Heart tip:
You might think keeping your cholesterol in check is enough, but exercise is just as
important. Inactivity raises your risk of heart disease as much as high cholesterol.

Do you have a family history of heart disease,
high blood pressure or diabetes? Do you
smoke? Are you overweight?
If you answered “yes” to one or more of
these questions, and are over the age of 35, take
note: You have a higher risk of developing heart
disease, the No. 1 killer in the United States.
Tri-City Medical Center’s Cardiovascular Health
Institute offers an affordable, comprehensive
screening program that assesses your heart
health, your chances of developing heart disease,
and the steps you can take to decrease your risk
of having a heart attack or stroke. Let our expert
staff help you learn what you can do—through
exercise, nutrition and other steps—to combat
potentially life-threatening issues.
Those who sign up for an assessment will
receive a free 30-day membership to Tri-City
Wellness Center in Carlsbad.
