Coronary artery disease (the most common form of heart disease) is the leading cause of death for both women and men in the United States.
It is estimated that coronary artery disease claims over 500,000 lives each year—more than all forms of cancer combined!
But heart disease doesn't just result in death—it can damage your heart and reduce your quality of life. That's why it is so important to know the risk factors and early warning signs of heart disease.
The key to fighting heart disease is PREVENTION.
This unique program combines the expertise of preventive cardiologists, registered dietitians, exercise physiologists and nurse practitioners to assess your heart health and risk for heart disease.
We have the time, the tools, and the team to help you realize the health you've imagined.
You will start with a 40-minute consultation with a preventive cardiologist. A thorough cardiovascular history and physical examination will be performed, with assessment of your medical health, family history, and lifestyle factors that impact your risk of heart disease. Based on your individual needs, your cardiologist will recommend a variety of tools to optimize your heart health.
After meeting with your preventive cardiologist, you may be referred to the Heart Healthy Lifestyle Program—a three-month program consisting of in-person and telephone check-ins designed to help you make lasting lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of heart disease.
