Empower your heart and take control of your health with our Premium Heart Health Home Test. This comprehensive home test includes key indicators of risks to your heart's health, including a full cholesterol profile, tests for inflammation, and a test for diabetes.
How to use
- Start by preparing well, avoid any strenuous activity or consumption of alcohol or any stimulating beverages 24 hours prior to the test.
- Schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider. They will take your medical history and carry out a physical examination.
- You will typically start with vitals such as blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, and respiratory rate.
- You will undergo a blood test. This is to check your cholesterol levels, triglycerides, CRP, blood sugar, and other important heart-health markers. For this, you'll usually need to fast for at least 12 hours before the test.
- An Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) and/or Echocardiogram may be conducted to measure the electrical activity of the heart and monitor its functioning.
- Depending on the initial findings and your doctor’s advice, you may undergo further tests like stress tests, CT scans or an angiogram.
- Post taking all the tests, your healthcare provider will review the results with you and discuss any risks or concerns related to your heart health. They will also suggest changes in lifestyle habits, medications or therapies if required.
- Always follow your healthcare provider's advice and instructions closely for accurate results. It's critical to inform them about any pre-existing conditions or medications you are already on. Further appointments may be necessary depending on your doctor’s recommendations. This might not be a single-day process, as further testing and follow-ups may be needed.
