No Symptoms, No Warning: CEO Discovers Major Heart Blockage through Health Screening

Agnes Gervacio discovered a serious heart condition only through executive health screening at Fullerton Health

Agnes Gervacio, Chief Executive Officer of social enterprise Connected Women, has always lived what many would consider a healthy lifestyle – adhering to a vegetarian diet and eating healthily, exercising regularly, and going for regular health screening. Despite this, a routine screening done at Fullerton Health uncovered what had gone undetected for years – a major blockage in one of the blood vessels in her heart that could lead to a heart attack if left untreated.

The test that likely saved her life was a CT calcium score test, which measures calcified plaque in coronary arteries to assess heart disease risk. The test is offered as part of executive health screening (EHS) by Fullerton Health in partnership with RadLink Philippines.
