Over one million American will find out this year that they have heart disease. For over half of those, the first symptom will be a heart attack. Unfortunately, many heart attacks are fatal.
The Heart Attack Prevention Program at CCFM aims to prevent heart disease before it happens. Our physicians have special interest and expertise to prevent you or a loved one from becoming an unfortunate statistic.
For many years, the major risk factors for heart disease have been well known. Family history, smoking, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle and obesity are all recognized as major risk factors for populations. However, risk factors do not tell the whole story. It is also difficult to tell how these population derived risks apply to an individual person.
Using both conventional risk factor analysis and advanced imaging and emerging risk factor discernment, the physicians at CCFM can give you a more accurate and individualized assessment of your risk for heart disease and stroke. More importantly, they can work with you to reduce your individual risk. Through ongoing assessment and intervention, your CCFM physician will help you lower your risk and live a longer, healthier life.
