Cardiovascular Wellness Program
The Cardiovascular Wellness Program is dedicated to the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Working with the individual’s primary care physician, a detailed cardiovascular risk factor assessment is performed in order to determine the most effective course of prevention and treatment.

Advanced techniques such as cardiac calcium scoring (ultra-fast CT) may be used for very early diagnosis of cardiac disease, before it starts to cause symptoms. High-risk individuals are given appropriate counseling and treatment in the Lipid Clinic. Here, an individual’s cholesterol profile and metabolic factors are assessed to help in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Dietary recommendations, medication counseling, and a cardiovascular exercise program are also offered to help reduce the risk of heart attacks.

Cardiovascular Research Program
The Cardiovascular Research Program focuses on advancing our understanding of cardiovascular diseases and developing new treatments. Clinical researchers participate in studies that help define the best treatment for specific cardiovascular conditions. Physicians have access to the latest innovations and advances in medications and technologies to help care for their patients.
