Have questions about preventive cardiology, heart health checkups and cardiovascular risk? Here are clear answers to common questions about preventing heart disease and maintaining long-term heart health.
Preventive cardiology focuses on identifying and managing factors that may increase your risk of heart disease. It includes cardiovascular risk assessment, early detection, lifestyle guidance and appropriate medical management.
Preventive cardiology may be useful for people with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, excess weight or a family history of heart disease. A cardiologist can assess your individual risk.

Your cardiologist may review your medical and family history, lifestyle, existing health conditions and cardiovascular risk factors. Appropriate tests may then be recommended based on your individual needs.
Depending on your age, health history and risk factors, your doctor may recommend tests such as blood pressure measurement, blood tests, ECG, TMT or echocardiography.
