Who Needs to Have the CVProfilor® Test?
The CVProfilor® test is important because the earlier
cardiovascular disease risk is identified, the earlier you
and your physician can identify ways to prevent further
progression of cardiovascular disease or even improve
vascular health. If you are between the ages of 15 and 65,
have a family history of cardiovascular disease or diabetes,
and/or you have risk factors for cardiovascular disease
(smoking, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, lack of
regular exercise), it is important that you establish a
baseline evaluation of your artery elasticity as soon as
possible.
Research has shown that cardiovascular disease occurs at all
ages in both men and women. Therefore, premature stiffening
of your arteries may be an important indication to your
physician that you have underlying vascular disease. If so,
further diagnostic evaluation and preventive measures need
to be taken, before the disease progresses.
