Our physicians specialize in helping patients with cardiac conditions who are struggling with obesity and related health concerns to take control of their weight via the safest and most efficient means possible. Since obesity can greatly increase a person’s risk of coronary atherosclerosis and stroke, it is essential that each patient with these conditions be assigned a customized treatment plan that is right for them. In many cases, even a moderate reduction in the patient’s weight can significantly improve their health status and relieve some of the pressure on their heart and lungs. As one example, a patient with congestive heart failure may be assigned a salt-restricted diet and mild exercise program that greatly improves their heart function over time.
