We assess your personal risk for heart attack, stroke and sudden cardiac death and build an individualized prevention plan that combines advanced testing, lifestyle strategies and medical management. Led by Dr. Bradley Radwaner, we focus on early detection and long term heart health for adults across the New York metropolitan area.
What our cardiology service includes
Our preventive cardiology service evaluates your current cardiovascular risk and treats or reduces that risk through targeted testing, tailored therapeutics and coordinated follow up. We see people with family history of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, atrial fibrillation concerns, and busy professionals who want a clear plan for long term heart health.
Treatment plans are individualized. Typical components include a comprehensive risk assessment, electrocardiogram interpretation, laboratory testing including lipid panels and cardiac biomarkers, advanced cardiac imaging when appropriate, lifestyle and dietary counseling, and focused management of blood pressure and cholesterol.
To learn more about our preventive focus and core offerings, see our Preventive Cardiology service page and our Cholesterol Management page for specifics on lipid care.
Benefits of preventive cardiology
- Early identification of silent disease through targeted testing and imaging
- Individualized plans that combine lifestyle change with evidence based medical therapy
- Reduced likelihood of heart attack, stroke and sudden cardiac death through ongoing monitoring
- Coordination with primary care physicians and other specialists for integrated care
- Clear, measurable goals so you can track progress over time
Our process, step by step
- Initial risk review. We begin with a detailed history, family history, medication review and baseline vitals to identify major risk drivers.
- Baseline testing. Common tests include an electrocardiogram, fasting lipid panel, glucose or hemoglobin A1c, and cardiac biomarkers when indicated.
- Advanced evaluation if needed. When the initial assessment suggests hidden risk, we use tests such as coronary CT angiogram or targeted cardiac imaging to clarify findings.
- Personalized plan. We develop a plan that may include lifestyle interventions, dietary guidance, exercise recommendations, and evidence based medication options for cholesterol and blood pressure control.
- Monitoring and adjustment. We set monitoring intervals, reassess risk markers, and adjust therapy with the goal of sustained risk reduction.
- Coordination of care. We communicate with your primary care physician, endocrinologist or other specialists so treatment is integrated across conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.
Pro tip: Bring any recent blood tests, medication lists and family history details to your first visit. That information speeds risk assessment and helps target testing.
Watch out: A normal resting electrocardiogram or a single normal cholesterol result does not always mean low lifetime risk. We look at overall risk patterns, not just isolated numbers.
What good preventive cardiology looks like
Good work combines precise testing, clear communication and measurable outcomes. Examples of high quality care include identifying elevated coronary plaque on CT angiography before symptoms appear, safely lowering a patient s LDL cholesterol to guideline informed targets, or adjusting hypertension therapy so blood pressure trends downward without side effects.
We emphasize patient education so you understand the reasons behind each test and prescription. That makes it easier to follow through and to share information with other members of your health care team.
Who benefits from our cardiology care
Adults who typically benefit include middle aged men, women over 45, people with diabetes, patients with hypertension, those with a family history of premature heart disease, and primary care physicians seeking specialist input for their patients. We also work with corporate wellness programs and busy professionals who want focused, efficient heart health care.

Frequently asked questions
What is preventive cardiology and how is it different from standard cardiology?
Preventive cardiology focuses on identifying and reducing risk before a heart attack or stroke occurs. Standard cardiology also treats acute and established heart disease. Our preventive approach emphasizes risk assessment, lifestyle interventions, targeted testing and long term risk reduction strategies.
Who should see a preventive cardiologist?
Adults with a strong family history of heart disease, those with high cholesterol or high blood pressure, people with diabetes, and anyone who wants a thorough assessment of cardiovascular risk can benefit from our service. Primary care physicians often refer patients when they want specialist guidance on complex risk decisions.
What tests might I need?
Common tests include an electrocardiogram, fasting lipid panel, glucose or hemoglobin A1c, and cardiac biomarkers when needed. Advanced options include coronary CT angiogram and targeted cardiac imaging. We recommend tests based on your individual risk profile, not for every patient.
Do you manage cholesterol and blood pressure?
Yes. We offer evidence based cholesterol management and hypertension management as part of preventive care. That includes lifestyle counseling and guideline informed medication when appropriate.
How do you work with my primary care physician?
We coordinate care by sharing test results, treatment plans and follow up recommendations so that management is integrated across providers. This collaboration helps maintain continuity and avoids fragmented care.
Will I get a long term plan or one time advice?
We build long term plans with monitoring intervals and measurable goals. Preventive cardiology is most effective when risk markers are followed and therapy is adjusted over time.
