The Sanger Clinic's Preventive Cardiology program is designed for people who are concerned about their hearts, whether they already have symptoms of heart disease or they want to prevent future cardiac events.

Studies over several decades confirm the evidence linking risk factors such as high blood pressure and bad cholesterol levels to cardiovascular disease. Modifying your risk factors can slow the progression of the disease. Careful risk assessment and therapy are important steps in promoting and maintaining a healthy heart.

The goal of preventive cardiology is to comprehensively evaluate your risk and provide you with the most effective measures to slow or stop the progression of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Sanger's team of experienced healthcare professionals explore multiple treatment methods for each individual to determine the optimal approach and action plan including lifestyle changes and medications when necessary.
