What is a Heart Health Screen?
Our Heart Health Screen is designed to evaluate your risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease, heart attack or stroke. It includes a panel of tests for high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), triglycerides and total cholesterol. Lipids and lipoproteins are a group of fats or fat-protein substances that are important cell components, as well as being sources of energy.

Long-term cardiovascular health
High blood pressure
Obesity
Diabetes
A previous heart attack
A family history of heart disease or diagnosed heart conditions.
