Consultative Cardiology is a program that provides an opportunity for your doctor to diagnose and evaluate your cardiovascular system. This evaluation will help your doctor formulate short and long-term therapeutic strategies that will help you live a healthier lifestyle and eventually improve your cardiovascular illnesses.

Who should see a Consultative Cardiologist

This consultative approach is designed for people who have a history of heart disease, those individuals that are at risk for heart disease, or simply for patients that would like to know their risk for future cardiovascular illnesses.

What will the program include

• The physician will create a program to aggressively control risk factors associated with cholesterol and blood pressure
• There will be intensive education to promote a heart-healthy lifestyle
• Patients will receive an individualized nutrition assessment, education, and support services
• The physician will provide smoking cessation referrals
• Patients receive specialized cholesterol and lipoprotein measurements
• Patients receive state-of-the-art catheter and surgical interventions
• Patients with complex cardiovascular diseases will have access to experimental programs with emerging technologies

Are there other programs or consultations

Yes. Some patient may qualify for pre and peri-operative evaluations, second opinion consultation, risk-stratification of pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, integration of multiple or complex therapeutic regimens, and evaluation for possible surgical or catheter-based interventions, and long-term cardiovascular follow-up care are provided by the Consultative Cardiologist.
