Cardiovascular Evaluation

Meaning

Cardiovascular Evaluation represents a systematic clinical and diagnostic process aimed at assessing the current functional capacity and structural integrity of a patient’s heart and vascular system. This comprehensive screening is a non-negotiable step in the initiation and ongoing management of hormonal therapies, particularly those involving sex steroids or growth hormone. The evaluation provides an essential baseline risk assessment for potential adverse events. It allows clinicians to tailor hormone regimens to minimize cardiovascular strain and promote long-term well-being.
