Diagnóstico por imágenes y examen preventivo del corazón
Los exámenes periódicos del corazón, como el examen de la presión arterial, son importantes para preservar la salud del corazón. Los análisis de sangre se utilizan para examinar los niveles de colesterol y los niveles de glucosa, y las pruebas de diagnóstico por imágenes se utilizan para detectar complicaciones cardíacas o controlar las afecciones actuales.
