At Forsyth Medical Center Women's Heart Center, we understand that no two women are exactly alike.  That's why the care you receive at the Women's Heart Center is designed specifically around you and your personal needs.   We not only treat the disease, but we work with you to set goals to address the cause of the disease.

Through a one hour personalized risk assessment, we help you to understand your risk factors.  It's only $25 and can improve your overall heart health.  After the assessment has been completed, we will work closely with you and your physician to develop an individualized wellness plan to address any risk factors that were identified. Learn more.

 

In addition, the Women's Heart Center offers many free classes and programs to help you learn more about your heart health and what you can do to lower your risk of developing heart disease.  Learn more.

Cholesterol Testing

Cholesterol screening is performed by a blood test. Persons with high cholesterol measurements from a blood sample tend to have a higher risk for coronary heart disease than those with cholesterol in the normal range. Studies have demonstrated that persons with high cholesterol can reduce their risk for heart disease by lowering their cholesterol. It is important to understand, however, that people can still have heart disease even with cholesterol levels in the normal range.
