Cardiac Evaluation for High Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
Managing hypertension and cholesterol may involve more than tracking individual numbers. Your provider may also evaluate how cardiovascular risk factors are affecting your overall heart health.
Depending on your needs, your care may include:
Echocardiography
An echocardiogram may help assess heart structure and function, particularly when long-standing high blood pressure or other cardiovascular concerns require further evaluation.
Treadmill Stress Testing
Stress testing may be recommended when symptoms or cardiovascular risk factors require assessment of how the heart responds to physical activity.
Vascular Testing
Carotid or lower-extremity arterial ultrasound may be considered when vascular disease or circulation concerns are part of your cardiovascular risk profile.
Your provider will determine which tests are appropriate based on your symptoms, medical history, and individual risk factors.
