Knowing your risk for heart disease is the first step in maintaining a healthy heart

Despite advances in treatment, cardiovascular disease still claims one out of every three deaths in the United States. At Boston Heart Diagnostics, all we do, every day, is work to reduce cardiovascular disease—by providing the information and tools needed to better predict cardiovascular risk—and to improve heart health.

The best strategy to prevent and manage cardiovascular disease is to understand your risk and embrace a heart healthy lifestyle. Traditionally, healthcare providers focused on a patient’s cholesterol levels as the primary indicator of risk. However, knowing your cholesterol levels is not enough.

Boston Heart Diagnostics’ research and science has advanced technology, which goes far beyond standard cholesterol screening to accurately determine your individual risk of cardiovascular disease.
