Preventive Cardiology
We offer comprehensive prevention and cardiovascular disease management programs. We have specialists who identify and assess your risk for heart disease, help you manage your risk factors, and assist in getting you on the road to recovery from a cardiac event like a heart attack or bypass surgery.
Lipid Management Clinc
Our Lipid Management Clinic will help you improve your cholesterol levels. We conduct a comprehensive laboratory analysis of your blood beyond traditional cholesterol testing of LDL, HDL and triglycerides. We look at studies like the size of the particles in your blood to determine their likelihood of attaching to the artery walls and causing blockages. Even if your cholesterol levels appear to be in near normal ranges, you may still be at risk for heart disease, especially if you have a family history or a risk profile for disease.
