What is Lp(a)? What are the benefits of calcium scoring? What does it mean to be prediabetic? If you don’t know the answers to these questions, it’s time you found out.

Join Virginia Heart cardiologist Tariq Haddad, MD, for an interactive discussion about best practices in screening for and managing heart disease. Dr. Haddad is a member of the provider panel for Inova’s Preventive Cardiology Program.

Why it matters:

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. While certain risk factors like age and heredity cannot be changed, your physician can help you stay healthy by screening for the key contributors to heart disease – cholesterol, other lipids, blood pressure and blood glucose. These can be successfully managed with lifestyle changes including healthy food choices as well as medication, if needed.
