The Heart Clinic Diagnostics

Precise Testing for a Clearer Picture of Your Health Our diagnostic testing is designed to help evaluate
your heart and vascular health, including changes that
may occur
before symptoms appear, and to help guide
a care plan suited to your individual risk factors.

$Bone density testing for heart patients: fall risk and fracture risk need to be considered together, particularly for patients taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication$ Health insurance coverage eligibility for bone density testing: covered on age alone for women 65 and older and men 70 and older with no referral required, with separate criteria for postmenopausal women and other risk groups

$How testing and follow-up care works: a bone density test assesses current bone health and predicts future fracture risk, with results used to build an ongoing management plan rather than simply producing a number$

Bone Density Management for Heart Patients

Heart disease patients need bone density management that considers both medication and fall risk.
Regular testing and tailored treatment reduce fracture risk and maintain systematic bone health care.

Baseline Measurement at First Visit: Heart disease patients
should have baseline bone density
measured when starting
anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy.

Regular Follow-up Testing: Follow-up every 1–2 years based on
T-score. Every 6 months if on
concurrent steroid therapy.

Medication Integration: Bisphosphonate or similar
prescribed at T-score ≤ -2.5.
Drug interactions with anticoagulants
must be considered.

Fall Prevention Education: For patients on antihypertensives
or diuretics: orthostatic hypotension
precautions, strength training and
mobility aid guidance.

Equipment at The Heart Clinic: the DEXXUM T Quantum, a 4-channel fan-beam DXA system for central bone density measurement, giving fast and precise readings of the lumbar spine, hip, and forearm
