Rapid Access Cardiology Screening Clinic.

Precision Health recommends individual cardiac screening to help detect early signs of heart disease, such as high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, or irregular heart rhythms. Early intervention can significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes.

We recommend this for several reasons.

​

• Prevention of Heart Attack or Stroke: Screening can identify risk factors like high cholesterol, diabetes, or high blood pressure, all of which contribute to heart disease. Addressing these issues early through lifestyle changes or medications can prevent more severe conditions in the future.

• Family History or Genetic Risk: If you have a family history of heart disease, your risk may be higher. Cardiac screening can help assess your personal risk and guide preventative measures.

• Guidance on Lifestyle Choices: Screening can reveal information about your heart health that might prompt you to make healthier choices, like adopting a heart-healthy diet, exercising more, quitting smoking, or managing stress.

•  Peace of Mind: If you’re experiencing symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, cardiac screening can help determine if there's an underlying heart condition that needs attention.

• Assessing Existing Conditions: If you already have conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol, regular cardiac screening helps monitor how well these are managed and whether adjustments are needed.

• Age and Gender Considerations: Heart disease risk increases with age, and men are often at higher risk at younger ages compared to women. For women, however, the risk increases after menopause. Screening can help adjust for these factors.​​​
