Cardiovascular Screening
Cutting-edge cardiovascular screening exposes hidden heart threats before they surface. In a country where heart disease claims one life every 34 seconds, proactive prevention is the smartest investment you can make in your health.
Why Cardiovascular Screening Matters
Heart attacks are silent
45% of heart attacks happen with no classic warning signs.
Early action saves lives.
Early detection of plaque, hypertension, or abnormal cholesterol can help you reduce risks with lifestyle changes or targeted therapy.
Personal risk beats population averages
Cardiovascular screening at Impact Health measures your arteries and biomarkers directly, not estimates.
Who Should Consider A Cardiovascular Screening
Major organizations recommend baseline cardiovascular screening, at minimum a cholesterol check, for all adults starting at 20, with testing frequency based on individual risk. Consider booking sooner if you have high cholesterol or blood pressure, diabetes, a history of smoking, central obesity, an early family history of heart disease, or symptoms like unusual fatigue or exertional chest tightness.
What’s Included in a Standard Cardiovascular Screening
- Blood pressure check: Annually for adults 40+ or more frequently if you’re at higher risk. Low-risk adults 18-39 may screen every 3-5 years.
- Cholesterol profile: For low-risk adults, every 4-6 years, more often if risk factors are present.
- Fasting glucose or A1C: For adults 35-70 who are overweight or obese, every 3 years; sooner if additional risk factors apply.
- Body mass index and waist circumference: Measured during routine visits because excess abdominal weight increases cardiovascular risk.
These are the basics, but they won’t find plaque hidden in your arteries. That’s where Impact Health’s advanced cardiovascular screening comes in.
Advanced Cardiovascular Screening at Impact Health
Impact Health in White Plains pairs traditional labs with state-of-the-art technology to find problems early:
- Cleerly AI coronary CT – A quick, non-invasive scan that measures and characterizes calcified and non-calcified plaque, identifies high-risk lesions most likely to rupture.
- Fast, low-dose CT imaging – Shorter scan times mean lower radiation and more comfort.
- Expanded biomarker panels – High-sensitivity CRP, Lp(a), homocysteine, and genetic markers that reveal inflammatory and inherited risks that routine tests miss.
- Lifestyle and metabolic review – Nutrition, sleep, stress, and activity patterns are analyzed and woven into your prevention plan.
Together, these tools give you a 360-degree view of your heart and vascular health, beyond a standard check-up.
