Blood pressure
This helps us to determine the force of blood as it is pumped through your arteries. High blood pressure (when the force is greater than normal) could increase your risk of heart disease or stroke.
Normal home blood pressure: 120/80 or below
Normal office blood pressure: 130/90 or below
Interview about health risk factors
Lifestyle and family history often play a big role in whether someone will develop heart disease. We’ll ask about family members, your health and your lifestyle.
EKG (electrocardiogram)
We will adhere patches to your body to give us an EKG. An EKG is a recording of the heart’s electrical impulses. It is used to detect heart damage, such as a previous heart attack, or abnormal heart rhythm.
