Preventive cardiology can stop you from suffering
serious heart complications and possible death
from heart-related problems.

• When it comes to caring for your heart and
  overall wellness, the Corrielus Cardiology team
  places a great emphasis on preventive cardiology.
  This begins with a comprehensive assessment of
  your risk for heart disease. Many heart disease
  risk factors are controllable and treatable,
  including
• ? Dietary habits
• ? Stress management
• ? Exercise
• ? Smoking habits

Heart disease causes many deaths for both men and
women in the United States and around the world.
An echocardiogram is a safe, highly effective
study that can help prevent heart disease.

What does preventive cardiology involve?

• Preventive cardiology involves cardiac screening
  and evaluation, including a comprehensive
  assessment of all of your cardiovascular risk
  factors.
• Preventive screening includes cardiac tests to
  assess your heart function. Typical tests that
  you might need include
• ? Blood pressure readings
• ? Measurement of blood glucose levels
• ? Lipid level evaluation
• ? Noninvasive stress testing
• ? Doppler ultrasound
• ? Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) procedures
• The information from screening tests helps
  identify any risks you have for heart disease.
• If the team finds anomalies that require further
  investigation, they can conduct additional tests
  like an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of your
  heart).

How can I use preventive cardiology to improve my
heart health?
The results of your preventive cardiology
screening can act as a major wake-up call.
Knowing you have risk factors like excess body
weight, high cholesterol levels, and high blood
pressure can motivate you to make healthier
lifestyle choices toward reducing your risk of
heart disease.

• The experienced team at Corrielus Cardiology can
  provide you with the tools you need to live a
  heart-healthy life and use noninvasive therapies
  to slow or stop the progression of heart disease.
  They take a uniquely collaborative approach to
  your cardiovascular care and can diagnose and
  treat most heart conditions as well as improve
  your overall wellness.

Is it possible to avoid heart disease using
preventive cardiology?
Preventing heart disease is possible when you
receive the right information about your risk
factors at an early stage and know how to
recognize the symptoms of heart disease.
Fortunately, many forms of heart disease are
preventable, and most are treatable using
conservative measures early on. This is
especially true of conditions like
atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.
Preventive cardiology is, therefore, a vital
weapon in the fight against heart disease.

• In some cases, you might require a different type
  of echocardiogram, such as a transesophageal
  echocardiogram (TEE). With TEE, the transducer is
  shaped more like a slender probe.
• The technician passes the transducer down your
  throat while you're under sedation. A TEE gets
  closer to your heart, so you might need one if
  your provider at Corrielus Cardiology needs to
  see your heart in more detail.
