Indicators of Heart Disease

A cardiovascular heart health test can show if you have any indicators of heart disease. These indicators include:

• Fatty build-up in your arteries

• High levels of plaque

• High triglyceride levels

• Elevated CRP

With Better2Know's comprehensive cardiovascular tests, you can fully understand your heart health. If any of these indicators are present, you can work with a doctor to form your plan for lifestyle changes that can decrease your risk of heart disease.

Why is Heart Health Important?

Your heart is the central part of your body’s circulatory system, meaning it pumps blood throughout your body, supplies oxygen, and removes waste from your tissues. As a result, poor heart health can cause serious problems with your body and lead to strokes, heart attacks, heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases.

How to Promote Heart Health

You can keep your heart healthy by eating healthy foods, staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting stress, and drinking alcohol in moderation. By doing your best to lead a healthy lifestyle, you can minimize your risk of heart disease.

Who Should Get Heart Health Tests?

Getting a heart health test is a regular part of preventative healthcare for adults. Once you reach 20 years old, you should get tested regularly to ensure your heart is in good condition. Those at high risk for heart disease should get tested more frequently, as they are more likely to get it than others.

You may be at high risk for heart disease if you have:

• Diabetes

• High cholesterol

• High blood pressure

• Low physical activity

• Unhealthy diet

• Family history of heart disease

• Drink heavily

• Smoke tobacco
