General Practitioners

• Primary Care
  Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight while also lowering your cholesterol and blood pressure. Engage in moderate intensity exercise for at least 30 minutes each day (note: Before you begin a new exercise program, consult your primary care physician).
• Emergency Care
• Electrocardiogram
  At Advanced Heart and Vascular Institute, your cardiologist may use an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, or electrophysiology study (EPS) to diagnose your dysrhythmia. (Remember, you can learn more about these procedures here.) Treatments for arrhythmia may include medication and/or pacemaker implantation.

Gynecologists

• Pregnancy

Internists

• Internal Medicine
  First and foremost, your cardiologist should be board certified. In order to be board eligible, your cardiologist had to complete undergraduate school and medical school, pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination, and complete a residency (usually of three years). At this point, the physician may take the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) exam. If the physician passes the exam, he/she is “board certified” in internal medicine, but not yet a cardiologist.

Psychiatrists

• Behavioral Health

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Thyroid
  Cardiomyopathy is a leading cause of heart failure, which affects approximately half a million Americans every year. There are three types of cardiomyopathy: dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). While cardiomyopathy may be present at birth, it is not uncommon for adults to develop this disease as a result of high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disease, infection, drug abuse, or other health conditions/lifestyle choices.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  The primary screening method for PAD is the Ankle-Brachial Index Test (also known as an ABI test ) – a type of pulse volume recording.During an ABI test, blood pressure cuffs are placed on the arms and legs. The test administrator uses a small handheld ultrasound device to monitor blood pressure and flow. Differences in blood pressure readings (between the arms and legs) may indicate arterial blockage in the legs. Sometimes, this test is performed both at rest and immediately after exercise.
• Radiology
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
• Computed Tomography
  The cardiology team at Advanced Heart and Vascular Institute includes board certified and fellowship trained cardiologists, specializing in Nuclear Cardiology, Cardiovascular Medicine, Cardiovascular Disease, Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, Interventional Cardiology, and more. The following conditions may be treated at Advanced Heart and Vascular Institute. (This list is not comprehensive.) Click on a condition to learn more.

Dermatologists

• Ulcer
  Venous stasis ulcers usually develop below the knee, especially on the inner part of the leg just above the ankle. About 80 to 80 percent of all leg ulcers are venous stasis ulcers. The base of the ulcer is usually red; it may have a yellow fibrous tissue covering it. Fluid drainage is normal. Discharge is possible if the ulcer is infected. The border of a venous stasis ulcer is often irregularly shaped, causing the surrounding skin to become discolored, swollen, shiny, tight, and warm or hot. These ulcers are common in patients with varicose veins.
