Heart Risk Assessment
Take Heart. Knowing your risk can save your life.
Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in America, accounting for approximately 1 in 3 deaths every year. Knowing your numbers and assessing your heart disease risk are important steps to take in preventing heart problems, along with getting treatment as early as possible.
Cardiovascular Specialists of Lawrence offers a tool to better manage your heart health with “Take Heart” – two heart risk assessment options to identify your individual risk factors for heart disease. Each assessment includes lab work and body measurements to help identify your individual risk factors, as well as one-on-one consultation. And Option 2 includes a Hemoglobin A1c test to estimate average blood sugar levels.
