Do you know what your cardiovascular risk REALLY is?


The Heart Attack Prevention Institute (HAPI) of Naples, FL provides advanced diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients with any degree of increased future cardiovascular risk. Our state-of-the-art approach allows preventative and long-term management care for patients with known cardiovascular disease, diabetes, abnormal blood cholesterol levels, hypertension and others at risk for developing cardiovascular disease.

You need better information...


There is much more to diagnosing and managing cardiovascular disease than measuring blood pressure, blood sugar and blood cholesterol levels. The Heart Attack Prevention Institute of Naples, FL is the only "lipid clinic" in SW Florida that delivers state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment of increased future cardiovascular risk using: 1) NMR LipoProfile blood testing; 2) hs-CRP, Lp-PLA2 and myeloperoxidase blood testing; 3) impedance cardiography (ICG) office-based testing; 4) carotid intima-medial thickness (CIMT) office-based testing; and 5) coronary calcium score (CCS) testing. Such detailed information allows the development of an individualized diet, exercise and medication plan for each patient to fend off cardiovascular disease.
