| | Most treatment of heart disease are directed primarily to control symptoms, such as controlling angina and symptoms of heart failure. We treat heart disease and all physician-modifiable risk factors while counseling patients on all patient-modifiable risk factors. We go even further by stopping disease progression and reducing need for future procedures and hospitalizations.  Non-modifiable risk factors:
Age Family history of premature heart disease and stroke
Patient-modifiable risk factors: Smoking Lack of exercise Obesity High saturated fat, high cholesterol diet
Physician-modifiable risk factor: High LDL particle number High LDL cholesterol Low HDL cholesterol High triglycerides High non-HDL cholesterol High hs-CRP High blood pressure High homocysteine Low 25 hydroxyvitamin D Diabetes
NJ Preventive Cardiology and Cholesterol Clinic provides the full spectrum of cardiac care from aggressive prevention to early diagnosis to optimal treatment.
