About

Houston HeartReach is a collaborative effort joining the cardiovascular clinical and research expertise of Texas Heart Institute's Center for Women's Heart & Vascular Health with the community outreach organizations of the Greater Houston area. Offered through local community centers, employer health fairs and doctor offices, Houston HeartReach programs provide individuals the opportunity to learn more about their health.

Houston HeartReach Women's Healthy Heart Screenings

Did you know a simple test you can detect your blood cholesterol and blood sugar levels? Combined with a quick blood pressure check and a few body measurements, these important numbers inform women of their risk for developing heart disease and stroke. 

If you have diabetes or pre diabetes, you are more likely to have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and be overweight or obese.  Although you may not be experiencing any symptoms you could have uncontrolled risk factors and now is the time to Know Your Numbers so you can make lifestyle changes or seek professional help before it is too late.

THI’s Center for Women’s Heart and Vascular Health is conducting Houston HeartReach health screenings at 6 locations this year to encourage women to learn more about their own risk. Registration is required and space is limited so contact the location nearest you or register online. To see a full list of the screenings planned this year, visit our events page

Houston HeartRich Revisión y detección de Riesgo Cardiaco en Mujeres   

¿Sabía usted  que una simple prueba puede detectar sus niveles de colesterol  y azúcar en la sangre? Combinado con un control rápido de la presión arterial y unas pocas mediciones del cuerpo, estos números importantes informan a las mujeres de su riesgo de desarrollar enfermedad cardíaca y accidente cerebrovascular.

Si usted tiene diabetes o pre diabetes, es más probable que tenga colesterol alto, presión arterial alta y sobrepeso u obesidad. Aunque puede que usted no este experimentando ningún síntoma, podría ser que tenga factores de riesgo fuera de control. Ahora es el momento de conocer sus números para que pueda hacer cambios en su estilo de vida o buscar ayuda profesional.

El Centro para la Salud Cardíaca y Vascular de la Mujer está llevando a cabo exámenes Houston HeartReach en 6 lugares este año.  La meta: alentar a las mujeres a aprender su riesgo de un ataque cardíaco o un derrame cerebral. El necesario registrarse y el cupo es  limitado, así que póngase en contacto con la ubicación más cercana o inscríbase en línea. No espere mas!
