Do you really know the score when it comes to your heart’s health? There’s an easy way to find out with Heart Score, offered at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital’s HEARTCARE Rehab/Fitness Center on Ogden Avenue.
The Rooney Heart Institute Heart Score includes:
- Personal Lifestyle Analysis
- Cholesterol Screening (including HDL and triglycerides)
- Blood Sugar Test
- EKG Test
- Blood Pressure Assessment
- Body-Fat Analysis
- Metabolic Syndrome Screening
Heart Score costs only $65 and takes under an hour.
Four Reasons to Choose Heart Score:
- Heart Score is not a mass screening. You will have a one-on-one, private consultation with a health care professional regarding your risk factors.
- In addition to total cholesterol, Heart Score checks HDL, LDL, triglycerides, blood sugar and more.
- Heart Score provides a body-fat analysis in addition to measuring your height and weight.
- To pinpoint your risk factors, Heart Score uses an extensive personal lifestyle analysis.
Heart Score screenings are by appointment only. Call 630-856-7525 today for your appointment at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital’s HEARTCARE Rehab/Fitness Center.
Once your tests have been analyzed, you will receive your results in a comprehensive printout format that will help you understand how to lower your risk of heart disease.

Follow the American Heart Association Guidelines for Cholesterol Screening and Detection:
- All adults over age 20 should have a cholesterol screening.
- Children and adolescents of high-risk families should also have cholesterol screenings (High-risk families are those in which a parent or sibling has had a heart attack before age 55.)
- Anyone with a cholesterol level over 200 mg/dL should have the results confirmed by taking the screening again within 2 months.
- Anyone whose cholesterol level is borderline high (200-239 mg/dL) should follow-up with another screening annually.
