Understanding Your Heart:
The heart is a muscular organ that tirelessly pumps blood throughout your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to all your vital organs. Maintaining a healthy heart is crucial for overall well-being. Our department offers a variety of services to address your specific cardiac needs.

Our Areas of Expertise:
Chest Pain Evaluation
We take all chest pain seriously. Our team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the cause, including angina (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart), heart attack, pericarditis (inflammation of the heart sac), and pleurisy (inflammation of the lung lining). Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for optimal outcomes.
Arrhythmias
An irregular heartbeat can disrupt blood flow and cause various symptoms, such as palpitations, dizziness, and fatigue. We diagnose and treat arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, and bradycardia using a variety of methods, including medications, ablation procedures (minimally invasive procedures to destroy abnormal electrical pathways), and pacemakers or defibrillators.
Heart Failure
This condition occurs when the heart weakens and struggles to pump blood effectively. We offer a comprehensive approach to heart failure management, including lifestyle modifications, medications, advanced therapies like cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and potentially heart transplantation in severe cases.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
This is the narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle. CAD can lead to angina and heart attack. We diagnose CAD through tests like stress tests and coronary angiography. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, medications, angioplasty and stenting (opening blocked arteries), and bypass surgery.
Valvular Heart Disease
This condition occurs when the heart weakens and struggles to pump blood effectively. We offer a comprehensive approach to heart failure management, including lifestyle modifications, medications, advanced therapies like cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and potentially heart transplantation in severe cases.
Cardiomyopathy
This is a condition affecting the heart muscle, making it difficult for the heart to pump efficiently. We diagnose and treat various types of cardiomyopathy, including dilated cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (thickened heart muscle), and restrictive cardiomyopathy (stiff heart muscle). Treatment options may include medications, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and in severe cases, heart transplantation.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Uncontrolled high blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease. We offer comprehensive management plans to control blood pressure, including lifestyle modifications and medications.
Lipid Disorders
High cholesterol and other lipids can contribute to heart disease. We help manage cholesterol and other lipid levels by recommending dietary changes, medications, and lifestyle modifications.
Preventive Cardiology
Prevention is key to maintaining a healthy heart. We offer screenings for risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, along with lifestyle counseling to reduce your risk of developing heart disease.
Don't ignore heart concerns.

Cardiology Procedures
A quick and painless test that measures the electrical activity of your heart, helping us detect abnormalities.
This painless ultrasound exam provides detailed images of your heart's structure and function, allowing us to assess pumping efficiency and valve function.
We evaluate how your heart responds to physical exertion through stress tests, helping us diagnose potential problems with blood flow to the heart muscle.
This specialized procedure helps us evaluate the heart's electrical system to pinpoint the cause of arrhythmias.
Sometimes, heart rhythm problems come and go. Holter monitoring involves wearing a portable device for 24-48 hours to capture a continuous record of your heart rhythm
This minimally invasive procedure uses a thin tube inserted into a blood vessel to diagnose and treat various heart conditions, such as blocked arteries or valve problems
For blocked coronary arteries, angioplasty involves inflating a balloon to open the blockage, followed by stent placement to keep the artery open and improve blood flow to the heart muscle.
These implantable devices regulate your heart rhythm by delivering electrical impulses when necessary.
In some cases, a minimally invasive procedure can replace a diseased heart valve without the need for open-heart surgery.
Diagnostic Imaging
Blood Tests
We analyze blood markers to assess cholesterol levels, heart function, and other factors related to heart health
Cardiac CT Scan
Generates detailed cross-sectional images of your heart, helping us diagnose coronary artery disease and other conditions.
Chest X-ray
Provides a general picture of your chest, including the heart and lungs.
Cardiac MRI
Creates detailed images of your heart and surrounding structures, offering valuable insights into potential issues.

When to
See a Cardiologist
Early detection and intervention are crucial for maintaining good heart health. Here are some signs and symptoms that may warrant a visit to a cardiologist:
- Chest pain, pressure, or tightness: This can be a sign of angina, heart attack, or other heart conditions.
- Shortness of breath: Especially at rest or with minimal exertion, this could indicate heart failure or other issues.
- Palpitations or irregular heartbeat: Feeling like your heart is racing, fluttering, or skipping beats can be a sign of arrhythmia.
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting: These symptoms can be caused by various factors, including heart problems that affect blood flow to the brain.
- Pain, numbness, or weakness in legs: This could be a sign of peripheral artery disease (PAD), which affects blood flow to the legs.
- Swollen legs or ankles: This can be caused by heart failure or other conditions affecting circulation.
- High blood pressure: Even if you don’t experience symptoms, uncontrolled high blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
- Family history of heart disease: If you have a close relative (parent, sibling) with a history of heart disease at a young age (under 55 for men, 65 for women), you have an increased risk.
Don’t wait for symptoms! If you have concerns about your heart health or risk factors, schedule a consultation with a cardiologist for preventive care and personalized advice
