Having a baseline EKG has been proven in studies to have a significant clinical value. According to the Journal of General Internal Medicine, there is a 54% reduction in unnecessary hospitalization when a physician has access to a prior EKG. In addition, a Journal of Medicine study shows that 79% of physicians find a baseline EKG valuable when making diagnostic and treatment decisions for heart patients.

The cost of a Heart Care Screening is $40 and includes:

 
 • A cardiac risk factor questionnaire

 • A resting 12-lead baseline EKG

 • A cardiac assessment consultation
   (with abnormal result)

 • A laminated EKG wallet card

 • Results sent to your primary care physician
