Frequently asked questions

How often should I get a heart checkup after 40?+

Once a year is reasonable for low-risk adults; more often if you have diabetes, hypertension or a family history.

Will I need to be on medication for life?+

Not always. Some patients reduce medication after sustained lifestyle changes — your cardiologist will guide this.
