Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death globally, affecting millions of individuals each year. Traditional treatments often focus on managing symptoms and using medications to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart rhythms. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take a more comprehensive approach. We focus on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of heart disease—such as chronic inflammation, poor diet, and stress—using natural and holistic treatments.
Our goal is not only to treat your heart disease but to prevent its progression and improve your overall cardiovascular health.
Heart disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the heart, including coronary artery disease, heart attack, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and valvular disease. The most common form, coronary artery disease (CAD), occurs when the blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of fatty deposits.
Common types of heart disease include:
Heart disease can manifest gradually over many years or develop suddenly due to lifestyle factors, genetics, or environmental influences.
Functional medicine seeks to understand the root causes of heart disease, focusing on factors that contribute to the development of cardiovascular problems. The following are common root causes:
At Patients Medical, we offer comprehensive testing to identify the root causes of heart disease and assess cardiovascular health. Our diagnostic tools include:

Maintaining a healthy weight and staying active are crucial to heart health. We offer medically supervised weight loss programs and customized exercise plans to improve cardiovascular fitness and reduce the risk of heart disease.
