Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. However, most cardiovascular conditions develop gradually and are preventable with the right care. Standard screenings often miss early warning signs, leaving patients at risk. That’s why Avita MD takes a deeper, more precise approach to cardiovascular prevention.
Our heart health program blends advanced cardiology screenings with functional medicine strategies to identify risks early and create a personalized plan for long-term heart wellness. From advanced lipid panels and inflammation testing to genetics and nutrition, we look beyond the basics to give you a clear, comprehensive picture of your cardiovascular health. Based on this information, we design a personalized heart health plan, which may incorporate prescription medications, nutrition strategies, and functional medicine protocols to target the root causes of risk.
At Avita MD, we are your wellness advocates, helping you safeguard your heart and your future. Take the first step toward a stronger heart and better health by scheduling your consultation today.
Our tests go beyond basic cholesterol with LDL particle size, ApoB, lipoprotein(a), hs-CRP, and homocysteine markers to detect hidden cardiovascular risks.
3x4 Genetics identifies inherited predispositions while metabolic panels uncover insulin resistance, prediabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
Access to clinically proven options such as Repatha, Pitavastatin, Lovaza, Vasepa, and bempedoic acid when appropriate for your care.
Dietitian-led programs provide sustainable guidance for cholesterol, blood pressure, weight management, and long-term heart wellness.
Heart health is about more than avoiding heart attacks or strokes. It’s about protecting the systems that fuel your entire body. Cardiovascular wellness requires balance between cholesterol, blood pressure, inflammation, and metabolic function. At Avita MD, we define heart health broadly, incorporating genetics, nutrition, and lifestyle alongside cardiology-level diagnostics.
Our mission is not just to treat disease once it appears, but to prevent it by identifying risks early and providing you with the tools to keep your heart strong for decades to come.
Your evaluation begins with an in-depth consultation, where we review your personal and family medical history, current lifestyle, and any symptoms or concerns. From there, our providers order advanced labs and screenings that go well beyond the standard cholesterol check.
Tests may include lipid particle analysis, genetic assessments, and inflammation markers, alongside metabolic screening to uncover hidden insulin resistance. Once results are in, we build a customized plan that may include medication, nutrition, and functional medicine strategies to reduce risk and optimize long-term heart performance.
Our tests go beyond standard cholesterol testing, measuring LDL particle size, ApoB, and lipoprotein(a) to provide a more nuanced understanding of risks to heart health.
Inflammation markers like hs-CRP and homocysteine signal when blood vessels are under stress, which can speed up plaque buildup. Measuring these markers can detect hidden risks even when cholesterol levels look normal.
The 3X4 Genetics test analyzes key genes that influence cholesterol metabolism, blood pressure, inflammation, and clotting, uncovering inherited risks to cardiovascular health.
Metabolic health screening looks for signs of insulin resistance, prediabetes, and metabolic syndrome, conditions that strain the heart and blood vessels over time.
