A Heart-Healthy You: Starts Here
Heart Health Program
At Crossroads Healing Arts, our comprehensive heart health program is designed to substantially reduce your risk of heart disease.
Take Control of Your Heart Health
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, claiming the lives of nearly 30% of Americans. A recent study showed that 90% of adults over 20 are at risk, primarily due to factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, inflammation, and exposure to environmental toxins.
Our Heart Health Program proactively assesses your risk for heart disease by diving deep into the top 25 risk factors to understand your unique heart health profile
Our Approach
At Crossroads Healing Arts, we offer a comprehensive heart health program designed to assess your current cardiovascular health and provide personalized treatment recommendations. Our approach involves:
-
To begin your journey to optimal heart health, we'll initiate the following:
Cardiac CT Calcium Score: A quick and painless scan to assess calcium buildup in your coronary arteries (we will order this to a local hospital that works best for you).
Comprehensive Blood Work: A detailed analysis of your blood to identify potential risk factors (completed at Crossroads Healing Arts).
Once we receive the results of these tests, you'll schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Quinn to discuss your personalized treatment plan.
-
During your one-hour appointment with Dr. Quinn, you can expect a comprehensive review of your:
Medical History
Cardiac CT Calcium Score
Lab Results
To provide a more accurate assessment of your heart health, Dr. Quinn will perform:
Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) Ultrasound: A non-invasive test to measure plaque buildup in your carotid arteries.

Develop a Tailored Treatment Plan: Provide specific recommendations for:
Supplements
Medications
Lifestyle modifications
