Cardiology - Heart Institute at The Sanctuary

Preventive cardiology focuses on reducing risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, and obesity to prevent the onset of heart disease. Innovations in the field, such as minimally invasive surgeries and advanced imaging techniques, have significantly improved patient outcomes and recovery times. Ongoing research aims to further understand the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying heart diseases, develop new therapeutic strategies, and enhance diagnostic methods. Lee Health Cardiologists collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide holistic care, emphasizing the importance of early detection and proactive management of heart conditions. This multidisciplinary approach helps improve the quality of life for patients and reduces the incidence and severity of cardiovascular events, ultimately saving lives.
