Treatments
Therapies and treatment programs tailored to your needs.
Ablation Therapy (AFib, SVT, VT)
Catheter ablation can durably eliminate or control atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, and many ventricular arrhythmias.
Procedure
Antiarrhythmic Medications
Antiarrhythmic drugs control or convert abnormal heart rhythms. Selection and monitoring require careful balancing of efficacy and side-effect risk.
Pharmacologic
Anticoagulation (Warfarin, DOACs)
Warfarin and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) prevent stroke and thromboembolism. Dr. Kedan helps select and manage the right agent for your physiology.
Pharmacologic
Anticoagulation Management
Anticoagulation therapy plays a critical role in preventing stroke and thromboembolic events for patients with atrial fibrillation, mechanical heart valves, and other high-risk conditions.
Therapies
Antiplatelet Therapy (Aspirin, Clopidogrel)
Aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, and prasugrel reduce arterial clotting events in coronary disease. Selection depends on the clinical scenario.
Pharmacologic
Blood Pressure Medications (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, Beta-blockers)
ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and thiazide diuretics — selected and combined to reach target blood pressure with minimum side effects.
Pharmacologic
Cardiac Catheterization / Angioplasty (PCI)
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) opens narrowed coronary arteries with balloon angioplasty and stent placement, coordinated through Cedars-Sinai.
Procedure
Cardiac Rehab Programs
Structured exercise training, risk-factor education, and behavioral support after a cardiac event — one of cardiology's most under-prescribed therapies.
Non-Pharmacologic
Cardioversion (Electrical or Chemical)
Cardioversion restores normal sinus rhythm using a synchronized electrical shock or an intravenous antiarrhythmic medication.
Procedure
Cholesterol-Lowering Therapy (Statins, PCSK9 inhibitors)
Statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitors, bempedoic acid, and inclisiran — modern lipid therapy goes well beyond a single drug and a single target.
Pharmacologic
Chronic Cardiovascular Disease Management
Living with cardiovascular disease requires ongoing, expert management.
Therapies
Chronic Heart Failure Management
Heart failure management demands vigilant, expert care.
Therapies
Diuretics (Loop, Thiazide)
Loop diuretics (furosemide, torsemide, bumetanide) and thiazide-type diuretics manage volume in heart failure and play a central role in hypertension.
Pharmacologic
Heart Failure Management (ARNIs, SGLT2 inhibitors)
Modern heart failure care centers on guideline-directed medical therapy: ARNIs, SGLT2 inhibitors, beta-blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists.
Pharmacologic
Implantable Devices (Pacemaker, ICD)
Pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization devices treat slow rhythms and prevent sudden cardiac death.
Device/Procedure
Lifestyle and Exercise Prescription
Lifestyle is the foundation of cardiovascular health.
Therapies
Lifestyle Modification (Diet, Exercise, Smoking Cessation)
Diet, exercise, and tobacco cessation remain the most powerful cardiovascular interventions available — when prescribed and supported like any other therapy.
Non-Pharmacologic
Stenting (Coronary, Renal)
Stenting restores blood flow through narrowed arteries — most commonly coronary, sometimes renal — using drug-eluting stents placed via catheter.
Procedure
Valve Repair or Replacement (TAVR, Surgical)
TAVR, TEER (MitraClip), and surgical valve repair or replacement treat aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and other significant valve disease.
