How to Detect Early Signs of Heart Disease

Even if you have no symptoms, you may still be at risk for heart disease. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that half of the men who die suddenly of coronary heart disease had no previous symptoms. A lack of symptoms, however, doesn’t mean that heart disease is undetectable.

On the contrary, early detection of heart disease leads to the best outcomes for patients, ensuring that your treatment plan begins with a proactive conversation with a cardiologist and not a trip to the Emergency Room. That’s why the CHI St. Vincent Heart Institute created the HeartSmart Screening Program.
