Prevention Matters to Our Patients.
A 41 year old non-smoker, in healthy weight and with family history of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), came to Ocean Heart Group because he was suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. He had been feeling unusually “tired” for several weeks and had been experiencing “irregular” heart beats prior to his appointment. After the completion of a comprehensive examination, and all necessary in-office testing, our patient’s personalized Preventative Care Plan involved the management of his heart rhythms and continued monitoring and implementation of prevention medicine for his risk factors for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).A 62-year old with a family history of stroke expressed her serious concerns about her risk for having a stroke. She is a healthy weight non-smoker with a history of high blood pressure and borderline high cholesterol. Upon completion of an in-office Carotid Sonogram (measures the amount of plaque within the artery walls), we diagnosed findings of “mild plaque” located on the walls of her Carotid Artery. Her individualized Preventative Care plan included a a low cholesterol diet and medical therapy in an effort to eliminate her risk of stroke.
