Heart Disease Risk Assessment
Cardiac Risk Assessment to Prevent Heart Disease
One in four adults have some form of cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States.
As with many medical conditions, early detection and prevention help increase your treatment options and improve your outcome.
To help identify your heart disease risk factors, Loyola offers the following cardiac risk self-assessment.

Understand Your Heart Disease Risk Factors
A range of risk factors impact your risk for heart disease, including age, gender, hereditary, weight, level of physical activity and your smoking history. These factors, in combination with health conditions such as prediabetes/diabetes or prior heart issues, can raise your risk. Blood pressure and cholesterol levels also play a role. Finally, strong feelings of anger/hostility, stress or depression may also impact your heart health.
If you have two or more risk factors, are concerned about the possibility of heart disease, or would like information on how to reduce your risk factors, contact your primary care physician or cardiologist to discuss your concerns.
