Cardiac health refers to the overall health and functionality of your heart and cardiovascular system. A healthy heart pumps blood throughout your body, ensuring oxygen and nutrients reach your tissues and organs.
At Platinum Concierge, your provider can monitor your cardiac health through several methods, including checking your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. They can also perform an electrocardiogram (ECG), which records the electrical activity of your heart to detect irregularities.
A stress test can evaluate how your heart performs under physical stress, usually involving exercise. Your provider may also recommend a Holter monitor, a portable device worn 24-48 hours that continuously monitors your heart rhythms.
In addition, blood tests can detect markers of heart disease, such as high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and imaging tests like MRI, CT scans, and coronary angiography provide detailed images of your heart and its blood vessels.
You should schedule a cardiac health checkup if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Also, if you have nausea or indigestion, which are sometimes mistaken for gastrointestinal issues, It could be a sign of cardiac health issues.
