WHAT?
At-home sample collection device for monitoring the health of your heart by determining the ratios of both good and bad types of cholesterol and triglycerides. Laboratory results are provided within 5 days.
WHY?
While our bodies need cholesterol to build healthy cells, high levels can increase risk of heart disease and stroke.
WHO & WHEN?
An unhealthy heart can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. Leading risk factors are:
- High blood pressure
- High low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Smoking and second-hand smoke exposure
- Obesity
- Unhealthy diet
- Physical inactivity
Doctors may suggest a heart health test for people experiencing the following symptoms:
- Chest pain (poor blood flow to the heart can cause pain or discomfort in the chest)
- Fatigue
- Heart palpitations
- Pain, numbness, weakness or coldness in the arms or legs
- Shortness of breath
- Swelling in your legs, ankles or feet
If your lifestyle includes some of the above or you have symptoms, a heart health check is a good idea.
