Viveda Cardio Assessment is the Newest Tool in the Battle to Prevent Heart Disease
The Viveda Cardio Assessment is the most comprehensive picture of heart health available today. The assessment indicates if certain health behaviors are moving an individual towards heart disease and provides tips to help prevent it from happening.

BLOOMINGTON, IN, February 06, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new personal health assessment could prove to be the difference between good health and heart disease for many people. TheViveda Cardio Assessment, recently released by Predictive Physiology and Medicine (PPM), provides the most comprehensive picture of heart health available today. Even more critical, the assessment indicates if certain health behaviors are moving an individual towards heart disease and provides tips to help prevent it from happening.

Digging deeper than the current cardiovascular tests, the Viveda Cardio Assessment has the predictive power to detect potential problems early. Equipped with this knowledge patients and physicians can make effective decisions for improving health and preventing heart disease - the No. 1 killer of women in America.

The Viveda Cardio Assessment is one of seven new assessments recently released by PPM. Developed to be consumer friendly, Viveda Assessments are the embodiment of the push towards personalized and preventive health care. Unlike any other health test, lab report or evaluation seen before, Viveda is colorful, easy to understand, and informative. The preventive tips, articles, and wellness resources provided in each assessment are customized to the individual's results.

Another benefit of Viveda Assessments is convenient online access to results. Physicians can order, manage and view assessment through the web-based system. Patients have complete control over their results and 24/7 access for viewing, printing or transferring the information to their own personal health record.

The Viveda Cardio Assessment enables individuals to understand their cardiovascular health and empowers them to take action to prevent heart disease. Janet Barrows, a small business owner, just recently completed her Viveda Cardio Assessment. "In the past, I've been given some confusing information about my cholesterol levels. Viveda helped me clearly understand the situation and provided the data my physician and I needed to make informed decisions about next steps." Barrows went on to say, "Viveda gives me the ability to manage my own health."
