How healthy is your heart?
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Early diagnosis of heart disease is key, so FHN is offering two different screening tests for American Heart Month. If you have no known coronary artery disease and no prior heart issues, you can take advantage of our Heart Health Specials below. CALCIUM SCORING CT HEART SCAN uses 64-slice CT scanner technology to detect calcified plaque in arteries, an indication of potential heart issues. This non-invasive x-ray takes only a few minutes and does not require any physical activity. STANDARD TREADMILL STRESS TEST helps determine heart conditions and may be right for you if you have risk factors for heart disease such as high cholesterol, existing or borderline high blood pressure, a history of smoking, diabetes, or family history of heart disease. You must be able to walk for this test and not have a history of heart problems
