Heart Health

Last week, a patient said that a cardiologist he recently saw said to him that all the testing I advised was not necessary and just come to him when he started having symptoms!!!

Wait a minute!!!! Sometimes with a heart attack, you just die and have no symptoms.

That is not taking good care of my family of patients. I would like to do what is necessary to identify heart disease and treat it before a heart attack.

There are several ways to identify risks for heart disease including blood work and various scans.

Lifestyle changes with diet and exercise along with supplements and medications when necessary can PREVENT worsening disease and that heart attack. There are even ways to improve heart health.

If you ever hear anything like that, we need to discuss all the ways to help you live a long and healthy life!

If you have a friend or family member who wishes to be proactive and prevent disease, please have them call.

Take care and thank you,

Dr. Steslow
