Women's Comprehensive Testing
 Consistent with Covenant’s history of cardiac care firsts, we are now the home of the first comprehensive cardiac screening program for women in the state of Texas.
The strength of our program lies in the individualized attention during both the screening and the counseling sessions. During the screening process patients will be seen by an exercise specialist and a cardiac nurse for:
-
Cardiac nursing assessment
-
Baseline resting EKG
-
Blood pressure and an ankle brachial index (ABI)
-
Blood work: Complete Metabolic Panel, Lipid Panel, Complete Blood Count, Thyroid, C-reactive Protein and Homocysteine
-
Urinalysis
-
Body composition (skinfold)
-
Customized exercise program
-
Two-day food analysis
Results from the screening process will be reviewed by a cardiologist. Then, with our cardiac nurse and exercise specialist, the patient will have a 45-minute one-on-one counseling session. We then send all of your results to your Primary Care Physician, so that he/she may follow-up on your results as well.
*We will test men also by request.
If you are interested in our verifying your insurance,
please call 1-866-6WOMENS or 725-4386.
All screenings are done by appointment only.
