BATON ROUGE- The Cardiovascular Institute of the South is hosting a Wine and Wellness event on Wednesday, Oct. 30 from 5-7 p.m.

In addition to enjoying red wine tastings and hors d'oeuvres, guests will also receive an electrocardiogram (EKG) scan and ankle-brachial index (ABI) screening. 

An EKG is a painless test that records the electrical signals of the heart.

The screening can detect blockages, the thickness of the heart wall, past heart attacks and more.
