  • Can a heart attack be prevented?

    Yes, a heart attack can be prevented and I think that the best way to treat patients is to try to make sure they never have a heart attack in the first place. A good place to start is by trying to live a healthy lifestyle. This means eating foods low in animal fats and salt. It means getting regular exercise for at least 30 minutes a few times a week. And not smoking. Treat other conditions such as diabetes or high cholesterol if you have them. And try to maintain a healthy weight. It is also very important to have your cholesterol checked and treated if the cholesterol is not normal. That often means using a statin drug. Patients who have plaque in their heart arteries already or meet certain risk factor profiles, can benefit from being on a low-dose aspirin daily. For patients who have symptoms consistent with a blockage in the arteries, a stress test may be in order. For patients who have risk factors but no symptoms, a CAT scan calcium score of the heart arteries can be very helpful to decide how aggressive to be about medication and risk factors. And most heart procedures today such as heart catheterization or stents are minimally invasive. But the important thing is to get started on the process! See your primary doctor or cardiologist. I am always happy to help patients with risk assessment and treatment. READ MORE
