Keeping Your Heart Healthy — Whether You’re Starting Fresh or Protecting Past Health

At KidsHeart Medical Center, we believe the best heart care often begins before symptoms appear.
Our Preventive Cardiology service supports both adults with no known heart disease (primary prevention) and those with a past cardiac history (secondary prevention), 

helping reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or worsening conditions.
This service is a core part of our Adult Cardiology Program, available in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain.

What Is Preventive Cardiology?

Preventive Cardiology is a medical approach focused on avoiding future heart problems through early detection, risk factor control, and healthy lifestyle guidance.

There are two types:

  • Primary Prevention: For individuals with no history of heart disease but with risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, or family history.
  • Secondary Prevention: For those who’ve already had a cardiac event (like a heart attack or stent placement) and want to prevent future complications.

It’s not just about tests. It’s about building a long-term plan to protect your heart.

When Should You Seek Preventive Cardiology?

You should consider a preventive cardiology consultation if you:

  • Have a family history of heart disease or sudden cardiac death
  • Are over 40 and haven’t had a recent cardiac evaluation
  • Have high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome
  • Smoke or lead a sedentary lifestyle
  • Have experienced a prior cardiac event (heart attack, angina, bypass, or stenting)
  • Want a heart risk check before beginning a new exercise or weight loss program

Preventive care is especially important if symptoms are silent — or if you want peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Primary prevention is for those without heart disease. Secondary is for those with a past heart issue, to prevent it from recurring.

Yes — many risk factors and early heart disease have no symptoms. That’s when prevention works best.

Absolutely. Diet, exercise, and managing stress can reduce your heart disease risk by over 80% in many cases.

Only if necessary. We focus on the right balance between lifestyle and medical support.

It depends on your risk profile. Some need annual reviews, others more frequently — especially for secondary prevention.
