Whelehans Pharmacy:BPro Cardio Screening Clinic this Thursday April 26th

Do you know what your risk of cardiovascular disease? Low? High?

A method of assessing your risk of cardiovascular disease is by measuring the stiffness of your arteries and the “age of your heart”. Healthy arteries are flexible and elastic and blood runs through the veins as if they were lined with a nonstick surface that enhances blood flow like “Teflon”. As we age, this “Teflon” coating starts to get sticky, like “Velcro”, and this leads to many health risks. When arteries stiffen, they are more likely to clog with fatty substances such as cholesterol and cause heart attacks and strokes.

Pro Cardio Screening service at Whelehans Pharmacy Mullingar measures cardio pulse wave determining the health of your arteries for your age based on their elasticity. In simple terms, it measures the “age of your heart”. Taking less about 15 minutes it is very simple, and completely pain free. On completion, you then receive your risk report, which will help you make the right health decisions for your future.
