We provide preventive cardiology care to adults who live or work in Koreatown, Manhattan. Our focus is reducing the chance of heart attack, stroke and sudden cardiac death with individualized risk assessment, lifestyle counseling and medical management.
As a specialty practice led by Dr. Bradley Radwaner, we combine advanced testing and ongoing follow up to manage cholesterol, high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation risk. This page explains how we serve Koreatown, which local conditions affect heart health, and what to expect from our preventive cardiology approach.

Local conditions in Koreatown that affect heart health
Koreatown is a dense, walkable neighborhood with many restaurants and late night activity. That local lifestyle can affect blood pressure, cholesterol and weight in different ways. We take the neighborhood context into account when we assess diet patterns, sleep schedules and stress.
Watch out: Frequent dining out and high sodium menu choices are common factors we review with patients from Koreatown, because they can make blood pressure harder to control.
Another local factor is commute and work patterns. Many patients report long work hours and irregular schedules, which can make consistent medication use and follow up more difficult. Our plans are designed to be practical for busy schedules while still following evidence based care.
What a preventive cardiology visit looks like
We follow a structured evaluation that covers risk factors, testing options and a tailored plan. The goal is to explain choices, clarify trade offs and set measurable steps for improvement.
- Risk assessment. We review your family history, blood pressure readings, cholesterol numbers and lifestyle to estimate cardiovascular risk.
- Targeted testing. When indicated, we order advanced tests such as coronary CT angiogram or cardiac biomarkers to refine risk. See our page on Advanced Cardiac Testing for details.
- Individualized plan. We create a plan that may combine lifestyle changes, medication when needed, and regular monitoring tailored to your situation.
- Coordination and follow up. We coordinate with your primary care physician and schedule monitoring to track progress over time.
We explain each option, including benefits and potential side effects, so you can make informed decisions. For questions about blood pressure care see our resource on High Blood Pressure Risks.
Common needs we address in Koreatown
Patients from this neighborhood most often come to us for long term risk reduction rather than urgent care. Typical needs include:
- High LDL cholesterol or mixed lipid problems needing specialist guidance
- Persistent hypertension that is hard to control with standard care
- Evaluation after a concerning symptom such as palpitations or near fainting
- Atrial fibrillation assessment and stroke prevention planning
- Workplace screenings for busy professionals and corporate wellness coordination
When advanced testing is appropriate we interpret results in plain language and place them in the context of your individualized plan.
What distinguishes our preventive cardiology approach
Our practice emphasizes prevention, continuity and patient education. Dr. Bradley Radwaner brings more than 30 years of clinical experience to individualized care plans. We prioritize measurable goals such as blood pressure targets and LDL thresholds, and we explain how each recommendation reduces risk.
Our process combines lifestyle interventions, such as diet and activity guidance, with evidence based medication strategies when needed. For patients focused on cholesterol, see our Cholesterol Management page. For blood pressure guidance, our High Blood Pressure Risks resource explains why targets and monitoring matter.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer care specifically for people who do not yet have heart disease?
Yes. Preventive cardiology focuses on adults who have risk factors but no established coronary artery disease. We assess risk, recommend testing when appropriate and build plans to reduce future events. See our Preventive Cardiology service page for more on the evaluations we use.
Will you coordinate with my primary care physician?
Yes. We coordinate with referring and primary care physicians so that treatment plans are consistent across providers. That collaboration helps with medication management and follow up testing.
What testing might you recommend during the first visit?
Testing is individualized. Options range from blood tests for lipids and biomarkers to noninvasive imaging such as a coronary CT angiogram when clinically indicated. We explain why a test is recommended and how the result would change management.
How do you approach atrial fibrillation and stroke prevention?
We assess stroke risk using validated tools, discuss anticoagulation decisions, and review lifestyle and medical strategies to reduce risk. For more detail see our Atrial Fibrillation Treatment and Stroke Prevention pages.
