Preventive Cardiology Center

Heart disease, or more specifically, coronary artery disease, is the most common cause of death in the United States. In fact, heart attacks take the life of an American every minute.

Knowing your risk of this dangerous condition is the first step in prevention. With a few simple tests (a fasting cholesterol test and a calcium scoring test), the Preventive Cardiology Center at Iowa Heart can give you and your physician the knowledge you need to assess your risk or heart attacks and coronary artery disease and, if necessary, begin changing your lifestyle for the better.

The Preventive Cardiology Center at Iowa Heart is dedicated to helping improve the overall cardiac health of patients so they can enjoy an improved quality of life. Providing state-of-the-art risk assessment for coronary artery disease is one more way we’re addressing all aspects of cardiac care.
