    A healthy heart is the key to a healthy and happy life. Knowing the state of your heart health allows you to see the areas in which your health is excelling and others where you could improve. Being aware of your heart health can help you take care of and control your overall health.

    The Checklist to a Healthy Heart will take you through 10 different factors that can help you determine how healthy your heart is and where you can work on improving your heart health. These factors include:

    1. Blood pressure
    2. Blood sugar
    3. Body mass index
    4. Exercise
    5. High-density lipoprotein
    6. Low-density lipoprotein
    7. Tobacco use
    8. Total cholesterol
    9. Triglycerides
    10. Waist measurement

    Go through the Checklist to a Healthy Heart to determine where you stand with your heart health and how you can make changes. Contact your health care provider for more information about your heart health.


    For the safety of our patients, staff and visitors, Mayo Clinic has strict masking policies in place. Anyone shown without a mask was either recorded prior to COVID-19 or recorded in a non-patient care area where social distancing and other safety protocols were followed.
