Every year bikers of all abilities experience cardiac related traumas that could have easily been avoided by screening for preexisting risk factors. The Division of Cardiology at St. Luke's and Roosevelt Hospitals has created a unique program dedicated to reducing cardiovascular risks associated with participation in competitive and recreational sports and exercise. Dr. Merle Myerson, herself an avid runner, is a board-certified cardiologist and Director of the Pre-Exercise Heart Screening Program, the only program of its kind in New York. She has worked with athletes of all levels, from beginner to professional, and is actively involved with other athletic organizations in the City.

Please contact Dr. Myerson if you'd like to learn more about her pre-exercise heart screening services.
