LIVE: Self-screen Your Heart Health Online

FARGO — With all its complicated feelings, the human heart can be a mysterious thing.

But your heart health shouldn’t be.

That’s why Essentia Health is launching an online heart assessment tool you can take to find out your risk of heart disease.

Doctors say signs of heart disease can be hidden, with symptoms you don’t notice, until it’s too late.

Essentia experts say five thousand people have used the free tool so far.

Out of them, forty percent forty percent have made heart appointments after finding out they were at high risk or very high risk.

Essentia cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Charles Canver joined the Morning Show for a live interview on why seeking prevention, early detection and medicine for heart disease are always better than surgical intervention, and how you can make sure your heart stays healthy.
