Cardiovascular Health at Atlanta Integrative and Internal Medicine
Welcome to Atlanta Integrative and Internal Medicine!
Our highly trained team is committed to providing comprehensive, preventive, and integrative care to support your heart health.
What is Cardiovascular Disease?
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, including:
- Heart failure
- Coronary artery disease
- Peripheral arterial disease
- Stroke
These conditions can be serious, but they are also often preventable through early detection, lifestyle changes, and targeted treatment.
Our cardiovascular evaluation includes the following:
We believe prevention is the best medicine, so our cardiovascular assessments are designed to identify risk factors early and create a personalized plan for your heart health.
Cholesterol testing
Cholesterol is a fatty substance in the blood that, when elevated, can build up in artery walls and lead to atherosclerosis(hardening of the arteries). This increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
• We measure HDL (“good”) cholesterol, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, and triglycerides.
• Based on your results, we may recommend dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, or medications to help you reach healthy levels.
CRP testing
CRP is a marker of inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation can damage arteries and contribute to CVD.
• A simple blood test measures CRP levels.
• If elevated, we work to find the underlying cause and create a plan to reduce inflammation naturally and effectively.
Electrocardiogram EKG
An EKG is a painless, noninvasive test that measures the electrical activity of your heart. It can detect:
• Irregular heart rhythms
• Previous heart damage
• Signs of strain or other cardiac issues
We recommend EKGs for all patients with family history of heart disease or other risk factors.
Blood pressure monitoring
High blood pressure is one of the most important—and preventable—risk factors for heart disease.
• We check your blood pressure at every visit.
• If elevated, we offer lifestyle strategies and, if needed, medication to keep it under control.
Our Holistic Approach
We look beyond numbers and test results, considering the whole picture of your health. Your personalized cardiovascular wellness plan may include:
- Nutrition counseling for heart-healthy eating
- Exercise recommendations tailored to your fitness level
- Stress management techniques such as meditation or breathing exercises
