Preventive Cardiology
An Introduction to Preventive Cardiology
Preventive cardiology covers all aspects of the prevention and lowering the risk of cardiovascular heart diseases and their complications, including reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Consisting of primary and secondary prevention, preventive cardiology aims to reduce incidence and mortality stemming from diseases such as ischaemic heart disease. Methods to evaluate patient risks of developing cardiovascular diseases or suffering cardiovascular events, including examination of lifestyle and hereditary factors, other pre-existing conditions, cardiac imaging, diagnostic tests and more, can be used to identify patients who are most at-risk and provide multidisciplinary risk intervention to mitigate those risks and achieve heart-healthy lifestyles for patients.
