Why is executive heart health important?

Leaders often manage demanding schedules and high responsibility. However, undetected heart conditions can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. Executive heart health focuses on preventive screenings, lab tests, and detailed physical examinations to identify risks early. If any concerns are found, personalized treatment and prevention strategies are recommended.

What happens during an executive heart health visit?

Electrocardiogram (EKG)

Echocardiogram (ECHO)

An imaging test that evaluates heart structure, valves, and blood flow, helping detect blockages or valve abnormalities.

Cardiac stress test
