The Role of Preventive Cardiology in Long-Term Adult Health

Your heart pumps around 100, 000 times a day, but most people only start caring about it when there’s a problem. We at Yashoda Medicity believe that the best approach to heart health is prevention. The team, headed by Dr. Rachit Saxena, a Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgeon at Yashoda Medicity Ghaziabad, provides Advanced Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery Care, which is the perfect combination of the surgical expertise that saves lives and strong preventive measures.

After more than 16 years of experience in surgery, the team has also adopted the latest diagnostic techniques so that thorough person-centred therapy plans can be formulated, bringing patient’s safety and health to their hearts for years to come. 

What is Preventive Cardiology and Why does it matter?

Preventive cardiology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the primordial, primary, and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). For a long time, there has been a drop in mortality related to heart diseases due to the advancement of science, however, these trends have recently been stalling. The worsening of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome has generated a new tide of cardiovascular risk. Preventive cardiology, thus, is a welcome paradigm shift that provides specialists with a necessary toolkit to avert unplanned surgical interventions through risk factor management at the level of their expression.

The Three Tiers of Cardiovascular Prevention

In order to secure health in the distant future, the health care providers separate the preventive interventions into three stages:

  • Primordial prevention:

This is about preventing the appearance of risk factors by preserving normal weight and blood pressure from an early age.

  • Primary prevention:

This is the handling of the existing risk factors (such as high cholesterol or smoking) of individuals without heart disease symptoms.

  • Secondary prevention:

This is the prevention of a new heart attack in patients who have already been operated on (CABG or valve repair).

The Integration of Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery

One of the major breakthroughs in adult health over time is the transition to robotic-assisted Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery in Yashoda Medicity Ghaziabad. It is done, for example, by methods such as Robotic MVR (Mitral Valve Repair) or Robotic-Assisted CABG, which enable surgeons to perform very precise operations through small incisions. In this way, the method is “preventive”, since it lessens the body’s overall damage, lowers the risk of infection after surgery, and allows the patient to return to a healthy, active lifestyle even faster than after traditional open-heart surgery.
