About Preventive Cardiology

Preventive Cardiology is a proactive medical specialty focused on identifying and reducing the risk of heart disease before it develops or worsens. A cardiologist specializing in this field provides a comprehensive, personalized approach that goes beyond traditional care. This involves detailed risk assessment through advanced screenings, lifestyle modification counseling, and, when necessary, early medical intervention. The goal is to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events by managing risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity. It empowers patients with knowledge and strategies for long-term heart health, combining cutting-edge diagnostics with personalized lifestyle plans to ensure a healthier future.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been feeling off for months,...

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
