Medical Weight Management for Cardiology Practices

Alevia partners with cardiology practices to provide medical weight management support to your patients.

Weight-Related Challenges in Cardiac Practice

We can assist with:

  • Secondary prevention priorities – managing weight has been shown to reduce risk of 3 point MACE by 20% in those who have underlying CVD.1
  • Atrial fibrillation
    Weight management can support symptom control and procedural planning. Patients benefit from a coordinated approach alongside your rhythm-control strategies.2
  • Heart failure and cardiometabolic complexity
    In selected patients (including HFpEF), weight management can complement guideline-directed care to improve heart failure symptoms and reduce hospitalisation3. Programs must protect function, monitor nutrition and align with fluid and medication plans.

Alevia: Your Cardiovascular Weight-Management Partner

We provide coordinated medical weight management that aligns with your cardiac treatment plans while you focus on complex cardiovascular care.

  • Medical Weight Management Programs
    Structured medical weight-management programs to help optimise cardiac conditions such as ischaemic heart disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
  • Full Multi-disciplinary Team
    Alevia’s team of doctors, dietitians, exercise physiologists and mental health clinicians are all in-house. Our service can provide this wrap around care to your patients where needed.
  • Medical treatment discussions where appropriate
    If clinically suitable, a doctor may discuss whether a medication could form part of care. We don’t advertise or name specific prescription medicines on public pages; any medication decisions are made by the prescriber with the patient in consultation.
  • Risk-factor support
    Beyond weight, we address diet quality, activity planning within cardiac limits, and broader metabolic risk (e.g., insulin resistance, lipids) to complement your prevention strategy.
