treatment options that are available.
The Women's Heart Disease Screening Program Measures:
• Blood pressure monitoring (BP), to check for hypertension
• Blood flow at the ankle (ABI), to check for arterial blockage in the legs
• Lipid panel (HDL, LDL, YG, Ratio), to determine your cardiovascular risk.
• Glucose (HgbA1C), to determine your risk of diabetes
• High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (HSCRP), to determine your cardiovascular risk
• Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) tracing of your heart rhythm to detect irregularities
• Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation using your height and weight to measure the amount of body fat
• Waist circumference measurement
ARE YOU AT RISK?Every year, more women die from cardiovascular disease than from all forms of cancer. Yet, most cardiac events in women can be prevented with early detection, good lifestyle choices, and a physician’s care.
