Advanced Lipid Testing
Evaluation of cardiovascular risk by measuring particle size, particle number, inflammation markers, and genetic contributors to cholesterol abnormalities. This comprehensive assessment helps identify hidden risks, personalize treatment plans, and guide targeted therapies to better prevent heart attack, stroke, and long-term cardiovascular disease.
Minimally Invasive Coronary Stenting
Procedure used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. A small mesh tube, called a stent, is placed to keep the artery open, restoring blood flow to the heart. It relieves chest pain, reduces heart attack risk, and improves overall cardiac function.
Structural Heart Procedures Left Atrial
Appendage Closure
Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a minimally invasive procedure that helps prevent strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation. A small device seals off a small heart pouch called the left atrial appendage, reducing the risk of blood clots. It’s an alternative for patients who cannot take long-term blood thinners
Seven Risk Factors for Heart Attack
Family History
A family history of heart disease can increase your risk of a heart attack. If close relatives have experienced cardiac conditions, especially at a younger age, it is important to discuss your family medical history with your doctor to better understand your personal risk.
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure places added strain on the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart attack over time. Monitoring your blood pressure regularly and managing it through lifestyle changes or medication can help protect your heart.
Diabetes
Diabetes affects how the body processes sugar and can damage blood vessels that supply the heart. Poorly controlled blood sugar significantly raises heart attack risk, making proper diabetes management essential for long-term cardiovascular health.
High Saturated Fat & Cholesterol Diet
A diet high in saturated fats and cholesterol can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, restricting blood flow to the heart. Adopting heart-healthy eating habits can help reduce cholesterol levels and lower heart attack risk.
Sedentary Lifestyle
A lack of physical activity can weaken the heart and contribute to weight gain and poor circulation. Regular exercise helps strengthen the heart, improve blood flow, and reduce the risk of heart attack.
Smoking
Smoking damages blood vessels and reduces oxygen levels in the blood, increasing the likelihood of heart attack. Quitting smoking can rapidly improve heart health and significantly lower cardiovascular risk.
Narcotic Drugs
The use of narcotic or illicit drugs can place extreme stress on the heart and disrupt normal rhythms. Avoiding drug use and seeking medical support when needed can greatly reduce the risk of sudden cardiac events.
