Sat, 22 September 2007 What's Your HEART Score? This week I talk to Dr. Arch Mainous, Ph.D. about the HEART score which is a risk assessment tool that he and his colleagues in the Department of Family Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina developed. Listen to Fitness Rocks podcast 064 for an excellent discussion of the various risk factors for heart disease and to learn how you can use the HEART score to assess your current risk of having a heart attack. Of course, we also talk about strategies to reduce your risk of heart disease. References: A Coronary Heart Disease Risk Score - American Journal of Cardiology Music: Jon Schmidt - All of Me |
