Adult Cardiology

Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute'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.

Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute established the Lipid Clinic in 1991 to provide state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment for patients with lipid disorders. Our treatment includes both dietary intervention and medication management, emphasizing a one-on-one relationship with each patient. Our goal is to extend the length and quality of our patients' lives.
