Heart and Vascular Resources
When your cardiovascular system is at risk, you need expert care. Reid Health offers these resources to help you manage your heart and vascular health.
Resources for better health
Whether you are just starting your cardiovascular journey or have been on it for some time, the Reid Health Heart & Vascular Center offers vital resources. From prevention support to diagnosis, treatment to recovery assistance and beyond, our heart and vascular resources give you insight and knowledge to move you toward better health.
Identify and manage your risk
Heart disease and stroke affect your entire body. These resources help detect and limit the effects of cardiovascular disease.
Heart scan
A CT scan helps look for dangerous buildup inside your arteries, helping to identify your risk for heart disease.
Vascular screening
Vascular screening uses ultrasound imaging and other tests to find peripheral artery disease and other vascular conditions.
Medical nutrition therapy
A heart-healthy diet helps manage several risk factors for heart disease, including high blood pressure and obesity. Through nutrition therapy, you work with a registered dietitian nutritionist to strengthen your heart with the food you eat.
Reid Fitness
At Reid Fitness, medical exercise specialists lead exercise classes that help improve your health after diagnosis and treatment of heart or vascular disease.
