Cardiac Disease Prevention & Management

Care Choices is committed to promoting cardiac (heart) disease prevention and management to our members.

Cardiac disease prevention is an important part of our efforts. Care Choices can provide information and support to help you prevent cardiac disease through lifestyle changes. Our strategy includes:

• Identification of, and education regarding, risk factors related to heart disease
• Information on what you can do to change your risk factors to prevent heart disease
• Promotion of healthy lifestyle changes that can help reduce your risk for heart disease

Should you develop cardiac disease, we can help you, along with your primary care doctor, to effectively manage it and minimize its impact on your daily life. Our cardiac disease management strategy includes:

• Identification of, and education to those with established heart disease and at very high risk of developing heart disease
• Information on what you can do to reduce your risk for further heart disease
• Promotion of healthy lifestyle modifications that can help to reduce the effect of heart disease
