| Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation and Holter Monitoring |
|
At Norterra Family Medicine we know that the number one cause of death in the United States is cardiovascular disease. In addition to our programs aimed at therapeutic lifestyle changes to decrease risk of heart disease we offer risk assessment through standard ECG and lipoprotein cholesterol evaluation including insulin resistance scoring. The new NMR lipoprotein analysis provides additional insight to your cholesterol and blood sugar risks. We also work with eCardio to evaluate for dangerous arrhythmias with 7-10 day holter monitoring. Our patients wear this very light weight device that records their heart rhythm around the clock. With this information, you provider can guide your medical therapy including referrals for further work up with a Cardiologist if needed. Call for an appointment today to determine your risk for heart disease! |
