WHAT is a heart screening?
A heart screening takes no more than 15 mins of your time and consists of a couples simple steps. A doctor reviews:
1. Your family history
2. Your EKG that is taken at the heart screening
3. If everything looks good, you're done! But, sometimes the doctor might want to take a closer look... in which case you get an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) done right on the spot
