Screening

Silverton Hospital's 64-slice CT Scanner gives our physicians a state of the art diagnostic tool. This technology provides greater detail and three-dimensional images for both diagnosis and motivation to reverse heart disease.

• Crystal clear images of the heart to better identify soft plaque - the earliest indication of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
• Captures minute, potentially life threatening abnormalities on the inside of artery walls while there is time for preventative measures
• Quicker, more comfortable and less invasive than other diagnostic techniques
• Non-invasive, pain-free

All participants have a graded exercise stress test, as well as evaluation of strength, balance and flexibility. The results are used to develop an appropriate baseline exercise prescription. Additional outcome measures are performed, including lipid panels, CBC, c-reactive protein, glycated hemoglobin, body mass index, blood pressure and stress/depression scores.
