Prevention
Heart disease is the leading cause of the death in the United States. It is also a major cause of disability. There are many things that can raise your risk for heart disease. They are called risk factors. Some of them you cannot control, but there are many that you can. Learning about them can lower your risk of heart disease. We’re here to listen and offer ways we can help reduce your risk.
Dr. Richard Chang, interventional cardiologist at John Muir Health, shares his perspective about how to prevent heart disease - a question he hears often from his patients.
Cardiac Surgery
If surgery becomes part of your treatment plan, our program promises to deliver an unparalleled experience. We started performing cardiac surgery in 1974, and have since incorporated many new, more advanced and less invasive techniques. As a result, John Muir Health’s cardiac surgery program is one of the busiest and most successful programs in Northern California with nationally recognized clinical outcomes. Our deeply experienced cardiac surgery team is devoted to your care and ready to partner with you to handle a wide range of procedures.
Dr. Andreas Kamlot, Cardiac Surgeon with John Muir Health, explains how cardiac surgery has evolved from major incisions to smaller or no incisions in a minimally invasive approach, saving operating time and helping you get back on your feet faster.
