Cardiovascular Disease Prevention & Lipid Clinic

Preventive Cardiology

Through the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Outpatient Cardiovascular Clinic, we focus on diagnosing and managing lipid disorders. The team identifies your risk factors and determines if you would benefit from non-invasive testing to check for coronary heart disease.

Our team of doctors, nurses and nutritionists develop personalized treatment strategies to help you in numerous ways:

• Lower your cholesterol
• Manage your blood pressure
• Reduce your risk of heart disease

Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Services

We work in these key areas:

• Assess your overall cardiovascular risk
• Lower your risk through a combination of lifestyle changes, including heart healthy diet and exercise
• Prescribe and monitor medications when appropriate

If you have severe hypertension (high blood pressure), our team evaluates and treats you. Then, we provide ongoing care through ambulatory (at-home) blood pressure monitoring devices. If you have coronary heart disease or aortic disease, our preventive cardiologists work to limit your risk of future cardiovascular events.
