    Lowering your risk of heart disease starts with you.

    Our library has easy ways for you to make lifestyle changes.

    Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease

    Although heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States—accounting for one in four deaths every year—you can do a lot to prevent or reduce your risk of heart-related problems, and Sutter’s nationally recognized cardiac programs can help.

    We offer advanced and effective diagnostic services to pinpoint your heart condition, and a variety of treatment options tailored to your specific needs.

    Sutter’s network of cardiologists can help you manage or lower conditions such as high blood pressure (hypertension), one of the main causes of heart attack and stroke, and high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), which can result in heart attack or chest pain (stable angina) or unstable angina.
