Your heart is your most vital organ and plays a pivotal role in your total health. It beats 2.5 billion times over the average human lifetime and functions every second of the day, pumping blood to every organ in your body.
That is why in our practice, Aventura Medical Center, we are focused on improving your heart health. Over the course of the past century, medical advances have improved the prognosis for cardiovascular disease. We can now identify both the medical risk factors (such as hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes) and the lifestyle factors (such as smoking, obesity, poor diet and lack of exercise), all of which contribute to heart disease. Through regular check-ups and scheduled testing, we can help you understand any underlying medical issues along with the treatment options available to reduce your risk of heart disease and improve your overall health.
