“By using the clinical information already available to us, this program enables us to identify patients who may benefit from earlier follow-up… helping to close critical gaps in detection.” — Dr. Samer Kazziha, Chief Medical Director, McLaren Heart & Vascular Institute.

Based in Grand Blanc, Michigan, McLaren Health Care operates 12 hospitals and a massive network of providers. This initiative aims to combat heart disease—the leading cause of death—by turning existing clinical data into actionable preventive care.

Dr. Sam Kazziha is a Board Certified Interventional Cardiologist
Dr. Sam Kazziha is a board-certified interventional cardiologist who was named Chief Medical Director of McLaren Heart & Vascular Institute in late 2024. The institute was established to unify cardiology, vascular, and cardiothoracic services across all 12 McLaren hospitals, and Dr. Kazziha leads its mission to develop and implement clinical practice guidelines, performance benchmarks, and advanced therapies to best serve patients throughout the state. Under his leadership, the Heart & Vascular Institute has formed physician-led subcommittees for areas such as cardiovascular surgery and PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention), ensuring a team-driven approach to clinical decision-making.

Dr. Kazziha is a strong advocate for system-wide standardization, believing that consistent protocols and procedures across all subsidiaries are fundamental to delivering high-quality care. He emphasizes a continuous improvement model where issues are raised, reviewed, and resolved in a structured, recurring process — creating a constant quality improvement loop. He also champions the use of artificial intelligence in cardiac imaging, noting that AI tools now being integrated into CT scanning technology can identify previously hidden heart and vascular risks, allowing clinicians to intervene before patients are even aware of a potential issue.

Beyond standardization and technology, Dr. Kazziha is focused on advancing cutting-edge therapies such as Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), a lifesaving treatment for patients experiencing severe heart or lung failure, which is being developed at Flint under his direction. He stresses the importance of transparency through participation in national registries like the National Cardiovascular Data Registry, holding the system accountable to both achieving and openly reporting on quality standards. Reflecting on the broader culture he is helping to build, Dr. Kazziha notes that the entire team — administrators and physicians alike — shares a significant desire to progress, improve, and accelerate innovation in care.

Blood pressure & menopause — what many women aren’t told 👇
During perimenopause and menopause, falling estrogen levels can affect how blood vessels function. As estrogen declines, arteries may become stiffer and the body may become more sensitive to salt, both of which can raise blood pressure.
This is one reason hypertension becomes more common after menopause.
But there’s good news:
Small lifestyle changes can make a big difference.
✔️ Regular movement
✔️ Good sleep
✔️ Managing stress
✔️ Reducing excess sodium
✔️ Maintaining muscle and metabolic health
✔️ take blood pressure medications regularly as prescribed
Checking blood pressure regularly during this stage of life is important, even if it has always been normal before.
Menopause is a major transition — but with the right awareness and habits, women can protect their long-term heart health. ❤️

Trying to lower your cholesterol naturally?
Here’s what actually works—especially for women ❤️
Small daily habits can make a big difference for your heart:
🥗 Eat more fiber
Oats, beans, lentils, fruits, and vegetables help lower LDL (“bad” cholesterol)
🥑 Choose healthy fats
Think olive oil, nuts, seeds, and avocado instead of saturated fats
🐟 Add omega-3s
Fatty fish like salmon support heart health
🚶‍♀️ Move your body regularly
Even 30 minutes of walking most days can improve cholesterol
⚖️ Maintain a healthy weight
Even modest weight loss can help improve levels
🚭 Avoid smoking + limit alcohol
—
For many women, lifestyle changes are powerful—but sometimes they’re not enough on their own.
That’s where medications like statins may come in, based on guidance from the
American Heart Association.
❤️ Bottom line:
Start with lifestyle, but don’t ignore medical advice—your heart health is worth it.
