Heart Screening Details

Tests take approximately 30 minutes, with the appointment lasting about 45 minutes. Screenings include a full lipid panel with total cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure checks. Copies of test results will be provided so participants may follow up with their primary care provider.

Eight hours of fasting is required for accurate test results, and no food or beverages other than water should be consumed after midnight the night before the test. Most medications are okay to take, with water, prior to the screenings. Check with your primary care provider to be sure. Do not make any changes to your medication schedule without checking in with your provider. Also, do not put on hand lotion before the screening.

Refreshments will be available to enjoy after completing your screening.
