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.

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
