Before Your Visit: Comprehensive Testing
Your experience starts with a preliminary visit for a lab draw and an in-office EKG. By completing these prior to your 60-minute consultation, we ensure all your diagnostic results are ready for a full, detailed review with our team.
During Your Visit: 60-Minute Deep Dive Consultation
In this dedicated hour, we focus on your cardiovascular profile through a thorough review of your labs and history. This visit also includes a specialist nutritionist consult to develop your heart-healthy eating plan, ensuring a supportive partnership for your long-term wellness.
After Your Visit: Clear Next Steps
You will leave with a clear, actionable plan. Whether we decide on medical management, specialized lifestyle adjustments, or further imaging, you will have a written roadmap for your next steps in care.
Advanced cardiovascular lab testing
- ApoB (Apolipoprotein B): The primary driver of arterial plaque formation, providing a far more accurate risk assessment than traditional LDL-C alone.
- Lipoprotein(a): A critical genetic marker that increases risk for early heart disease and is inherited; not captured on standard cholesterol panels.
- Lp-PLA2 (PLAC test): A specific marker that measures inflammation within the blood vessels, indicating the potential stability of existing plaque.
Note for Patients: This specialized Heart Health Visit is a comprehensive, self-pay appointment. This allows us to dedicate the necessary time and advanced resources to your care without the constraints of traditional insurance models.
