Preventive Care to Keep Your Heart Healthy.
Heart disease continues to be the most common form of disease and the No. 1 cause of death for both men and women — accounting for one out of every four deaths. Just because heart disease is prevalent doesn’t mean it can’t be prevented. The Center for Cardiovascular Prevention, Metabolism and Lipids at Georgia Heart Institute specializes in providing key resources and services to keep your heart at its healthiest.
We focus on physical activity, culinary medicine and advanced screenings to help patients with:
- Managing heart disease risk factors, including lipids.
- Identifying diseases in their earliest, most treatable stages.
- Continuously improving quality of life after a cardiac event or disease diagnosis.
Early Prevention
Whether it’s a family history of heart disease or high blood pressure, many people have concerns about their risk for heart disease, but may not know how to start. Our program provides early screening for those who have no signs yet of heart disease, but want to keep an eye on their health and risks.
Lipid Therapy
Our lipid clinic offers therapies for patients who simply cannot lower their cholesterol through the standard options: statins and lifestyle changes. We also offer advanced lipid testing such as Apoliprotein B (ApoB), Lipoprotein A (LpA), cholesterol particle count, and cholesterol absorption markers.
Cardiometabolic Therapy
Our cardiometabolic therapy program offers new classes of treatment that can make a significant impact in reducing the risks related to heart disease for Type 2 diabetics. We offer a unique combination of injection or IV-therapies of certain drugs, including ACE inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists.
