Cardiac Fitness Profile
Cardiovascular disease is American’s No.1 killer, claiming more lives each year than cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, accidents and diabetes mellitus combined, according to the American Heart Association. Because heart disease is so pervasive, we’ve developed a custom program to measure your risk.
To help you determine your risk for heart disease, the Heart Institute & Wellness Center in Orange County offers a Cardiac Fitness Profile. Make an appointment today by calling 949-452-7255.
Your heart’s future–the Cardiac Fitness Profile compares your heart history, lifestyle and tests to others of your age and gender so that we can make predictions about your susceptibility to heart disease.
