@nicoleharkinmd: Preventive cardiologists are focused on…… yup, you guessed it, prevention!!! 🔍We look at not just your immediate risk of heart disease but your *lifetime* risk 🔎We look at optimizing both traditional and non-traditional risk factors Who should see one?? Anyone concerned about their heart health risk! But in particular 🩺Strong family history of heart disease 🩺Positive coronary artery calcium score 🩺Risk factors for heart disease like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, inflammatory disorders, etc - especially if not well controlled 🩺History of heart disease or heart attacks, especially if at a young age 🔬We do deep dives into your risk factors, often times order additional testing, and then fine tune your plan with a huge focus on lifestyle changes and medications when needed 🤝 Often a multi disciplinary, collaborative approach is key, and we typically work closely with health coaches and dietitians! Please share this with someone who could benefit from seeing a preventive cardiologist!! #cardiologist #preventitivecardiology #diseaseprevention #doctorsoftiktok #heartattackprevention
