Preventive Health Screenings at Cogent Family Healthcare
In Mountain View, California, Dr. Stephen Sims goes beyond traditional preventive health screenings to offer advanced screenings to detect chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as well as to identify risk factors that can cause life-threatening acute episodes of heart attack and stroke.
Even if you don’t experience any signs or symptoms of disease, heart disease is known as the silent killer. As plaque builds inside your arteries, it can cause a clot that leads to the heart or brain, causing a heart attack or stroke.
Being overweight or obese and leading a sedentary lifestyle can lead to type 2 diabetes. Diabetes can cause numerous complications including eye disease and blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, nerve damage in the extremities, and poor circulation resulting in wounds that won’t heal and foot or leg amputation.
