Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, yet it often goes undetected until something serious occurs. The good news is that it's a highly preventable disease and one of the most treatable, especially when caught early.

The Sharp Memorial Outpatient Pavilion offers a comprehensive evaluation that gives you an accurate report of your heart attack and stroke risk in 90 minutes or less.

Our evaluation features SphygmoCor® XCEL technology, which noninvasively measures the blood pressure at your heart. We use the powerful CardioHealth ultrasound that allows our experienced practitioners to scan patients for hidden plaque build-up and increased thickness in the artery wall — both common signs of cardiovascular disease.

Heart attack and stroke screening.

Our heart attack and stroke program is focused on the prevention and early detection of cardiovascular disease. We offer a heart attack and stroke screening to patients, which includes:

• 10-year heart attack risk
• Advanced blood pressure measurement
• Ankle-brachial index ultrasound, which detects peripheral arterial disease
• Blood glucose test
• Body fat measurement
• Body mass index (BMI) and hip/waist ratio
• Cardiac C-Reactive Protein blood test
• CardioHealth carotid ultrasound
• Heart health consultation
• Homocysteine blood test
• Lipid cholesterol panel
• Metabolic syndrome screening
• Review of family history

Following your screening, your results will be summarized by an experienced clinician, who will help you identify steps for achieving and maintaining your best health.
