Helping You Stop Cardiovascular Disease in its Tracks

The Sands-Constellation Heart Institute Preventive Cardiology program offers a comprehensive approach to preventing cardiovascular disease in high-risk individuals, while also preventing further issues in people who already have cardiovascular disease.

Our cardiology team assesses each patient’s unique history and risk factors and then creates a personalized treatment plan to help patients achieve their goal of reducing the likelihood of the development of heart disease and its complications. Management plans may include nutrition counseling, weight management assistance, and a thorough cardiovascular risk assessment.
