Conditions treated
What we evaluate and manage
Four families of heart questions make up most of consultative cardiology. Each page below explains, in plain language, what the condition is, how an evaluation actually works here, and what management looks like over time.
-
01
Arrhythmia & palpitations
Fluttering, racing, or skipped beats — from harmless extra beats to atrial fibrillation, rhythm questions deserve a clear answer.
- Fluttering, pounding, or "skipped beat" sensations
- Episodes of racing heartbeat that start or stop suddenly
- Light-headedness or near-fainting spells

02
High blood pressure
The most treatable major cardiac risk factor — once it's measured properly and managed with a plan you can live with.
- Office readings that keep coming back high
- Blood pressure that stays up despite two or more medications
- Big swings between home and office readings

Heart-failure management
A diagnosis, not a verdict. Modern step-by-step therapy is about protecting the years you spend outside the clinic.
- Breathlessness with activity, or when lying flat
- Waking at night short of breath
- Swelling in the ankles and legs that builds through the day

Preventive cardiology
For people with a family history or mounting risk factors who want a clear-eyed risk assessment before anything happens.
- A parent or sibling developed heart disease early (father or brother before 55; mother or sister before 65)
- Your cholesterol or blood pressure has been drifting up
- You have diabetes or prediabetes

Don't see your concern listed?
These four areas are the core of the practice, but murmurs, valve questions, cholesterol problems, and "my doctor heard something" referrals are everyday work here too. Call (555) 014-7821 and describe what's going on — June will tell you honestly whether this is the right clinic, and where to go if it isn't.
