ARE YOU AT RISK FOR A HEART ATTACK?

What if an easy, online quiz could predict your risk of having a heart attack? If you have a diagnosis or family history of certain cardiovascular diseases — such as hypertension, high-cholesterol, heart attack, stroke or other conditions — the free HeartAware risk assessment can provide you with important insights to your heart health. If the quiz determines you are at risk, you can choose to connect with a UHealth cardiac nurse for a free telephone consultation to discuss your risk for heart attack. If the quiz determines you are at risk, then you will be eligible for a low-cost calcium screening.

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (AFIB) AND HEART ARRHYTHMIA DISORDERS

Jeffrey Goldberger, M.D. is a leading expert in atrial fibrillation. Under his leadership, UHealth has developed the only multidisciplinary AFib risk modification program in the state of Florida, offering patients personalized treatment plans to medically manage and surgically treat AFib. Dr. Goldberger and his team are pioneers in developing an advanced diagnostic technology to map the electrical impulses of the heart to precisely identify the muscle cells in the heart where AFib is occurring, so that they can be targeted with ablation therapy with pinpoint accuracy. This can result in the complete cure of AFib for many patients.
