Primary care plays an important role in preventing and managing heart conditions like AFib. Regular visits give your Primary Care Provider the opportunity to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, and other risk factors that can impact your heart health. Preventive care also gives you the opportunity to discuss lifestyle factors that support cardiovascular health, including nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and smoking cessation when appropriate. Your Primary Care Provider can also recognize changes that may warrant additional testing or evaluation and coordinate care with a cardiologist or other specialist when needed.

At Delphi Enhanced Primary Care, our physicians focus on proactive, personalized care. Taking the time to understand each patient’s health history and individual risk factors allows our doctors to identify potential concerns and work with patients to develop a plan for their long-term health. With smaller patient panels, Delphi physicians are able to spend more time with patients, closely review their health history, and focus on preventive care. Not just treating problems when they arise.

AFib awareness is about more than recognizing symptoms. It’s about understanding regular preventive care is an important part of maintaining heart health and identifying potential concerns early. This September, know your risk, recognize the signs, and talk with your Primary Care Provider about any concerns.
