Preventive Cardiology & Rehab
Our preventive cardiology and rehabilitation services focus on one goal: preventing heart attack, stroke and peripheral vascular disease for our patients. Your visit to the center starts with a comprehensive risk assessment. From there, we work with you to build a customized plan to prevent the recurrence or progression of cardiovascular disease.
Types of Patients We See
We welcome patients both with cardiovascular disease and those who may be at an increased risk for heart attack, including those who have:
- A family history of heart disease
- Complex cholesterol disorders (high LDL, low HDL or high triglycerides) or difficulty taking cholesterol medications
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Metabolic syndrome
- A history of smoking
