Center for Cardiometabolic Health and Preventative Cardiology

The Center for Cardiometabolic Health & Preventive Cardiology offers innovative therapies to reduce cardiovascular risk, tailoring the best approach for each individual.

Comprehensive Cardiometabolic care

Our cardiometabolic services specialize in early diagnosis and treatment to reduce the risk of heart disease. We focus on identifying and managing cardiometabolic risk to promote heart health and prevent cardiovascular events, particularly in individuals with one or more cardiovascular risk factors.

Risk Factors Include:

There are multiple conditions that can raise your risk for heart attack, stroke and death. Common risk factors that increase the likelihood for cardiovascular disease include:

• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Diabetes

Other risk factors include:

Other risk factors include:

• Obesity
• Inflammation
• Smoking
• Lack of physical activity

Expert diagnosis and treatment

Many cardiometabolic risk factors are controllable and may even be reversible. Primary care providers, cardiologists and endocrinologists are skilled in managing these conditions. Recommendations may include lifestyle changes as well as medications that can help lower your risk.

Cardiometabolic conditions and expertise

Cardiometabolic medicine is a unique approach to the treatment of these conditions, combining their management into one program. It is typically multidisciplinary, including providers that are experts in cardiovascular risk reduction, diabetes and cholesterol management. When appropriate, we partner with other specialists to further reduce risk in patients. These may include (but do not replace your primary care provider):

• Endocrinologists
• Weight loss/bariatrics
• Exercise physiologists
• Nutritionists
• Sleep medicine
• Vascular surgeons

These areas are connected in their risk for cardiovascular disease and should not be treated individually. The best management of cardiovascular risk needs to include the whole spectrum of cardiometabolic conditions.
