Taking care of your heart is crucial to your overall health and wellness. But it shouldn’t start when you have chest pain, a heart attack, or a stroke – preventive cardiology should be on your radar long before you have symptoms.
Let’s take it one step further and add concierge medicine to preventive cardiology, and you have the ticket to a healthy life. Dr. Jeff Toll offers concierge medicine, primary care, health and wellness coaching, and chronic care management to keep your heart healthy.
Preventive cardiology is a branch of medicine that focuses on detecting and treating heart conditions before they develop or worsen. Heart health becomes extremely important as you age, especially if you’re at risk for heart disease.
The goal of preventive cardiology is to proactively manage individual risk factors like high blood pressure or high cholesterol to avoid issues like a heart attack or stroke. It examines every aspect of your life to identify risk factors for heart issues before they arise.
Dr. Toll uses concierge medicine and preventive cardiology to monitor your heart and overall health and help prevent serious health issues.
Our membership program includes concierge medicine, which is the elite form of health care. You have better access to our team and unlimited resources to help you stay on top of heart health.
But how does concierge medicine help us detect heart issues before symptoms appear? We use the following tools to provide preventive care pertaining to cardiology:
We perform a risk assessment, including discussion of family history and personal risk factors such as obesity, blood pressure, and stress. Cholesterol subtypes, a history of diabetes, and lifestyle factors also play a role in heart disease risk.
Knowing these risk factors allows Dr. Toll to take the proper steps to get your health and heart on track.
Medical management is how we control certain risk factors to reduce the risk of heart disease. We sometimes prescribe medications to control issues like diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
Procedural interventions and lifestyle advice are something else we may recommend. If you need a cardiac specialist, we offer collaborative care.
Collaborative care is an essential aspect of concierge medicine and preventive cardiology. Many factors contribute to heart disease risk, which is why you may need several doctors or specialists.
We collaborate with other physicians and surgeons, as needed, to help you achieve optimal health and undergo specialized diagnostic testing.
Your lifestyle plays a huge role in cardiac health. We offer personalized lifestyle tips that improve heart health and help prevent dangerous medical issues.
Quitting smoking, engaging in regular exercise, and following a heart-healthy diet are critical for preventing cardiac issues. We help you achieve these goals through regular check-ins and personalized coaching.
Dr. Toll is readily available for his concierge patients, offering telehealth and same-day appointments for worrisome symptoms or just a check-in. He delves deeply into your physical health and family history to address underlying issues and prevent heart disease.
