A Beating Heart is a Blessing; cherish it by taking care of it. A Heart Screening is a way of taking care of yourself. Heart Screenings determine if you have a heart problem, and what specific treatments are necessary. Regular Heart Screenings allow your doctor to understand your heart conditions, and help you. Doctors recommend everyone getting preventative heart screenings annually after the age of 45 for men and 50 for women.
