This painless test is revolutionizing preventive care in Central Texas. Located on the first floor of the Heart Hospital of Austin, the HeartSaver CT lab provides the possibility of early detection of heart disease when it is most easily treated.
As the number one killer of men and women in the United States, heart disease claims more lives than the next six causes of death combined — about one death per minute. Risk factors include:
- Family history of heart disease
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Smoking
- Diabetes
- Overweight
- Inactive lifestyle
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
- Erectile Dysfunction
Men ages 40-65 or women ages 45-70 with one or more of these risk factors can make an appointment for screening. If you are outside these age ranges, you must bring a written physician referral to your appointment.
