AMERICAN HEART MONTH
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Every year, 1 in 4 deaths are caused by heart disease.
Heart disease can often be prevented when people make healthy choices and manage their health conditions.
Cardiovascular screening blood tests assist in early detection of heart disease. Medicare covers screening tests for cholesterol, lipid and triglyceride levels once every 5 years.
