IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
- What is my risk for heart disease?
- What is my blood pressure? What does it mean for me, and what
do I need to do about it?
- What are my cholesterol numbers? (These include total
cholesterol, LDL or “bad” cholesterol, HDL or “good” cholesterol,
and triglycerides.) What do they mean for me, and what do I need
to do about them?
- What is my “body mass index” and waist measurement? Do they
indicate that I need to lose weight for my health?
- What is my blood sugar level, and does it mean I’m at risk for diabetes?
- What other screening tests for heart disease do I need? How
often should I return for checkups for my heart health?
- What can you do to help me quit smoking?
- How much physical activity do I need to help protect my heart?
- What is a heart-healthy eating plan for me?
- How can I tell if I’m having a heart attack?
Eat right, stay active, don’t smoke, see your doctor and live!
