At California Cardiac Institute, we combine advanced diagnostics with personalized lifestyle guidance to prevent disease, detect problems early, and help you live not only longer, but better. Led by Dr. Sumita Paul, a Harvard-trained physician with over 30 years of experience, we focus not only on treating heart disease but also on preventing it before it begins.
Proactive Approach to Your Heart Health
When most people think of cardiology, they imagine tests, diagnoses, and treatments after a problem has already developed. At California Cardiac Institute, we take a different approach. Dr. Paul believes that the true purpose of cardiology is not just to manage disease, but to protect your health long before complications arise. This means that your consultation is about more than identifying current risks: it’s about shaping your long-term heart health strategy.
Advantages of Cardiology Consultations:
- Detect heart disease early through advanced imaging, including cardiac PET scan
- Receive a personalized plan that combines medicine with diet and lifestyle
- Understand your risk factors with detailed education from your physician
- Prevent complications like heart attack and stroke before they occur
- Benefit from Dr. Paul’s 30+ years of expertise in preventive cardiology
- Focus on longevity and living healthier into advanced age
Advanced Medicine With Lifestyle Practices
Dr. Paul is passionate about combining the best of modern medicine with the power of lifestyle practices. Through advanced diagnostic imaging, including our state-of-the-art cardiac PET scan, which maps the entire heart for accurate and early diagnosis, she ensures that every detail of your cardiovascular health is thoroughly evaluated. Beyond cutting-edge diagnostics, your consultation will also explore how diet, exercise, stress management, and other lifestyle factors can be optimized to protect your heart. Dr. Paul and our team of physicians work with you directly, giving you the knowledge and strategies to build a foundation of health that supports not just longevity, but quality of life.
Prevention as the Cornerstone of Longevity
Dr. Paul’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that prevention is the greatest form of treatment. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, but the vast majority of cases are preventable with the right care. Through cardiology consultations, patients learn how to lower cholesterol, manage blood pressure, balance weight, and protect their arteries.
By educating you directly, Dr. Paul ensures that you not only understand your current health status but also have the tools to transform your future. Her goal is to help you live not just longer, but stronger, with the energy and vitality to enjoy life fully.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
When you meet with us, your consultation begins with an in-depth discussion about your medical history, lifestyle, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. We listen carefully to your concerns because every detail matters in understanding your overall cardiovascular risk. You’ll undergo a physical evaluation, and based on your needs, our physicians may recommend diagnostic imaging or functional testing. Depending on your needs, we may suggest:
- Echocardiogram to evaluate heart structure and function
- Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) to assess electrical activity
- Stress tests to measure how your heart responds to exertion
- Holter or event monitoring for ongoing rhythm evaluation
- Vascular ultrasounds to check for blockages or narrowing in your arteries
- Coronary calcium scoring and CT angiography to detect early atherosclerosis
- Cardiac PET scan for highly detailed mapping of your heart for accurate detection of disease
These tools allow us to identify risks and disease processes before they become critical, so that treatment and prevention strategies can begin as early as possible. Our team also provides a clear, step-by-step treatment plan that may include medications, lifestyle recommendations, follow-up imaging, or enrollment in one of our specialized clinics.
