Prevention of heart disease is at the forefront of our approach to treatment. The General and Preventive Cardiology Program at AAS Medicare uses advanced diagnostics for early detection of cardiac conditions to help lessen the risk of heart disease. Our cardiologists collaborate across multiple teams to provide comprehensive risk assessments, testing and treatments. We work with patients and their families to reduce the likelihood and progression of heart disease through tailored care plans and lifestyle adjustments.

The department conducts risk stratification with the help of cardiac evaluation; blood investigations and newer tests provide a target-oriented approach. Cardiologists plan individual programs based on the conditions of and requirements of the patients. This is done with the help of other departments like preventive medicine, physical rehabilitation and dietary nutrition.

The program involves:
•An integrated approach to the aggressive control of all risk factors, with a special emphasis on cholesterol and blood pressure management
•Individualized nutrition assessment, education and support services
•Intensive counseling and education to promote a heart-healthy lifestyle
•Specialized cholesterol and lipoprotein measurements
•Referrals to cardiac rehabilitation programs
