Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a significant global health concern, affecting individuals across all age groups. While often perceived as conditions of older age, young men are also susceptible to CVDs, making cardiovascular screening in this population imperative. This article explores the importance of cardiovascular screening in young men, emphasizing the early detection of risk factors, implementation of preventive measures, and promotion of heart health from an early age. By identifying modifiable risk factors early, healthcare providers can educate young men about healthy lifestyle choices and implement interventions to reduce their risk of developing CVDs later in life. The components of cardiovascular screening, including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and additional testing, are discussed, along with the opportunity for promoting heart-healthy behaviors. Investing in cardiovascular screening and prevention efforts in young men is crucial for mitigating the burden of CVDs and promoting lifelong heart health.
