Identify, Prevent And Manage Heart Disease
A preventive cardiologist is a medical specialist focused on identifying, managing, and reducing the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease before they lead to serious health issues. This field emphasizes a proactive approach to cardiovascular health, targeting the prevention of conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, hypertension, and other heart-related diseases.
Preventive cardiology combines clinical care, lifestyle modification, and sometimes medication to reduce risk factors in individuals who may be predisposed to heart disease due to genetic, lifestyle, or other health factors.
Preventive Cardiology: More Than Treating Symptoms
The role of a preventive cardiologist extends beyond standard cardiology by addressing a comprehensive set of risk factors. These specialists often evaluate patients for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and lifestyle factors like smoking, sedentary habits, and poor diet.
They work with patients to develop tailored plans that may include nutritional guidance, exercise routines, and stress management techniques to help mitigate cardiovascular risks. They also play a key role in educating patients about the importance of lifestyle changes, often coordinating care with dietitians, physical therapists, and primary care providers.
Comprehensive Whole Body Health
Preventive cardiologists employ advanced diagnostics to assess an individual’s risk profile, including blood tests, imaging, and genetic testing when necessary. These diagnostics can reveal underlying or emerging issues that might not have yet manifested as symptoms but could lead to cardiovascular events in the future.
Through close monitoring and early intervention, a Preventive Cardiologist aims to halt or slow the progression of heart disease.
- People with a strong family history of heart disease
- People with uncontrolled cardiac risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, or obesity
- People who have had a previous heart attack or stroke
- People who have been diagnosed with a heart condition and need help understanding their illness and want to avoid further problems
- People who are at risk for heart disease due to age, ethnicity, or other factors
- People with abnormal advanced lipid panels
- People with abnormal cardiac imaging results
- People interested in taking a proactive approach to their health

Dr Paeschke is wonderful! Having had a heart attack two years ago, it’s an amazing relief to have an ongoing relationship with a cardiologist who is responsive, patient and super knowledgeable.My prior cardiologist was the one who happened to be attending at the hospital. Perfectly competent but impossible to get any meaningful attention.It’s the opposite with Dr Paeschke and the way she’s set-up her practice. I feel very fortunate!

I highly recommend Dr Tracy for all your cardiac issues. I found it very easy to get an appointment, no months long wait, both initially and for important follow up visits -which are enhanced through calls or on-line chats with her. It’s important to me that I communicate directly with my doctor, especially given the breadth and complexity of the issues that we discuss and this is always the case. While Dr Tracy’s focus is on prevention using the latest technology/devices/testing, my needs are immediate and I feel very confident they are met and we have the best plan going forward to address them.

I really like that she is close to me in Monument as well. I highly recommend Dr. Paeschke to anyone looking for a preventative cardiologist.
