A heart scan could save your life
A heart scan is a quick, painless way to detect early signs of heart disease before symptoms appear. If you have risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history, this simple test could prevent a heart attack.
If you are using insurance, a doctor’s referral is needed to schedule a heart scan. Find a Specialist.

Know the symptoms of a cardiac emergency
The symptoms of an aneurysm may look like other health conditions or problems. Some aneurysms can cause pain in the abdomen, chest, lower back, or groin area. The pain may be severe pain in the back of the abdomen may mean the aneurysm is about to burst. You may also experience a pulsing feeling, like a heartbeat, in the abdomen. Other symptoms may include severe headache, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbance and loss of consciousness.
If you're feeling the symptoms of a heart attack, such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, nausea, or pain in the neck, jaw or arms, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot that develops in a blood vessel in the body (often in the leg). It then travels to a lung artery, where it suddenly blocks blood flow.
Common symptoms include:
- Chest pain
- Coughing or coughing up blood
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting
- Fast heart rate or irregular heartbeat
- Low blood pressure
- Rapid breathing
- Shortness of breath
- Sweating
A stroke can result if the narrowing of the carotid arteries is severe enough that blood flow is blocked. It can block blood flow to the brain if a piece of plaque breaks off.
It’s important to remember the signs of a stroke with the acronym “B.E. F.A.S.T.”
