This program is an expansion of the Stanford Preventive Cardiology Clinic, which was established thirty years ago by Dr. Farquhar. PACT is directed by Stanley G. Rockson, M.D., who is assisted by Drs. M.S.N. Recent clinical trials have confirmed the results of five decades of research into the causes of cardiovascular disease and have established the effectiveness of aggressive risk factor management in preventing new and recurrent cardiovascular disease events. However, there is a large population of at-risk patients who currently do not have access to the clinical resources for optimal management of cardiovascular disease risk factors. The goal of PACT is to comprehensively evaluate these patients and deliver to them the most effective measures to impede the progression of their atherosclerosis.
Patients also have access to research protocols and clinical trials.
The program is designed for people who have a history of heart disease, are at risk for heart disease, or simply want to know their risk. All rights reserved.
