Cardiovascular (Heart) Stress Testing:

The test is used to evaluate blood flow to your heart and looks for heart disease.

If you have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, fatigue, and insomnia or have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, a history of smoking or family history of heart disease you may benefit from this test. Even vague symptoms can be warning signs.

Ankle Brachial Index (ABI):

This test compares the artery pressure between the arms and legs and can determine if there is a problem with blood flow, which is a sign of blood vessel disease. This simple non-invasive but important test can pick up early signs of disease, which can signal major problems in the future.

Risk factors that may cause artery blockage include high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, a history of smoking or family history of heart disease.

Bone Density Testing:

Osteoporosis is a major concern for our aging population. Hip and spinal fractures can be painful and lead to life threatening complications. Bone density testing is a painless way to determine if bone loss is present and needs to be treated.

The test is recommended for men age 70 and older and women 65 and older. Younger people with risk factors such as body weight less than 127lbs., history of broken bones, family history of osteoporosis, history of thyroid medication use or the use of steroid drugs for asthma, arthritis or cancer.

Discuss your medical history with your doctor and see if you would benefit from these tests.
