This package is designed to help
those patients with known cardiovascular disease minimize their
risk of future cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke.
It is also beneficial for those clients who have no known disease
but who are concerned about cardiovascular disease due to a family
history, genetic prediliction or other risk factor such as smoking
or high cholesterol levels. All the necessary tests including the
most advanced Cardio Genomic Profile are utilized to assess the
predisposition and severity of a cardiovascular problem. A full
program for a lifestyle change is addressed.
How Does the Program
Work?
The program specializes in prevention,
early detection and the treatment of cardiac problems, with an
emphasis on rehabilitation. Using state-of-the-art technology,
program members provide patients with a comprehensive cardiovascular
risk assessment. Based on those results, a skilled,
multidisciplinary team devises an individual plan and educates
patients on how to improve their heart health, which can include
modifying their diet and lifestyle.
This is accomplished with a combination
of individual and group therapies such as diet, food preparation,
weight control and smoking cessation classes.
In addition to cardiac problems, patients
are screened for all types cardiovascular diseases, including
blockages and clotting of the legs, neck, heart and kidneys.
Diseases such hypertension, high
cholesterol and diabetes are our targets for prevention. We examine
patients much earlier to prevent these conditions. We look at
the entire scope of the vascular system.
To that end, we look at the entire
scope of the vascular system.Various screenings may include
screenings of the carotid arteries, coronary arteries, testing for
peripheral arterial disease (PAD/PVD), and renal artery
stenosis.
What Kind of Testing Occurs
During the Initial Visit?
When patients begin the program, they
will have a complete physical, as well as advanced blood tests,
which can include a total cholesterol test called the lipoprotein
test. A complete family history, medical history and lifestyle
history will be taken.
