At the office of Joseph Rhinegold, MD, the emphasis is on preventative care for keeping the heart healthy. Our approach is to teach patients the basics of heart health so that they do not need chronic care.

The heart disease prevention program involves the whole family in the patient’s care, so that everyone can contribute to keeping the patient as healthy as possible.

Pig stem cells used to treat heart conditions
Scientists at John Hopkins have successfully grown stem cells garnered from adult pigs’ hearts. The stem cells were used to repair tissues that were damaged in heart attacks that had been lab-induced in the pigs.

Dark chocolate found to be heart healthy
