With Coronary Artery Disease affecting over 14 million men and women in the United states every year, it is a good idea to examine what your particular risk factor is for developing the disease, and what lifestyle changes to consider making to prevent you from becoming a member of this statistic group.
If you have risk factors for heart disease, then you should see a health care provider. It might be recommended that you undergo a calcium screening. This can be done through a cardiovascular heart scan. It will take images of your heart to determine if you have arteries plaque deposits. It is also a good idea to do so if you have had any heart procedures or open heart surgery. You can have plaque in your arteries. Once you know that you have plaque in your arteries, you will be in increased risk for developing heart attacks.
