Heart Health Evaluatioin for Grapevine, and Colleyville TX
Many people put off getting their annual exam for a multitude of reasons. If you are one of these who procrastinate, you may be missing out on important therapies that could help you live longer and with better quality of life. Annual exams can pick up potential problems, including problems with your heart, which could then direct you to further evaluation and treatment for potential life threatening conditions.
Part of our annual exam includes blood work that identifies those women who may be developing heart problems. Specifically, we evaluate your blood lipid levels which can be a reflection of your heart health. If elevated, we can prescribe medications and diets that can help reduce these to a normal level.
When you come in for your annual exam, we also screen for potential heart problems through our review of history and our physical exams. Identifying potential problems can help direct you toward further therapy. We can do electrocardiograms (EKGs) in our office that can quickly diagnose many problems. We have a large list of qualified physicians whom we can refer you to if further evaluation is needed.
Sometimes, simple evaluation of your weight status may be all that is necessary to put you on the road to healthy living. Achieving an appropriate weight is vital to improving your health. If your evaluation suggests this need, we can help you through our weight management programs. These include our HCG True Diet and The True Diet. Ask us for details when you come in for your evaluation.
