We keep talking about coronary calcium scans! Stay tuned for details on CGC’s cardiovascular screening program in the next month… ❤️🩻💊🩺❤️

Measuring cholesterol levels has long been the main way doctors assess the risk of heart disease. Increasingly, people are opting, too, for a simple, relatively affordable test: a coronary artery calcium scan, or CAC.

The tests recently got a boost from influential clinical guidelines issued earlier this month by leading cardiology groups. These guidelines also included, for the first time, recommended levels of LDL—known as low-density lipoprotein or “bad” cholesterol—based on calcium scores from the scans.

Why does this matter to you? The more calcium you have in your heart, the lower your LDL cholesterol should be to help reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. So the scans give doctors and patients a more precise picture of your risk and whether you need to take action.

Here’s more to know about the scans: 🔗 https://on.wsj.com/4tsK2Qe

Today we celebrate the doctors of Cottage Grove Cardiology. Did you know it takes 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, 3 years of internal medicine residency, and 3 years of cardiology fellowship to become a cardiologist? It takes a lot of time and dedication to be able to care for our patients, and we continue to learn every day.
Happy National Doctors Day!! ❤️🫶❤️

What a fantastic event of women supporting women at the AHA Go Red for Women luncheon yesterday. We relayed one imperative message: While the color is RED, the message is GO - when awareness turns into action, lives are saved.
We are particularly thankful for Dr. Stephanie Saucier, whose focus on Women’s Heart Disease Awareness has increased recognition of the intricacies of a woman’s story, and saved so many lives. Dr. Saucier’s patient shared her moving story of strength, hope, and awareness of SCAD. Check out more information here (and spread the word):
