Get screened at Silver
Cross Hospital and
learn how to prevent
heart disease
Silver Cross Hospital’s
Love Your Heart Screening
is Feb. 22. One out of
every four deaths in the
United States is from heart
disease; that’s why Silver
Cross Hospital encourages
area residents to reduce
their risk of cardiovascular
disease by following a
healthy lifestyle and getting
screened regularly.
Take these steps now to
adopt a heart-healthy
lifestyle by
• Eating a healthy
diet (limit fat, sugar,
salt; eat plenty of fruits
and veggies)
• Maintaining a healthy
Body Mass Index
• Doing 2.5 hours of moderate
exercise every
week. (Even 10-minute
increments of brisk
walking can help keep a
heart healthy).
• Learning your numbers
(blood pressure and cholesterol
levels).
Best of all, on Saturday,
Feb. 22, one can find out
how healthy their heart
is for just $45 at the hospital’s
Love Your Heart
screening. The baseline
cardiac risk assessment
will include measurements
of total cholesterol including
HDL and LDL levels,
blood glucose level,
triglyceride level, blood
pressure and body fat; and
a 12-lead EKG.
Guests will also receive
a heart-healthy breakfast,
important health information,
giveaways and more.
Plus, free lectures by
heart specialists will discuss
ways to minimize
your heart disease risk factors,
eat healthier and exercise.
Seating is limited so register
early for Love Your
Heart at silvercross.org
or by calling (888) 660-
HEAL (4325).
Get your heart scanned
Calcification in the coronary
arteries is the earliest
indicator of heart disease.
The good news is that
calcium artery scoring at
Silver Cross Hospital and
Silver Cross Health Center
in Homer Glen can predict
heart disease long before
symptoms even start.
Calcium artery scoring
is a quick, painless exam
that uses high-speed CT
scanning to measure calcium
deposits in one’s heart.
It’s ideal for men over age
45 and women over age
55 who smoke, have high
blood pressure, high cholesterol
or a family history
of premature coronary artery
disease.
The scan produces a
score that identifies one’s
level of calcium deposits.
A higher score means one
has more plaque in your
coronary arteries, putting
one at greater risk for a
heart attack. Find out your
risk and what you can do
to lower it.
Who should get screened
• Family history of heart
disease
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Smoking habit
• Physically inactive
• Diabetic
• Overweight
• Men over 45
• Women over 55 (postmenopausal)

Heart Scan today, call
