Cardiovascular Health Profile (CHP)

CHP includes:

  • Blood chemistry analysis
  • Pulmonary function analysis
  • Muscular strength & flexibility tests
  • Resting & exercise electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Resting & exercise blood pressure
  • Body composition analysis (includes a full body dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan)
  • Physical exam by a Physician
  • Cardio exercise testing (treadmill / ergometer bike)
  • Consultation with an Exercise Physiologist

 
  • Graded Exercise Test
  • DEXA Scan
  • Muscle Strength & Endurance / Flexibility
  • Pulmonary Function
  • Blood Chemistry Analysis

Graded Exercise Test (GXT)

Graded exercise test on either a treadmill or stationary bicycle (ergometer)

Exercise blood pressures and 12-lead ECG
readouts of your heart response to exercise
during all stages of the exercise test

Estimated maximum oxygen uptake

Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)

Measure of bone mineral density,
body fat percentage, & lean body mass
(most accurate measure of body composition)

Information from DEXA exams can prove
valuable in conditions, such as:

Obesity
Anorexia nervosa
Cystic fibrosis
Wasting syndrome
Chronic renal failure

Muscle Strength & Endurance

Strength test on state-of-the-art
Nautilus machines

Muscle endurance tests

Lower back & leg flexibility

Pulmonary Function

Determines respiratory (breathing) capacity
through accurate computer analysis
and helps identify respiratory problems
such as:

Asthma
Emphysema

Blood Chemistry Analysis

Cholesterol: Total cholesterol, HDL & LDL levels
Triglycerides, & HDL-cholesterol ratio

Glucose: analyzes blood sugar level

Liver & kidney enzymes: analyzes renal & hepatic function

(Additional blood testing available upon request, at additional cost)
