1) Fasting
Please refrain from eating for eight (8) hours prior to your visit.
- Please DO drink water, but avoid all other beverages.
- You may take medications with water.
- Please refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours prior to your visit.
- You are welcome to bring a snack to eat after the fasting portions of your tests have been completed.
2) Clothing
Because your visit includes an EKG, you should wear appropriate clothing.
3) Medical History
Some of the questions regarding family history are critical for formulating an accurate “risk score” and providing a comprehensive medical evaluation, and may require inquiry or research. A detailed family medical history will help our medical providers interpret the history of disease in your family and identify patterns that may be relevant to your own health. This form is needed to assess your risk of certain diseases, determine which diagnostic tests to order as well as type and frequency of screening tests, identify a condition that might not otherwise be considered, and assess your risk of passing a condition on to your children.
Please fill it out to the best of your ability, and if you have questions about portions or were not sure of the best answer, we will review this form with you during your visit.
