We provide preventive cardiology care that reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and sudden cardiac death by combining detailed risk assessment, evidence based testing and personalized treatment plans led by Dr. Bradley Radwaner.
Service overview
At The NY Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease we focus on preventing cardiovascular events before they occur. As a cardiologist and preventive cardiology practice in New York, we evaluate adults who are worried about heart disease because of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, family history, atrial fibrillation or other risk factors. Our approach brings together lifestyle intervention, targeted testing and medical management to lower risk and preserve long term heart health.
Care is delivered by Dr. Bradley Radwaner and our team, using advanced testing such as coronary CT angiogram and cardiac biomarkers where indicated, and close coordination with your primary care team. Learn about our Manhattan location and services on our location page at our New York location.
Benefits of preventive cardiology
- Personalized risk assessment to understand your specific chance of heart attack or stroke.
- Early detection with advanced testing like coronary CT angiogram and targeted cardiac biomarkers.
- Tailored lifestyle plans that address diet, exercise and weight management for sustained heart health.
- Focused medical optimization for cholesterol and blood pressure to lower long term risk.
- Care coordination with primary care physicians and specialists to simplify management.
Our process
- Initial evaluation. We review medical history, medications, family history and symptoms, and perform a focused cardiovascular exam.
- Risk assessment. We calculate overall cardiovascular risk using validated tools and interpret prior tests such as lipid panels and EKGs.
- Advanced testing when needed. We order imaging and biomarkers selectively, including coronary CT angiogram and other advanced cardiac testing, to refine risk estimates.
- Individualized plan. We combine lifestyle recommendations with medication strategies, for example targeted cholesterol management or hypertension management, to match your risk profile.
- Shared decision making. We discuss options for prevention, including benefits and tradeoffs of medications such as statins and anticoagulation when atrial fibrillation is present.
- Ongoing monitoring. We track outcomes, adjust treatment over time, and coordinate care with your primary care physician and other specialists.
For patients focused on cholesterol or blood pressure, our services link directly to related care including cholesterol management and hypertension management.
Watch out: New or worsening symptoms such as chest discomfort, unexplained fainting, sudden breathlessness or sudden neurological changes increase short term risk and merit prompt clinical evaluation by a physician.
Is preventive cardiology right for you
Who benefits
- Adults over 45 or adults with family history of premature heart disease.
- People with diabetes or high blood pressure.
- Those with elevated cholesterol or unclear risk despite treatment.
- Patients with atrial fibrillation thinking about stroke prevention options.
- Busy professionals seeking an evidence based plan to lower cardiovascular risk.
What good work looks like
Good preventive cardiology clarifies where your risk lies, uses appropriate tests to refine that picture, and produces a realistic plan you can follow. That plan balances lifestyle changes and medical therapy, measures progress, and adapts as your health changes. We emphasize measurable goals, such as lowered LDL cholesterol or controlled blood pressure, and we document improvements over time with repeat testing when indicated.
Part of good care is clear communication. We make sure you understand why each test or medication is recommended, the expected benefits, and common side effects or tradeoffs. When advanced imaging is used, results are explained in plain language and integrated into the care plan.

Frequently asked questions
What happens at my first visit with a cardiology doctor at your center?
At the first visit we review your medical and family history, current medications, prior testing and any symptoms. We perform a focused cardiovascular exam and may order baseline tests such as lipid panels, EKGs or targeted imaging. The goal is to produce an initial risk estimate and a plan for next steps, which may include lifestyle measures, medication adjustments or advanced testing.
Who should consider advanced testing like coronary CT angiogram?
Advanced tests are used selectively when standard risk assessment leaves uncertainty, or when symptoms or family history suggest higher risk. A coronary CT angiogram can clarify coronary plaque burden and help guide preventive strategies. We decide on testing based on your individual risk, potential benefits and any contraindications.
How do you approach cholesterol management?
Cholesterol management is individualized. We set treatment goals based on overall cardiovascular risk and use lifestyle measures plus medication when appropriate. We discuss the expected benefits and side effects of medications, and we monitor response with follow up lipid testing and clinical review.
Can you coordinate care with my primary care physician?
Yes. We work collaboratively with primary care physicians and other specialists. That coordination helps ensure medication changes, referrals and follow up are consistent across your care team.
Is preventive cardiology only for people with symptoms?
No. Preventive cardiology is appropriate for people with risk factors but no symptoms, as well as for people who have symptoms. The aim is to reduce future risk through early detection and tailored prevention.
