Preventive Cardiology

Preventive cardiology aims to stop heart disease before it starts. Because Indians often develop heart disease earlier and at lower body weights, risk assessment from the late twenties or thirties is sensible for people with diabetes, hypertension, smoking or a family history.

The specialist estimates your overall risk using blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar and lifestyle, and creates a plan covering diet, activity, quitting tobacco and, where needed, medicines such as statins. Regular follow-up keeps targets on track.
