Cardiac Conditions

Comprehensive care for the full spectrum of cardiac conditions — from artery disease and heart failure to lipid disorders and beyond. Explore each condition and your treatment options below.

1

Cardiac Condition

Carotid Artery Disease

The carotid arteries in your neck supply blood to the neck, head, and brain. Carotid artery disease (CAD) occurs when plaque builds up inside these arteries — a process called atherosclerosis — causing blockages that restrict blood flow to the brain. Over time, this significantly increases the risk of stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).

Treatment Options

Mild to Moderate Disease

Mild to Moderate Disease

For patients with mild to moderate carotid artery disease, the focus is on slowing progression and reducing stroke risk through lifestyle changes and medical management.

Severe Disease

Interventional

When the carotid arteries are severely narrowed (typically ≥70%), interventional procedures may be recommended to restore blood flow and prevent stroke.

Need Evaluation?

Our cardiologists provide thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plans for carotid artery disease.

Cardiac Condition

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease in the United States. It develops when the arteries that supply blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the heart muscle become damaged or narrowed — usually due to a buildup of cholesterol-containing deposits (plaque), a process called atherosclerosis. Over time, reduced blood flow can cause chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and ultimately heart attack.

Treatment Options

Lifestyle & Medical Management

First-Line

Many patients with coronary artery disease benefit significantly from lifestyle changes combined with medication to reduce risk factors, control symptoms, and prevent further plaque buildup.

Interventional Procedures

Advanced

When medications are insufficient to control symptoms or when blockages are significant, minimally invasive or surgical procedures can restore blood flow to the heart muscle.

Cardiac Condition

Heart Failure

Heart failure — sometimes called congestive heart failure — occurs when your heart muscle doesn’t pump blood as efficiently as it should. This doesn’t mean your heart has stopped beating; rather, the heart is not meeting the body’s demands for blood and oxygen. Conditions such as narrowed coronary arteries or high blood pressure gradually leave the heart too weak or too stiff to fill and pump properly, leading to fluid buildup and fatigue.

Treatment Options

Lifestyle Changes & Medications

First-Line

The cornerstone of heart failure management involves lifestyle modifications combined with a tailored medication regimen to reduce symptoms, slow progression, and protect the heart.

Devices & Advanced Therapies

Advanced

For patients with severe or refractory heart failure, advanced device-based therapies or surgical interventions may be necessary to restore cardiac function.

Cardiac Condition

Lipid Disorders

Lipid disorders (also known as dyslipidemia or hyperlipidemia) refer to abnormal levels of lipids — including cholesterol and triglycerides — in the bloodstream. These conditions significantly increase the risk of atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and stroke. While genetics play a role, lifestyle factors such as diet, weight, and physical activity are major contributors to lipid imbalances.

Treatment Options

Lifestyle Modifications

First-Line

For many patients, meaningful lifestyle changes can significantly improve lipid profiles and reduce cardiovascular risk without medication.

Lipid-Lowering Medications

Medical

When lifestyle changes alone are insufficient — particularly in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia or high cardiovascular risk — pharmacological therapy is essential.

Know Your Numbers

High cholesterol has no symptoms. Regular screening and expert guidance can prevent serious cardiac events.
