Preventive Cardiology

Preventive cardiology focuses on reducing the risk of heart disease before it becomes serious. It aims to identify risk factors early and prevent the development of conditions such as heart attack, stroke, hypertension, and heart failure through lifestyle guidance, medical management, and regular monitoring.

This approach includes detailed heart risk assessment, personalized diet and exercise advice, control of blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol levels, and long-term follow-up to protect heart health at every stage of life.
