East Village note: Urban living changes how we manage risk. Close living quarters, pedestrian commuting, and a fast paced work life influence activity patterns, diet choices and stress. We tailor plans to city life, including realistic exercise options, medication timing for subway commutes, and monitoring strategies that fit an urban schedule.
How we assess and manage cardiovascular risk
- Initial risk assessment. We combine medical history, family history, blood work and blood pressure data to estimate your short and long term risk.
- Advanced testing when appropriate. For selected patients we use targeted tests and imaging to clarify risk. Read about advanced testing approaches on our advanced cardiac testing topic and about coronary CT angiography on the coronary CT angiogram page.
- Personalized plan. Plans combine lifestyle changes, nutrition guidance, exercise recommendations and medication when indicated.
- Coordination and follow up. We work with your primary care physician and other specialists to maintain continuity of care and adjust treatment as your risk changes.
