Heart & Vascular Wellness Event

You can learn about your own heart disease risk factors at the Mayo Clinic Heart and Vascular Wellness Screening event.
Mayo Clinic and Red Cedar Medical Center staff will perform six noninvasive tests as well as provide you with personalized education on ways to modify your lifestyle to lower your risk.

• Cardiovascular Health Questionnaire: A detailed set of questions will help personnel understand your test results in the context of your life.
• Blood pressure
• Body mass index
• Lipid profile (measures cholesterol) and glucose (measures blood sugar)
• Ankle Brachial Index (can indicate decreased circulation)
• Carotid Ultrasound (examines the structure of and signs of plaque in your carotid arteries)
