Heart health care should not begin only after a cardiovascular event. Preventive checks can help identify measurable risk factors such as blood pressure, blood glucose and blood lipids, depending on a person’s age and risk profile.
What may be monitored?
- Blood pressure.
- Blood glucose when appropriate.
- Cholesterol and other lipid measures when recommended.
- Weight and other relevant metabolic measures.
- Tobacco use, activity, family history and other risk factors.
There is no single screening schedule for everyone. Age, medical history, family history and existing conditions influence what a healthcare professional recommends.
