The NY Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease (212-257-2363) has expanded advanced cardiac testing to identify hidden coronary plaque and overlooked cardiovascular risk factors, helping patients detect heart disease earlier when symptoms may be mistaken for normal aging or missed by conventional screening.
-- The NY Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease has expanded its preventive cardiology services to help identify hidden coronary artery disease before it leads to a heart attack. The announcement comes amid warnings from cardiologists that early symptoms of heart disease are frequently overlooked or mistaken for signs of normal aging, delaying diagnosis until a serious cardiac event occurs. Recent medical guidance highlights that persistent fatigue, shortness of breath during routine activities, swelling, and declining exercise tolerance are often dismissed as age-related changes despite being potential warning signs of underlying cardiovascular disease.

Many heart attacks develop from non-obstructive coronary plaques that do not significantly restrict blood flow and may not be detected by traditional stress testing. Research has shown that people with non-obstructive coronary artery disease remain at an elevated risk of heart attack and other major cardiovascular events, underscoring the importance of identifying disease before symptoms become severe.
To improve early detection, The NY Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease now offers expanded access to coronary CT angiography (CCTA) alongside advanced lipid testing. Unlike conventional stress tests, CCTA can identify both obstructive and non-obstructive plaque within the coronary arteries, providing a more comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular risk. Advanced lipid testing, including measurements of Lipoprotein(a) and Apolipoprotein B, can also reveal inherited or otherwise hidden risk factors that may not be apparent through standard cholesterol screening.
According to the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association, coronary CT angiography carries a Class 1 recommendation for evaluating many patients with chest pain and plays an increasingly important role in identifying coronary artery disease at earlier stages. Combined with personalized risk assessment, these diagnostic tools enable clinicians to develop targeted prevention strategies before a cardiac emergency occurs.
Serving patients throughout Midtown Manhattan, the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Westchester, Long Island, New Jersey, and the greater New York metropolitan area, the practice provides individualized prevention plans that combine advanced imaging, laboratory testing, lifestyle recommendations, and evidence-based medical therapy when appropriate.
Individuals experiencing persistent fatigue, unexplained shortness of breath, reduced exercise capacity, or other symptoms that seem disproportionate to normal aging are encouraged to seek a comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation rather than assume these changes are simply part of getting older.
