General Checkup

Starting with a doctor’s visit at one of our clinics, starts a full, comprehensive evaluation of you heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular) system. The evaluation can be triggered by the presence of a relevant complaint (symptoms), appearance of signs indicative of CV disease, or referral by another healthcare provider in a clinic or a hospital floor or emergency room. 

Basic Diagnostics

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is our basic diagnostic tool that every new patient, or existing heart patients who experience changes in their condition, must have. An EKG can provide a plethora of information that, when combined with review of sign, symptoms and physical examination, might be all certain subsets of individuals need.

Advanced Diagnostics

Typically, heart disease diagnostic tests provide different pieces of information. Oftentime, multiple tests are orders simultaneously or in sequence to provide the information need to diagnose a heart or blood vessels condition, and help guide its management. Our healthcare providers follow established, scientific trial-based, guidelines when they recommend any test, medical treatment and or procedure. Of the commonly utilized advanced diagnostic tests are: stress test, ultrasound (echo), tilt table, diagnostic catheterization.

Therapy

In addition to lifestyle changes, many classes of medications can be used to stabilize or improve heart disease and quality of life. Several interventional procedures can be performed to achieve this goal such as heart catheterization with placement of a metal stent to open blocked heart arteries, placement of a medical device to regulate the heartbeats (pacemaker) or provide Internal shock in case of a life threatening emergency (defibrillator), and more…

Follow-up

In many cases, heart disease develops over the course of many years, well before symptoms or felt the patient, and lasts for the life of the patient. Therefore, long-term follow up and consultation with other specialists when needed, such as when a dental procedure or surgery is to be scheduled, is essential.

Some commonly prescribed medicines require biannual review of lab results even if there are no symptoms or complaints.

The essentials

Proper doctor’s visit requires
Listening to patients, and understanding their medical issues, and related matters.
Examining patients and listening to their heart sounds

Ordering tests and procedures to achieve the set goal.

We listen carefully, we understand fully, and we do what’s best for you, after explaining and discussing all available options with you.

EKG

Tracing of the electrical current generated in the heart is an essential test that every new patient must have. It is often the first step to diagnosing heart conditions, especially arrhythmias (abnormal rhythm of the heart)

Echo (-cardiogram)

A majority of new patients will need this test to visualize the heart, evaluate its function, and run calculations, for initial diagnosis or follow up, using ultrasound technology

Additional tests

There is a host of other tests that we perform in the hospital as needed. The most important of which is heart cath (-etherization) that enable the assessment the blockage in the small arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. This test can be combined with placement of a stent when needed to open blocked arteries.
