Heart Screenings
Heart screenings are crucial for identifying potential cardiovascular issues before they become serious or life-threatening. Many heart conditions, such as high blood pressure, arrhythmias, or blocked arteries, often develop without noticeable symptoms, making regular screenings vital for early detection. Early diagnosis through screenings allows for timely intervention, reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other complications. Additionally, heart screenings can provide insight into your overall heart health, empowering you to make informed lifestyle choices and work with your healthcare provider to prevent long-term damage.
At Pascack Valley Medical Center, we offer calcium scoring tests to help you stay informed about your heart health. Schedule your $99 heart screening today by calling 201-781-1400.*
