Traditional screening for heart attacks is just the tip of the iceberg — find out what risks lurk beneath the surface.... Indians and South Asians are at 2–4x greater risk for heart disease and diabetes. Your annual physical and traditional testing are not comprehensive enough to identify these risks. Fill out the form, evaluate your risk, and see what advanced markers you're missing. Then, scan/email it to admin@southasianheartcenter.org or fax to 650-966-9269.
Sign up for the AIM to PreventTM Program at the South Asian Heart Center to uncover and reduce your hidden risks.

Traditional guidelines underestimate the risk for coronary artery disease and diabetes in Indians and others of South Asian descent. You may see normal results in the upper exposed part of the iceberg E
The cholesterol and glucose tests performed at your annual physical may likely be within normal limits or slightly elevated. Unwary, you cruise along assuming your risk is low and there is not much to change or do.
Watch the unsuspecting ship approaching the iceberg E
However, much like an iceberg, the real danger lurks beneath the surface. The South Asian Heart Center’s advanced screening panel uncovers these hidden risks, such as particle size and number, reverse cholesterol transport, genetic markers, inflammation, dysmetabolism, and most importantly, disorders of lifestyle.
Get ahead. Sign up for South Asian Heart Center’s AIM to Prevent™ Program E
The Center's advanced screening process, AIM to Prevent (Assess, Intervene, & Manage), uses comprehensive Assessment technology, personalized and culturally tailored lifestyle Intervention including expert counseling, and ongoing Management by heart health coaches. AIM to Prevent is like the sophisticated radar/satellite tracking of icebergs vs. just relying on visual detection (traditional testing).
AIM to Prevent is a program for life — a gift from the community to the community E WHAT YOU PAY: $49 (One-time Processing Fee) • All assessment consultations, lifestyle counseling, lifelong coaching, and reports are provided at NO CHARGE to you • Your insurance covers the advanced lab tests.

WHAT YOU GET • A comprehensive, evidence-based, state of the art evaluation of your true risk for developing heart disease and diabetes • A personalized report exposing the hidden risks not otherwise detected by traditional screening • Access to expert and culturally tailored counseling on lifestyle interventions — meditation, exercise, diet, and sleep • One full year with a personal heart health coach and annual follow ups thereafter
