One-third of all heart attack victims have no warning. People often wait until there is a
crisis before calling the doctor, but in many cases early detection of a health issue can save
lives.
A stroke can be caused by a blockage. If you have regular checkups, your doctor can
detect symptoms of high cholesterol and prescribe medicine to prevent the stroke. High
blood pressure is another health condition that can sneak up on you. It can be detected
during your regular check up.
People who are overweight, smoke, drink, or do not exercise are at even greater risk of
