Preventive Cardiology
Preventive cardiology focuses on reducing the risk of heart disease and promoting heart health before problems arise. It involves assessing individual risk factors like cholesterol levels, blood pressure, lifestyle choices, and family history. By adopting healthy habits such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and managing stress, patients can prevent heart-related issues. Preventive cardiologists work with individuals to create personalized strategies, including medications if necessary, to protect heart health over the long term. The goal is to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system and enhance overall well-being.
