Health Matters
At the core of my philosophy is prevention. The diversity of diagnostic tests that we offer allows us to provide our patients with information that many times prevent the development of serious conditions, some of them life-threatening. With heart disease as the leading killer of both men and women in the U.S., I’m always seeking the best diagnostic tests available in order to predict the likelihood of heart disease as early as possible. In our office, we recommend a Cardiac CT for calcium scoring to my patients who have any indicator that increases their likelihood for heart disease. The most common indicators that we see include a family history of heart disease, high blood cholesterol levels, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking and being physically inactive. The Cardiac CT for calcium scoring is a convenient way to determine the presence of plaque in the heart, which then informs us if you are at increased risk to suffering a heart attack. When plaque is present, we are able to immediately modify your risk and decrease your future risk through making lifestyle recommendations. Our patients often marvel at how easy it is to take this test, as it administered like an X-ray during a routine examination. The radiation exposure is not more than receiving several chest X-rays, but the information is invaluable. This quick turnaround of information allows us to give immediate advice that provides patients with the peace of mind of knowing that they have a customized health and wellness plan when walking out of our office.
