Cardiovascular Screening Q & A

What is a cardiovascular screening?

A cardiovascular screening involves a series of tests for the function of your heart and blood vessels. The results give you and your providers valuable information about your cardiovascular health and can indicate potential complications before you get any symptoms.

Your cardiovascular screening may involve blood tests, imaging tests, genetic markers, or a combination of all three. The tests evaluate:

Cholesterol levels
Blood glucose levels
Blood pressure
C-reactive protein, which indicates inflammation

Depending on the results of your cardiovascular screening, your provider at Advanced Cardiovascular Consultants may recommend additional tests. They help you interpret your results, assess your risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and make healthy lifestyle changes to reduce your risk.

When do I need a cardiovascular screening?

You should talk to your primary care provider about when and how often to get cardiovascular screenings. The American Heart Association recommends cholesterol, blood pressure, and C-reactive protein tests, starting at age 20, and blood glucose screenings around age 45.

The frequency with which you should get cardiovascular screenings depends on the number of risk factors that apply to you. You’re at a higher risk for heart disease and may need more frequent than average screenings if you:

Are overweight or obese
Smoke
Have family members with heart disease
Have diabetes
Are physically inactive

If any risk factors apply to you, the team at Advanced Cardiovascular Consultants can help you make healthy lifestyle changes to reduce your risk.

What can a cardiovascular screening help diagnose?

A cardiovascular screening provides many details about your heart health and cardiovascular function. These can be a valuable tool in diagnosing:

Coronary artery disease
Arrhythmia
High blood pressure
Prediabetes or diabetes
Heart failure
Atrial fibrillation
Structural abnormalities

If the results of your cardiovascular screening tests are abnormal in any way, the team at Advanced Cardiovascular Consultants may tell you to get additional tests. Then, they plan your treatment or help you make changes to your lifestyle to improve your cardiovascular health.
