Beat heart disease before it starts.
Heart disease is often preventable. With regular check-ups, healthy habits and early care, you can learn about your risk and take steps to protect your heart.
Why preventative heart care matters
Many people think heart disease only becomes a concern when symptoms show up. But heart problems can develop slowly over time — even when you feel fine.
While certain factors can increase your risk, heart disease can affect anyone. That’s why preventive heart care matters. It helps you understand what’s happening in your body early, before small issues become serious.
Preventive care is a way to stay curious about your health. It gives you a chance to understand your heart risk factors and make changes that support a longer, healthier life. Even small steps — like managing blood pressure or cholesterol — can make a big difference over time.
Who should consider preventive heart care
Heart disease can affect anyone — even people who feel healthy. You may benefit from a preventive checkup if you:
- Have a family history of heart disease
- Are age 40 or older
- Have health concerns like high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes
- Currently smoke or have smoked in the past
- Are carrying extra weight, overweight or not physically active
- Simply want peace of mind and a clearer understanding of your heart risk
What to expect in your preventive heart care appointment
Preventive heart care gives you answers, support and a plan you can feel good about. It often includes:
-
A heart risk assessment to understand your health history, lifestyle and family risk — so you know where you stand -
Screenings that can spot problems early, sometimes before symptoms start — because early action can help prevent bigger issues later
-
A personalized plan to protect your heart, with guidance you can use in your daily life, including follow-up care when needed
-
Advanced support for more complex cholesterol needs, including deeper lipid and genetic testing, plus access to the latest medical therapies and clinical trials when appropriate -
