An ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure. "The best way to fight heart disease is through prevention," says Dr. Edward B. Diethrich, medical director and founder of the Arizona Heart Institute "We know that the earlier heart disease is detected, the greater the chance that it can be slowed, stopped, or possibly reversed."
In order for a patient to receive the very best health care, the correct diagnosis needs to be made right from the start. The diagnostic services offered at the Arizona Heart Institute are the most up-to-date cardiovascular tests in the world. These tests enable your health-care team to assess the health of your heart and blood vessels using the most accurate tools available.
Once a diagnosis is made, members of your health-care team at the Arizona Heart Institute assemble to choose and provide the very best care for your condition. Many forms of cardiovascular treatment can be delivered on an outpatient basis. If your care requires that you be admitted to the hospital, we will arrange for you to receive treatment at the Arizona Heart Hospital.
Regular exercise is strongly encouraged by the American Heart Association as an important means of preventing and treating cardiovascular disease. Studies show that exercise and behavior modification can slow the progression of disease in the heart and blood vessels.
