Preventive cardiology focuses on reducing the risk of heart disease before it starts. By identifying risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and family history, we take a proactive approach to heart health. Through personalized lifestyle modifications, advanced screenings, and, when necessary, medical therapy, we help patients of all ages—especially those at higher risk—prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications. At Lone Star Cardiovascular Institute, our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to maintain a strong, healthy heart for life.
