Helping You Lower Your Cardiac Risk Factors
- A Heart Risk Assessment for Better Heart Health
-
You need to know about any risks that could damage your heart. Through a heart risk assessment, we’ll evaluate you for factors like atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, and diabetes — all of which can put you at greater risk of heart attack. Screenings and tests we perform to evaluate your risk of vascular diseases include electrocardiograms, a brief procedure which we use to record your heart’s electrical activity. We may also perform standard imaging tests like CT scans and MRIs. At AdventHealth Tampa here to give you all the information you need to live a healthy life.
- Cardiac Care for a Range of Heart-Related Issues
-
Through your heart risk assessment, you may learn that you’re at risk for a heart-related issue. If you are, we can help reduce some of your risk factors and lower your chance of heart disease or heart attack. Conditions that may put your heart at increased risk include:
