Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, driven by prevalence of heart attacks and strokes. Atherosclerosis is a decades long process, usually related to known cardiovascular risk factors. At our clinic we do a thorough risk analysis of our patients. This consists of three major areas: risk assessment, risk management and risk communication. From looking at your risk based on your age, gender, race, and family history to analyzing your lifestyle behaviors, emotional and physical health, current and previous health conditions and more. We complete a detailed risk assessment in order to have a full understanding of your baseline health and personal risk.
