WHY?

Although cholesterol is essential for building healthy cells, elevated levels can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

WHO & WHEN?

An unhealthy heart raises the risk of heart disease and stroke. Key risk factors include high blood pressure, high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity.

Doctors may recommend a heart health test for individuals experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, fatigue, heart palpitations, numbness or weakness in the extremities, shortness of breath, or leg swelling.

If your lifestyle involves any of the above risk factors or you’re experiencing symptoms, consider a heart health check.
