Cardiovascular Assessment in Myrtle Beach

Take Charge of Your Heart Health with Functional Medicine Testing

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of illness in the United States — but many cardiovascular problems can be prevented if risks are identified early. At Unity Health in Myrtle Beach, we offer comprehensive cardiovascular assessments designed to uncover hidden risk factors and help you protect your long-term health.

Our functional medicine approach goes beyond traditional screenings. Instead of waiting until symptoms appear, we evaluate your vascular health, metabolic function, and lifestyle factors to create a proactive, personalized plan for prevention and wellness.

Why Cardiovascular Assessments Matter

Standard blood pressure checks and cholesterol tests don’t always tell the whole story. Many patients have “normal” results but still develop heart disease or related conditions. That’s because cardiovascular health is influenced by a variety of factors, including:

  • Inflammation and oxidative stress

  • Blood sugar control and insulin resistance

  • Hormone imbalances

  • Nutrient deficiencies

  • Environmental toxins

  • Lifestyle stressors (diet, activity level, sleep, stress)

By addressing these hidden drivers, we help patients in the Grand Strand reduce their risks and take charge of their health before serious problems occur.

What Our Cardiovascular Assessment Includes

At Unity Health, your cardiovascular assessment may involve:

  1. Detailed Health History & Risk Review – Family history, lifestyle, and symptoms.

  2. Advanced Lab Testing – Lipid panels, inflammatory markers, blood sugar, and hormone levels.

  3. Cardiovascular Risk Screening – Identifying early warning signs not caught by standard testing.

  4. Personalized Prevention Plan – Nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and stress management strategies.

  5. Ongoing Monitoring – Regular check-ins to track improvements and adjust care.

Who Should Consider a Cardiovascular Assessment?

You don’t have to wait until you have heart problems to benefit from testing. You may be a good candidate if you have:

  • Family history of heart disease

  • High cholesterol, triglycerides, or blood pressure

  • Pre-diabetes, diabetes, or insulin resistance

  • Chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort

  • Ongoing stress, poor sleep, or weight struggles

  • Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions

Even if you feel healthy, a cardiovascular assessment provides peace of mind and early insights into how your heart is functioning.

Benefits of a Cardiovascular Assessment

  • Detect hidden risk factors before they become serious

  • Understand your complete heart health picture

  • Personalized prevention strategies, not one-size-fits-all care

  • Support hormone balance and metabolic function

  • Improve energy, stamina, and overall vitality

  • Peace of mind knowing you’re taking steps to protect your future health

FAQs — Cardiovascular Assessment

Q: How is a cardiovascular assessment different from a regular check-up?
A: Unlike standard physicals, our assessment includes advanced testing for inflammation, hormones, and metabolic health that can detect risks missed by routine labs.

Q: Is this only for people with heart problems?
A: No. Many of our patients feel healthy but want to be proactive in protecting their heart health. Prevention is key.

Q: How often should I get tested?
A: This depends on your health history and risk factors. Some patients benefit from yearly testing, while others may only need follow-ups every few years.

Q: Will insurance cover this?
A: Some standard labs may be covered, but advanced testing is often self-pay. We review all options upfront so there are no surprises.

Q: What if my results are normal?
A: That’s great news — but it also provides a baseline to track changes over time and ensures you’re staying ahead of any risks.
