Cardiometabolic Health & Preventive Cardiology
Novel Therapies to Lower Cardiovascular Risk Through Personalized Approaches
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce your risk and also prevent the development of cardiovascular disease.
Cardiometabolic risk refers to the likelihood of experiencing a cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack or stroke, due to one or more cardiovascular risk factors. It also applies to individuals who established cardiovascular disease who continue to remain at risk.
The staff at the Center for Cardiometabolic Health & Preventive Cardiology at the New England Heart & Vascular Institute offer novel therapies to lower cardiovascular risk by determining the best approach for each individual.
