What is preventive cardiology?

Preventive cardiology, a subspecialty of cardiology, focuses on both helping you avoid heart conditions and detecting them early if they should develop. This is when cardiovascular conditions are often most treatable or even reversible without needing major medical care.

Some common risk factors for cardiovascular diseases that you can address through preventive cardiology are:

  • Smoking
  • An unhealthy diet
  • Drinking alcohol
  • Obesity
  • A sedentary lifestyle

There are also uncontrollable factors like your genetics and age.
