CardioPrevent® is a heart health program that helps people with risk factors lower their chances of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). The program accepts individuals who are at moderate to high risk for CVD. Participation requires a referral by a physician or nurse practitioner, and results are shared with the referring physician to support the coordination of care.
