February 22, 2024: Get a Better Picture of Your Heart Health in Minutes with Dr. Avelar
Come learn how a simple CT angiography/calcium exam can reveal lesions inside your heart’s blood vessels that could lead to a heart attack. The exam takes minutes and is faster, more accurate and more comfortable than a stress test and less invasive and less expensive than a cardiac catheterization study. Join us to learn more!
Free parking. Breakfast will be provided.
Come prepared with questions about your heart health and receive answers during our free breakfast. Registration is free but limited, so be sure to register today.
