Preventive Cardiology
Who we are and what we do:
The Cardiovascular Prevention Program is both an inpatient and outpatient program. The Madsen Preventive Cardiology Program is a comprehensive family-focused approach to the detection, treatment, and prevention of heart disease. Our Program differs from other cardiovascular programs in its emphasis on a comprehensive, case managed long-term risk reduction program for the patient and family members found to be at risk for the development of heart disease.
Our program includes:
- weight management
- stress management
- lipid management
- smoking sesation
- nutrition counseling
- nutrition classes
Preventive Cardiology targets the risk factors that cause:
- Myocardial Infarction (heart attack)
- Angina (heart pain)
- Atherosclerosis (cholesterol build up in the heart arteries or other arteries)
- Stroke
- Vascular Disease
Who need preventive cardiology care?
Anyone who has experienced any of these events should have cardiovascular prevention to prevent further heart injury or damage.
- heart attack
- angina
- angioplasty(stent)
- stroke
