Cardiology Services

Our practice offers a comprehensive range of cardiology services to help you maintain optimal heart health. From diagnostic testing to advanced treatment options, we have the expertise and resources to meet your cardiovascular needs. Here are some of the services we provide:

• Nuclear Stress Test: Imaging test that evaluates blood flow to the heart during rest and exercise, helping diagnose coronary artery disease and assess heart function.
• Exercise Stress Test: Test to evaluate how the heart responds to exertion, helping diagnose coronary artery disease and assess overall cardiovascular fitness.
• ‍Cardioversion: Procedure to restore normal heart rhythm in patients with certain types of arrhythmias using electrical shocks or medications.
• EKG (Electrocardiogram): Non-invasive test to measure the electrical activity of the heart and diagnose heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and heart muscle abnormalities.
• Echocardiogram: Imaging test that uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart, allowing evaluation of its structure and function.
• Holter and Event Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of heart rhythm over a period of time to detect irregularities that may occur sporadically.
• Loop Recorder Implantation: Implantable device used to monitor heart rhythm over an extended period, particularly useful for diagnosing intermittent arrhythmias.
• Pacemaker and ICD Monitoring: Regular monitoring of implanted devices to ensure proper function and detect any abnormalities or malfunctions.
• Transesophageal Echocardiogram: Specialized echocardiogram where the ultrasound probe is inserted into the esophagus to obtain detailed images of the heart's structures.
• Viability Studies: Tests to assess the viability of heart tissue following a heart attack or other cardiac events, helping guide treatment decisions.

Cardiology Conditions

At our practice, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of cardiology conditions. Our team of experienced cardiologists is dedicated to providing personalized care to address your specific needs. Here are some of the conditions we commonly treat:

• Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats that can range from harmless to life-threatening, requiring careful monitoring and treatment.
• Cardiomyopathy: A disease of the heart muscle that affects its size, shape, and function. This condition makes it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively to the rest of the body, leading to various symptoms and potential complications.
• Carotid Artery Disease: Buildup of plaque in the carotid arteries, which can lead to stroke if left untreated.
• Cholesterol / Lipid Disorders: Abnormal levels of cholesterol and lipids in the blood, contributing to heart disease and other cardiovascular conditions.
• Congestive Heart Failure: A chronic condition where the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently, resulting in fatigue, shortness of breath, and other symptoms.
• Coronary Artery Disease: Narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, often caused by a buildup of plaque, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart.
• Hypertension: High blood pressure, a common condition that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health problems.
• Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS):  A condition characterized by an abnormal increase in heart rate when moving from lying down to standing up. This excessive heart rate increase often leads to symptoms such as lightheadedness, fainting, fatigue, and palpitations.
• Preventative Cardiology: Strategies and interventions aimed at reducing the risk of heart disease through lifestyle modifications, medication, and regular monitoring.
• Renal Artery Disease: Narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys, often associated with high blood pressure and kidney problems.
• Structural Heart Disease: Abnormalities or defects in the structures of the heart, such as the valves, chambers, or walls, requiring specialized treatment.
• Syncope: Temporary loss of consciousness caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure or inadequate blood flow to the brain, often requiring evaluation and management.
• Valvular Heart Disease: Conditions affecting the heart valves, such as stenosis or regurgitation, which can impair heart function and require treatment to prevent complications.
