We provide preventive cardiology to adults in Gracie Square, offering individualized risk assessment, lifestyle interventions and medical management to reduce heart attack, stroke and sudden cardiac death.
Our presence in Gracie Square
We are The NY Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, and we serve adults living and working in Gracie Square and nearby Manhattan neighborhoods. Our practice brings more than 30 years of clinical experience to people who want to lower cardiovascular risk rather than wait for disease to appear. In this neighborhood we see older adults, busy professionals and people with diabetes or high blood pressure who want targeted, evidence based prevention.
Patients in Gracie Square often choose our approach because we focus on early detection, coordinated care with primary care physicians, and ongoing monitoring that adapts as risk changes.
Common heart health needs for Gracie Square residents
People who live in Gracie Square typically seek prevention and long term heart health support for a few recurring concerns. Below are the needs we treat regularly in the neighborhood.
- Risk assessment and long term preventive cardiology planning
- Cholesterol evaluation and tailored cholesterol management
- Hypertension diagnosis, monitoring and medication management
- Atrial fibrillation evaluation and stroke prevention strategies
- Care coordination for people with diabetes or family history of heart disease
How we tailor care for this neighborhood
Living in Manhattan often means a faster pace, complex schedules and multiple health care touch points. We design care plans that recognize those realities while focusing on measurable risk reduction. Our model combines advanced testing, lifestyle counseling and guideline based medical management.
We use thorough risk assessment to decide which tests and treatments are appropriate, whether that is focused lipid management, blood pressure strategies, ambulatory rhythm monitoring for palpitations, or discussions about anticoagulation when atrial fibrillation is present.

What a local patient can expect
We do not replace your primary care relationship. Instead, we work closely with your primary doctor and other specialists to create a clear, individualized plan. Below is how our care typically progresses for a new patient from Gracie Square.
- Initial evaluation. We review your medical history, medications and prior testing to understand risk factors and identify gaps in care.
- Risk assessment and testing. We select appropriate tests based on your profile. Tests may include advanced lipid panels, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, ambulatory rhythm monitors, or cardiac imaging when indicated.
- Personalized plan. We combine lifestyle recommendations with targeted medical therapy when needed, and set measurable goals for risk reduction.
- Follow up and coordination. We monitor progress, adjust treatment, and communicate with primary care and other specialists to maintain continuity.
What to bring to your first visit
- List of current medications and supplements
- Recent lab or imaging reports if available
- Notes on symptoms such as palpitations, chest discomfort, or episodes of fainting
- Family history of early heart disease
Watch out: Many adults in Manhattan have multiple cardiovascular risk factors at once. When high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes are present together, individualized testing and early intervention matter more for preventing stroke and heart attack than waiting for symptoms.
Local factors that affect heart health in Gracie Square
Neighborhood and lifestyle factors influence risk. Commuting patterns, work hours and access to primary care all shape how people interact with prevention programs. We adapt care to each patient so recommendations fit their daily life in Gracie Square.
We also coordinate with nearby providers and refer to advanced testing when indicated. If rhythm symptoms suggest atrial fibrillation, our approach focuses on confirming the diagnosis and discussing stroke prevention options that match a patient’s risk profile, as outlined on our Atrial Fibrillation Treatment and Stroke Prevention pages.
How our services fit with other care
As a preventive cardiology practice led by Dr. Bradley Radwaner, we emphasize collaboration. We work with primary care physicians, endocrinologists and other specialists to align treatment goals, whether the focus is statin therapy for cholesterol control, optimizing blood pressure medications, or choosing monitoring strategies for intermittent palpitations.
If you are choosing a specialist, our Choosing A Cardiologist guide explains factors that patients in this area often consider, including experience with preventive programs and coordination with local health systems.
Key takeaway
For adults in Gracie Square, focused preventive cardiology means individualized risk assessment, targeted testing and ongoing care that fits city life. We center prevention to reduce the chance of heart attack, stroke and sudden cardiac death while coordinating with your other doctors.
Frequently asked questions
Do you treat high cholesterol and recommend medications like statins?
Yes. We evaluate lipid profiles and discuss the benefits and risks of statin therapy and other options. Our cholesterol management strategy balances lifestyle approaches with medications when evidence shows a net benefit.
What kinds of tests do you use to assess heart risk?
Testing is tailored to the individual and may include advanced lipid testing, ambulatory blood pressure or rhythm monitoring, and targeted cardiac imaging when needed. We select tests to answer specific clinical questions rather than ordering broad panels without purpose.
How do you work with my primary care physician?
We coordinate care and share treatment plans and results. That collaboration helps ensure medication changes, monitoring and follow up are integrated into your overall health care.
Is prevention different for people with diabetes or a strong family history?
Yes. Diabetes and family history raise baseline risk and often change thresholds for testing and therapy. Our plans for those patients are more intensive because the potential benefit from prevention is greater.
