  • Height, Weight, and BMI Calculations via the InBody 230 Scale
    • Provider Consults by CIS Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Matthew Finn.

EKGs check the heart's electrical signals and can detect blockages and more. An EKG is recommended for those with risk factors or symptoms of heart disease.

Thermal imaging screening uses new technology that can detect venous insufficiency.

Risk factors of cardiovascular disease include family history, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes, as well as smoking, being overweight, or being inactive.
