Cardiovascular Screening

Your heart health is essential to your overall well-being. At Optima Medical, we provide comprehensive cardiovascular screening services to help identify risks early, monitor your heart health, and support a healthier future.

What is Cardiovascular Screening?

Cardiovascular screening is a series of diagnostic tests and assessments designed to evaluate your heart health and identify potential risks for heart disease. By detecting issues early, these screenings help prevent serious complications like heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular conditions.

Types of Cardiovascular Screenings

1

Blood Pressure Check

Measures the force of blood against your artery walls, detecting high blood pressure (hypertension).

2

Cholesterol Panel

Evaluates LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglyceride levels to assess your risk for heart disease.

3

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)

Monitors the electrical activity of your heart to detect arrhythmias or other irregularities.

4

Stress Testing

Assesses how your heart performs under physical exertion, helping identify blocked arteries or other issues.

5

Echocardiogram

A non-invasive ultrasound that examines the structure and function of your heart.

6

Blood Glucose Testing

Screens for diabetes, a condition closely linked to cardiovascular disease.

7

Carotid Ultrasound

Uses sound waves to detect plaque buildup in the carotid arteries, which supply blood to your brain.

Why is Cardiovascular Screening Important?

Early Detection: Identify potential issues before symptoms appear.
Prevention: Lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and other complications.
Monitoring: Keep track of existing conditions, such as high blood pressure or cholesterol.
Empowerment: Take control of your heart health with actionable insights and personalized care.

Who Should Consider Cardiovascular Screening?

Cardiovascular screenings are recommended for individuals who:

Are over the age of 40.
Have a family history of heart disease, stroke, or high blood pressure.
Smoke or have a history of smoking.
Are overweight or obese.
Have diabetes or prediabetes.
