HealthYes! Expands Preventive Screening Offering by Focusing on Heart Disease
AUSTIN, Texas - (BUSINESS WIRE) - HealthYes!, a leading mobile medical screening provider, is offering
several new preventive screenings directly focused on heart disease. The
new tests include: a six-lead electrocardiogram (EKG), cholesterol
finger-stick, and 10-year Framingham Cardiac Risk Score as well as
diabetes and liver function testing. HealthYes! is able to provide more
testing for nearly the same cost of their current screening packages.
"Our clients requested these crucial tests and HealthYes! once again
responded to the market," said Dale W. Wood, president, HealthYes!
All HealthYes! medical assistants have completed the Cholestech
Proficiency Certification Program, in order to administer the new
screening tests. HealthYes!'s new tests will be included in a seven
screening package, priced at $199.99.
Dr. Vu Nguyen, cardiologist for Texas Cardiovascular Consultants at St.
David's Hospital, worked closely with HealthYes! to develop their
six-lead electrocardiogram screening protocol.
"Now we can image the arteries and blood vessels and I think that really
adds to the information in terms of telling people how at risk they are
for heart attacks and strokes," said Dr. Nguyen.
Legacy health screenings still offered by HealthYes! include:
Stroke/Carotid Artery Disease Screening, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
(AAA), Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), Arterial Stiffness Index (ASI),
and Osteoporosis.
The new screening services being offered by HealthYes! include:
-
Electrocardiogram- Identify and assess the electrical activity
and "Rhythm" of your heart, as well as your risk for silent heart
attack, atrial fibrillation, and ischemia by employing.
-
Framingham Risk Score- Identify and assess the risk of a major
cardiac episode in the next 10-year timeframe by looking at risk
factors including age, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic
blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes and cigarette smoking.
-

diabetes by collecting small blood samples for analysis. Total
Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides and Glucose are calculated.
