Preventive Cardiology Q & A
What is preventive cardiology?
Preventive cardiology has three key goals. First, your provider identifies your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Then they help you prevent heart problems by creating a plan to lower your risk factors. And finally, they treat existing conditions with the goal of stopping disease progression.
When should I get preventive cardiology?
Don’t wait for symptoms to appear before seeing a cardiologist. Instead, schedule a preventive cardiology appointment if you:
- Have a family history of heart attacks, stroke, or peripheral artery disease
- Have familial hypercholesterolemia, which causes high levels of LDL (“bad” cholesterol)
- Have high blood pressure
- Have high cholesterol
- Have prediabetes or diabetes
- Are overweight or obese
- Don’t get enough exercise
- Eat an unhealthy diet
- Smoke cigarettes
You should also seek preventive care at Upper East Side Cardiology if you’ve already been diagnosed with heart disease.
What services will I receive with preventive cardiology?
Your preventive care begins with a physical exam and diagnostic procedures such as an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, stress test, or vascular ultrasound.
Then your provider creates a customized treatment plan that incorporates lifestyle changes and medications when necessary.
The providers at Upper East Side Cardiology offer several advanced therapies, such as:
Mobile cardiac telemetry (MCT)
MCT provides 24/7 monitoring of your heart’s electrical activity. Some MCT devices continuously record your heart, while others capture specific events. For example, you may activate the device when you feel a symptom, or the device may start recording when it detects an abnormal heart rhythm.
Remote cardiac rehabilitation
Thanks to remote monitoring and telehealth, you can rehabilitate at home after a heart attack, angioplasty, or other heart procedure.
