5 numbers to know for heart health | Ohio State Medical Center

Cardiologist Wesley Milks shares the 5 numbers to know for heart health, which include BMI (body mass index), waist size, blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol. Advanced lab tests can help physicians like Dr. Milks detect how much cholesterol is in the bloodstream and the size of the those particles. Heart doctors also look for evidence of inflammation in the body. An imaging test called the calcium score can also be used to identify if the plaque process is already happening in the body.

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has physicians who treat a variety of heart conditions ranging from prevention to the most advanced stages of heart failure.
