Experts Dedicated to Cardiovascular Disease Prevention

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. Our USC Preventive Cardiovascular Medicine Center team specializes in the detection, prevention and treatment of all risk factors for heart disease. We offer comprehensive evaluations to determine your risk for experiencing a heart attack or stroke and design a care plan tailored just for you.

To ensure your diagnosis and care plan, our doctors use a range of cardiovascular imaging tests, including:

• Ankle-brachial index testing
• Carotid artery scanning
• Coronary artery calcium scoring
• Renal artery ultrasound

Our preventive cardiologists are highly experienced in treating and managing cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as a family history of early heart disease. We also treat conditions related to cholesterol management, including statin intolerance, difficult to manage triglyceride levels and high cholesterol due to a genetic disorder.
