Risk Assessment and Screening for Women
 
We recommend that all women over age 35 have a comprehensive, heart screening and evaluation to determine their personal risk for cardiovascular disease.

The GW Women's Heart Program offers four levels of cardiovascular screening appropriate to woman's level of risk.

Each screened patient receives an individualized risk assessment analysis and a recommended course of action to help reduce her risk for heart disease.

If you are determined to be at risk for heart disease, further diagnostic tests might be recommended.

We are sensitive to a woman's busy schedule and will conveniently set your appointment around your busy calendar.
 
Heart Risk Screening ($60)

Recommended for who want to determine if they're at risk and for women who already know that they're at risk. This includes:

• Review of lifestyle and tobacco use
• Review of heart disease and family medical history
• Cholesterol and glucose level tests
• Blood pressure, heart rate and body mass index
• Screening for pre-diabetes, pre-hypertension, and metabolic syndrome
• Consultation to review results and answer questions

Full Cardiology Consultation
 
The Full Cardiology Consultation is recommended for women with symptoms of heart disease, and women with known cardiovascular disease who desire a comprehensive assessment. The Full Cardiology Consultation includes a physical examination and a detailed consultation with a cardiologist who specializes in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease in women. Further gender appropriate diagnostic tests may be recommended.
