Comprehensive General Cardiology Services
Our clinic focuses on treating a wide array of cardiovascular diseases, as well as heart-related issues stemming from rheumatologic conditions. For those with pre-existing heart conditions, our expert team, under Dr. S. A. Merchant’s leadership, designs custom treatment pathways to provide effective care.
Patients often come to us after heart screenings or experiencing symptoms like chest pain, breathlessness, or palpitations. Often referred by their rheumatologists, these individuals are directed to our cardio-rheumatology program for a complete diagnostic evaluation aimed at identifying the cause of their symptoms.
At Save Heart Failure, we prioritize accurate diagnosis through a variety of precise, minimally invasive tests. These procedures include:
- Thorough medical history assessment
- Blood work to detect potential issues
- Electrocardiogram (EKG) for heart rhythm analysis
- Echocardiography and Stress Testing to assess heart function
- Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which reveals heart inflammation
- Computed Tomography (CT) for detailed imaging
In cases where patients have rheumatologic diseases that affect their heart health, we offer specialized diagnostic options. For example, patients who are unable to use a treadmill for stress testing may be provided with alternative tests, like a supine bicycle test.
Preventing the advancement of heart disease is a crucial aspect of our approach at Save Heart Failure. We believe in proactively addressing the risks of heart disease by offering patients tailored prevention strategies. These may include lifestyle interventions such as exercise, dietary recommendations, and other health-conscious activities designed to support heart health.
Dr. S. A. Merchant and the team emphasize individualized treatment plans that take into account each patient’s specific needs. Recognizing that some patients may experience physical limitations or discomfort due to joint problems, we adjust treatment options, such as providing modified cardiac exercises that meet their physical capabilities.
At Save Heart Failure, we are committed to offering the highest level of care, providing effective diagnosis and treatment strategies to those managing cardiovascular diseases. Dr. S. A. Merchant’s expertise ensures that every patient receives the most suitable care plan for their heart health journey.
