Conditions We Treat

Amyloid heart disease is infiltration of the heart muscle by abnormal protein deposits, causing progressive heart failure that is now treatable when caught early.

Cardiac

Angina pectoris is chest discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, usually from coronary artery disease.

Cardiac

Aortic aneurysms can be life-threatening if undetected.

Conditions

Aortic atherosclerosis and peripheral vascular disease indicate systemic arterial disease that affects your entire cardiovascular system.

Conditions

Aortic stenosis is progressive narrowing of the aortic valve that obstructs blood flow out of the heart and requires careful monitoring.

Cardiac

Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms ranging from slow heart rates and extra beats to fast rhythms that need urgent control.

Electrical

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common heart rhythm disorder and significantly increases stroke risk.

Conditions

Cardiometabolic disease represents the intersection of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease.

Conditions

Cardiomyopathy — disease of the heart muscle — requires specialized expertise for diagnosis and management.

Conditions

Carotid artery disease is a major cause of stroke.

Conditions

Chest pain requires prompt cardiac evaluation to rule out serious conditions including coronary artery disease and pericarditis.

Symptoms & Risk Factors

Congenital heart disease is structural heart abnormality present from birth, ranging from small variants to complex defects requiring lifelong cardiac care.

Cardiac

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, but with expert management, outcomes can be dramatically improved.

Conditions

Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg, that requires anticoagulation and carries a risk of pulmonary embolism.

Vascular

Diabetic vascular disease is the accelerated atherosclerosis and microvascular damage seen in diabetes that drives heart attack, stroke, and limb complications.

Metabolic

Edema (swelling) in the legs, ankles, or abdomen can be a sign of heart failure or other cardiac conditions.

Symptoms & Risk Factors

Endocarditis is infection of the heart valves or inner heart lining that requires prolonged antibiotic therapy and sometimes surgery.

Infectious

A family history of heart disease significantly increases your cardiovascular risk.

Symptoms & Risk Factors

Heart failure is the inability of the heart to meet the body's circulatory demands, with treatment now meaningfully extending life in both major subtypes.

Cardiac

Elevated cholesterol and lipid abnormalities significantly increase your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Conditions

After a heart attack, expert ongoing care is essential to prevent recurrence and optimize recovery.

Symptoms & Risk Factors

After a stroke, cardiovascular evaluation and management are critical for preventing recurrence.

Symptoms & Risk Factors

Hyperlipidemia is elevation of cholesterol or other blood lipids and is one of the most powerful modifiable risk factors for heart disease.

Metabolic

Hypertension is one of the most significant modifiable risk factors for heart disease and stroke.

Conditions

Ischemic heart disease is reduced blood flow to the heart muscle from coronary artery narrowing, the leading cause of cardiovascular events worldwide.

Cardiac

Marfan syndrome is a genetic connective tissue disorder that affects the aorta, heart valves, and other systems, requiring lifelong cardiac surveillance.

Structural

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors — central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and elevated glucose — that compound to drive heart disease.

Metabolic

Microvascular angina is chest pain caused by dysfunction of the heart's smallest arteries rather than blockages in the major coronary vessels.

Cardiac

Mitral valve prolapse is a common valve condition in which one or both mitral leaflets bulge into the left atrium during heart contraction.

Cardiac

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, most often from viral infection, that can range from mild and self-limited to severe with lasting heart failure.

Inflammatory

Myopericarditis is concurrent inflammation of the heart muscle and pericardium, combining features of myocarditis and pericarditis in one condition.

Inflammatory

Obesity is excess body fat that drives hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure, and is now meaningfully treatable.

Metabolic

Obstructive sleep apnea is repeated upper-airway collapse during sleep that drives hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and stroke risk.

Metabolic

Palpitations can be frightening and may indicate underlying arrhythmias.

Symptoms & Risk Factors

Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardial sac around the heart, typically causing sharp chest pain that improves with sitting forward.

Inflammatory

Cardiovascular risk rises sharply in women during perimenopause, with shifts in lipids, blood pressure, and metabolic health that deserve focused attention.

Metabolic

Peripheral artery disease is narrowing of the arteries outside the heart, most often in the legs, and a marker of widespread atherosclerosis.

Vascular

Preventive cardiology focuses on identifying and modifying cardiovascular risk before disease develops or progresses, the highest-leverage activity in modern cardiology.

Cardiac

Pulmonary embolism is a blood clot that travels to the lungs, causing potentially life-threatening obstruction of pulmonary blood flow.

Cardiac

Pulmonary hypertension is elevated pressure in the lung arteries that strains the right side of the heart and limits exercise tolerance.

Vascular

Renal artery stenosis is narrowing of the arteries supplying the kidneys, often causing resistant hypertension and progressive kidney dysfunction.

Vascular

Shortness of breath can be a sign of serious cardiac conditions including heart failure, valve disease, or coronary artery disease.

Symptoms & Risk Factors

Sports cardiology is specialized cardiovascular evaluation of athletes and active adults, distinguishing healthy adaptation from disease and enabling safe participation.

Cardiac

Stress cardiomyopathy is a temporary weakening of the heart muscle triggered by intense emotional or physical stress, often mimicking a heart attack.

Cardiac

Stroke and TIA are interruptions of blood flow to the brain that demand urgent evaluation and intensive cardiovascular risk reduction.

Cerebrovascular

Syncope is a temporary loss of consciousness due to a brief drop in blood flow to the brain and requires careful evaluation to identify the cause.

Neurologic/Cardiac

Syncope (fainting) can have cardiac causes that require urgent evaluation.

Symptoms & Risk Factors

Tricuspid regurgitation is leakage of the tricuspid valve that can strain the right side of the heart and cause fluid retention.

Cardiac

Unstable angina is new, worsening, or rest-occurring chest pain that signals a coronary syndrome and requires urgent evaluation.

Cardiac

Valvular cardiomyopathy is heart muscle dysfunction caused by long-standing valve disease and is reversible when the valve is treated in time.

Structural

Valvular heart disease affects how blood flows through your heart and can lead to heart failure if untreated.

Conditions

Vasospastic angina is chest pain caused by sudden constriction of a coronary artery rather than fixed plaque, often occurring at rest.

Cardiac

Chronic venous insufficiency is impaired return of blood from the legs, causing swelling, aching, varicose veins, and skin changes.

Vascular

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, with unique risk factors, presentations, and treatment considerations that warrant dedicated attention.
