Preventative Cardiology

Cardiovascular disease remains the No. 1 cause of death worldwide—yet according to the American Heart Association, up to 80% of heart disease and stroke cases are preventable. At the Cardiovascular Institute of San Diego, our Preventative Cardiology Program is designed to help you take control of your heart health before problems arise.

We begin with a comprehensive cardiac risk assessment, which may include lab tests, advanced imaging such as a CT Heart Scan, and a full review of your personal and family history. By understanding your unique lifestyle and risk factors, we create a personalized prevention plan tailored specifically to you.

This may involve:

  • A consultation with Dr. Milind Parikh, a leading expert in CT-based preventative cardiology

  • A detailed review of your CT scan results using advanced 3D workstation imaging

  • Recommendations for lifestyle modifications, such as diet, exercise, and stress management

  • Discussion of pharmaceutical options if necessary

  • Vital signs check, EKG, and expert interpretation

Our goal is simple: to help you stay ahead of heart disease—because prevention is always better than treatment.
