Advanced lipid panel
Beyond standard cholesterol: ApoB, Lp(a), small-dense LDL — the markers that actually predict events.

Preventive cardiology
Add years to your life — and life to your years.
The best heart attack is the one that never happens. Our preventive program combines advanced lipid panels, genetic risk scoring and one-to-one coaching — so you leave with a clear, realistic plan, not a stack of brochures.

What we offer
Procedures and assessments
A focused, high-volume set of procedures — performed often and performed well, by the same senior team every time.
Coronary calcium score (CAC)
A 5-minute low-dose CT that quantifies plaque years before symptoms appear.
Cardiometabolic profiling
Insulin resistance, inflammation (hs-CRP) and hormonal markers, interpreted together.
Lifestyle coaching
Nutrition, sleep, stress and movement — built around your real schedule, not a generic plan.
Medication optimization
Statins, PCSK9, GLP-1 and antihypertensives — chosen for benefit, monitored for tolerance.
Technology
The tools we use, by name
The equipment behind this specific service — chosen because precise tools support precise decisions.
- Siemens SOMATOM low-dose calcium-score CT
Sub-mSv coronary calcium scoring — a 30-second scan with decades of predictive power.
- Boston Heart advanced lipid lab
ApoB, Lp(a), LDL particle number and inflammation panels beyond standard cholesterol.
- InBody 770 body composition
Segmental muscle, fat and visceral-fat tracking at every quarterly review.
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)
Two-week wearable to expose hidden insulin resistance and reactive hypoglycaemia.
Your journey
From first call to follow-through
1
60-minute intake
Full history, body composition, labs and a calculated 10- and 30-year risk profile.
2
Personal plan
A one-page summary you can actually follow, shared with your primary doctor.
3
Quarterly check-ins
Short follow-ups by phone or in person — so the plan evolves with your life.
How to prepare
- Fast for 10–12 hours before your intake visit — water and black coffee are fine.
- Bring at least 3 prior lipid panels and any home BP readings.
- List every supplement and herbal product, including doses.
- Wear something you can do a 6-minute walk in.
- Sleep a normal night before — short sleep distorts lipid and glucose readings.
Recovery & aftercare
- One-page plan
Concrete targets for LDL, BP, sleep and movement — not a 30-page booklet you'll never reread.
- Shared with your GP
We send a clinician-grade letter so your primary doctor is fully looped in.
- Coach on call
Text your lifestyle coach between visits with quick questions, ingredient swaps and travel plans.
"I expected to be scolded and put on pills. Instead I got a one-page plan I actually followed — my LDL halved in six months."

FAQs
Questions patients ask us
If yours isn't here, ask our team — we love a good question.
I'm young and healthy — is this for me?+
Yes. Prevention is most powerful in the 30s and 40s, well before symptoms appear.
Do I have to take a statin?+
Not necessarily. Many patients reach target with lifestyle alone; medication is a tool, not a default.
Can you work with my nutritionist?+
Absolutely. We coordinate with your existing care team whenever possible.
