Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Heart Health
What is the Florida Heart Association?
The Florida Heart Association (FHA) is a non-profit network of independent cardiologists and care providers dedicated to improving cardiovascular outcomes through prevention, education, and access across the state of Florida.
What services does the Florida Heart Association offer?
The FHA offers three core services: Cardiovascular Risk Assessment through comprehensive biomarker testing (cholesterol, A1C, ApoB, inflammation markers), Comprehensive Heart Imaging using advanced CT Angiography to evaluate plaque quality and vessel health, and Referral & Support connecting patients with independent cardiologists who prioritize prevention.
What is the FHA's prevention model?
The FHA uses a dual anatomy-plus-biology approach. Anatomical assessment through CTA imaging evaluates plaque and vessel health, while biological assessment through biomarker testing tracks cholesterol, ApoB, glucose, A1C, and inflammation. The GUARDIAN algorithm combines these results to create personalized care pathways.
How often should I get cardiovascular screenings?
The FHA recommends biomarker-based cardiovascular risk assessments every 4–6 months and comprehensive CT Angiography heart imaging every 24 months. Referral and support services are available anytime.
