| PREVENTATIVE CARDIOLOGY SAVES LIVES |
Despite dramatic advances in the field of Cardiology, heart disease remains the #1 killer in the United States. Each year 330,000 people die before even reaching the emergency room after suffering a heart attack. It is all to common to hear a story about a friend or family member who received no warning, suffered a heart attack and died from sudden cardiac death.
The good news is that heart disease can be prevented. Effective prevention of Myocardial Infarctions (Heart Attacks) requires early diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Ben-Zur has over twenty years of experience in the field and is board certified in three separate areas of medicine. Board certification is one important way to gauge the expertise of your physician. The key to success against this menace of heart disease is to be seen by a cardiologist who can find a problem before symptoms appear. |
