Whitestone Pharmacy to offer low-cost heart disease awareness testing Whitestone Pharmacy will be offering low cost arterial elasticity testing in an effort to increase health awareness about heart disease and help fight the disease through early detection and prevention on September 28.
Most hospitals treat emergency heart attack victims with a clot-busting drug.
At Montefiore Medical Center, however, specially trained physicians insert a balloon catheter to rapidly restore blood flow into the life-threatening, clogged artery. Over 50 men participated in just the first hour and a half. The 10-minute test includes a physical exam as well as a blood test and participants were also given information on the second most common cancer. Experts say 180,400 new cases will be diagnosed this year. Early detection remains the strongest weapon against the disease.
