayo clinic) have similar programs.

Any decent doctor should agree to this. Once you have a reference you'll be put through a battery of tests. Blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, etc. A lot of it was covered by insurance anyway but it was out of network for me. That didn't matter to getting the reference though. The tests they do are all non-invasive and not risky in the first phase so definitely worth doing.
