For People with Diabetes, Obesity, or a Strong Family History of Heart Disease
At KidsHeart Medical Center, we provide targeted cardiac care for adults who carry a higher lifetime risk of heart disease. Our Preventive Cardiology service for high-risk groups focuses on early detection, personalized risk reduction, and close
follow-up especially for those living with diabetes, obesity, or a significant family history of cardiovascular events. This focused care is part of our Adult Cardiology Program, offered across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain.
Who Is Considered High Risk?
Some individuals are more likely to develop heart disease even before symptoms appear. You may be in a high-risk category if you:
Have Type 2 or Type 1 diabetes
Are living with overweight or obesity
Have high blood pressure or abnormal cholesterol levels
Have a parent or sibling with early heart disease
Smoke or have been exposed to chronic stress
Have chronic kidney disease or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Have had pregnancy-related conditions like pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes
Even if you feel well now, proactive cardiac care can help avoid future complications.
What Does Our Preventive Program Include?
Your evaluation and care plan will be tailored to your specific risk factors, and may involve:
Detailed cardiovascular risk scoring
ECG and echocardiogram to assess for early heart changes
Blood tests for lipids, glucose, HbA1c, kidney function, and inflammation
Nutrition and weight guidance tailored to your lifestyle and goals
Blood pressure management and activity planning
Ongoing reviews and medication adjustments if needed
We help you take control of your risk — with clarity, not overwhelm.
