Northwell Health's Center for Heart Disease Prevention and Advanced Lipid Disorders provides patients with a unique multidisciplinary approach to cardiovascular disease prevention. This is done through the cardiovascular risk reduction program, which addresses many conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity (through weight management), obstructive sleep apnea and diabetes, as well as smoking cessation.

The preventive cardiology experts and lipid specialists work directly with your existing care team to provide a truly customized experience. This includes a comprehensive risk assessment, lifestyle optimization, genetic testing, access to research trials and studies and the latest treatments and therapies. Additionally, we partner with a nutritionist, a weight loss expert, cardiac rehabilitation and psychologists to provide a holistic approach to cardiovascular disease management.
