About

Carlos Eduardo Prazeres, MD is a cardiologist at Instituto Assaly with a cardiovascular-imaging foundation. He trained in medicine at UFSC, completed internal medicine at UFPR, cardiology at HCor, and postgraduate work in cardiac CT and cardiac MRI at HCor. His bio frames cardiovascular disease as the world's leading cause of death and describes personalized risk assessment, patient education, and lifestyle adherence as central to prevention. He also maintains an HCor cardiology affiliation and has cardiac-imaging publications indexed in major journals.

What to Know

Signature approach

Prazeres uses imaging-informed cardiology for prevention: identify risk early, explain what the patient can change, and choose treatment with safety and adherence in mind. Cardiac CT, coronary calcium, CT angiography, and cardiac MRI are part of his professional background, so the consult is well suited to a patient who wants a clearer picture of cardiovascular risk before symptoms appear.

What sets them apart

  • Cardiac imaging depth. HCor training in cardiac CT and MRI gives him more than a general cardiology profile.
  • Preventive framing. His bio explicitly ties personalized risk assessment to lifestyle adherence, not just treatment after disease is established.
  • Academic cardiology signal. Publications on CT angiography, cardiac MRI, and cardiomyopathy imaging place him in the cardiac-imaging research conversation.
