Heart Hospital of Austin
Executive Wellness Program
We know you’re busy. That’s why we’ve created a program that allows for a comprehensive analysis of your health in a single day. With all the tests in a single location, our team of senior physicians, nurses, nutritionists, technologists and massage therapists are prepared to give you the undivided attention you deserve.
Comprehensive medical history consultation
During this consultation, we will thoroughly discuss your personal and family medical history. This is also your time to express any health concerns. We know from experience preventive care is less expensive and less painful than as-needed, or reactionary, care. Our mission is to empower you with the medical knowledge needed to protect your future.
Physical examination
Your medical history consultation will be followed by a physical examination, which includes a vision/color test, hearing test and a body composition analysis. The focus of the exam is to identify asymptomatic diseases – such as hypertension, obesity, cancer, and diseases of the heart, liver and thyroid.
Complete laboratory analysis
A complete blood analysis provides information on your metabolism and chemical makeup. Some of the tests included in this analysis are a liver profile, metabolic panel, lipid panel, complete blood count, the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test for men and Pap smear for women.
Resting electrocardiogram (EKG) & exercise stress test
Your physician will review the electrical activity and rhythm of your heart, both at rest and while exercising.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) carotid ultrasound
With the use of high-tech imagery, this non-invasive test will measure blood flow in the carotid arteries of your neck. Early detection of significant narrowing or blockage of blood flow can be used to identify PAD. Early treatment of the disease helps reduce your likelihood of a stroke, heart attack or dementia.
Ankle-brachial index test
This technique is used to screen for PAD. This test measures and compares the blood pressure in your upper and lower extremities in order to determine the risk of decreased blood flow resulting from plaque development in your peripheral arteries.
Computerized axial tomography scan
The CT scan of the lungs, heart and internal organs can help detect whether you have early signs of disease. Some of the abnormalities the scan can detect include heart disease, kidney and gallstones, cancerous cysts or tumors, vascular disease, aneurysms and diseases of the lung.
Pulmonary function test
The PFT measures your air flow and lung capacity; it tracks important information regarding your lung function and helps identify breathing limitations.
Nutrition consultation
Based on your laboratory results, our clinical dietician will recommend nutritional changes and provide in-depth dietary instructions. The dietician can answer questions you may have concerning special diets and can suggest ways to improve your dietary habits through the use of a comprehensive nutritional diary.
Massage
Our treatment philosophy focuses on healing, wellness and relaxation. Come prepared to be pampered by our expert massage therapists.
Comprehensive review of test results
Your physician will review the results of the day’s exams and provide you with the knowledge you need to protect one of your biggest investments – your health. We’re here to help you improve the connection between mind and body by encouraging you to lead a healthy, happy life. The sessions are in-depth and informative, and the education and encouragement your senior physician and clinical dietician provide can help you maintain or improve your future health.
As a follow-up to the private consultation, you’ll receive an easy-to-read report that you can share with your family and primary care physician at your discretion.
