If you have a family history of heart disease or if you are a man older than age 40, or a woman older than age 45, you owe it to yourself--and your loved ones--to get screened.
Our $25 Heart Screening includes:
• EKG monitored fitness test (a non-diagnostic test) or 12-lead EKG
• Cholesterol profile
• Blood pressure measurement, body fat analysis, height and weight check
• A Cardiac Risk Profile Report with customized instructions for reducing risks
Your exam will be performed by highly skilled exercise physiologists, clinical nutritionists, and nurses--all backed by expertise of the University of Chicago Hospitals' cardiology team.
