Our Approach

Our goal is to help patients manage their symptoms. We also want to stop the progression of atherosclerosis, or the buildup of plaque, in patients’ arteries. That, in turn, reduces risk of heart attack and stroke. Lifestyle changes, including quitting smoking, are the single most important step. In the event that lifestyle changes are not enough, medicine to prevent blood clots, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and control pain might help manage the condition.
