Free Heart Health Screening + Gift Card
Posted by duuuuhBears@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 14 comments
Researchers at UT Dallas are conducting a population study on cardiovascular risk factors. As part of this, free cardiovascular health screenings are being offered at Flourish Events Dallas from June 1-3. The screening takes about 10 minutes, you don’t need to fast, and you’ll receive a $45 VISA gift card for participating that can be used anywhere.
This isn’t just a basic cholesterol check. You’ll get valuable insights most doctors don’t routinely test for. Here’s what’s included:
- Lipid panel - Measures cholesterol levels.
- Lp(a) - A genetic type of “bad” cholesterol that about 1 in 5 people have high levels of. It's rarely tested for because it’s expensive, but it only needs to be checked once in your life.
- HbA1c - Tracks average blood sugar over the past 3 months and helps detect prediabetes or diabetes.
- hsCRP - Looks for inflammation that can lead to heart disease.
- eGFR - Measures kidney function.
This info can help prevent heart attacks, strokes, kidney damage, vision loss, and more. Plus, by participating, you’re contributing to important medical research that could help millions of people.
