Stop Heart Disease Before It Starts
Most heart attacks happen in people who had no idea they were at risk. Standard cholesterol panels miss a significant portion of cardiovascular disease — they don't measure the particles that actually cause plaque. Dr. Sanam uses advanced risk profiling to find hidden danger early, combining biomarker testing, imaging, and guideline-directed therapy to reduce your lifetime risk of heart attack and stroke before symptoms ever appear.
