Strong Heart, Stronger Future.
Because Every Beat Matters
February is Heart Health Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease the
leading cause of death worldwide and empowering us all to take proactive steps toward better
heart health.
On Wear Red Day, we invite everyone to wear red as a symbol of strength, awareness, and
commitment to protecting our hearts.
Why Heart Health Matters
Heart disease often develops silently, with few or no warning signs until it becomes serious. The
good news? Early detection can save lives. Understanding your risk and acting early makes all
the difference.
Simple lifestyle changes, healthy eating, regular exercise, managing stress, and routine health
checks go a long way in protecting your heart.
Advanced Heart Screening We Offer
At Radiology West, we support heart health with advanced, non-invasive imaging that helps
detect heart disease early:
Calcium Score (Coronary Calcium Scan)
- Measures calcium buildup in the coronary arteries
- Helps assess your risk for heart disease before symptoms appear
- Quick, painless, and non-invasive
- Ideal for patients with a family history of heart disease or multiple risk factors
Coronary Imaging
- Provides detailed images of the heart’s blood vessels
- Helps identify narrowing or blockages in the coronary arteries

These studies give physicians powerful insight into your heart health allowing for earlier intervention and better outcomes.
