Conditions We Treat
- Amyloidosis: A condition where abnormal protein deposits build up in the heart, impairing its function and potentially leading to heart failure and other complications
- Arrhythmias: an irregular heartbeat caused when the electrical signals in the heart don’t function properly
- Cardiomyopathy: Disease of the heart muscle, which can affect its ability to pump blood properly
- Channelopathy: a disorder caused by defects in ion channels, leading to abnormal electrical activity in cells, which can affect the heart, muscles, or nervous system
- Cholesterol disorders: abnormal levels of cholesterol in the blood, typically with high levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol or low levels of “good” HDL cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency: a condition where the veins in the legs are unable to effectively return blood to the heart, leading to symptoms like swelling, pain, and varicose veins
- Congenital Heart Defects: Structural heart abnormalities present at birth
- Congestive Heart Failure: A condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to fatigue and fluid buildup
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Blockages or narrowing of the heart’s arteries that can lead to heart attacks
- High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): High blood pressure can damage the heart and increase the risk of heart disease
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM): a genetic condition in which the heart muscle becomes abnormally thickened, impairing the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Narrowing of the arteries in the legs or arms, which can affect circulation and lead to other heart complications
- Preventive Cardiology: Prevent coronary artery disease with lifestyle changes and medications
- Renal artery stenosis: A condition where the arteries supplying blood to the kidneys become narrowed, often due to a buildup of plaque. This reduced blood flow can lead to high blood pressure, kidney damage, or kidney failure if left untreated.
- Stroke Prevention: Managing risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart arrhythmias, can lower the risk of having a stroke.
- Syncope: a temporary loss of consciousness usually related to insufficient blood flow to the brain. It’s also called fainting or “passing out.”
- Valvular Heart Disease: Problems with the heart’s valves, such as leaking or narrowing, affecting blood flow
- Varicose Veins: enlarged, twisted veins that typically appear on the legs due to weakened valves, causing blood to pool and the veins to become swollen and visible
