heart health screenings
who should consider heart screening?
People usually think that medicine is primarily focused on treating diseases, yet many times screening people against cardiovascular disease proves even more beneficial. Cardiology Care places considerable emphasis on heart health screening in an effort to uphold your general well-being. When visiting your primary care doctor regularly, they usually check for known risk factors such as cholesterol and blood sugar levels. They do not provide recommendations, or even additional attention if such indicators fall into the negative or marginal zone which implies that, initially, a certain degree of damage could have already taken place. Heart disease is common in most people so preventive care should come first, particularly in high-risk persons.
At our cardiology clinic in NYC, our experienced cardiologists recognize that regular heart screenings are valuable for most individuals. Still, certain groups of people can particularly benefit due to their elevated risk factors. These groups include those with a family history of cardiac issues, individuals with a personal history of heart illness from a young age, those with cholesterol disorders, and those with multiple uncontrolled risk factors. Our team of top cardiologists in NYC is here to provide expert care and heart health screenings to help you stay proactive in safeguarding your cardiovascular health.
