How Is Coronary Heart Disease Diagnosed?

Consultation

A cardiologist consultation is typically requested by your primary physician when he or she determines that you may have a heart or related illness. This may also include situations where you or your regular physician suggests you have a second opinion.

A cardiologist is a doctor that specializes in finding, treating and preventing diseases of the heart and blood vessels. The initial consultation often involves a physical examination, a review of patient records and medical history, and possible diagnostic testing. Your cardiologist will help you understand the risks and prevention of heart disease.

Advanced Lipid Testing

Dr. Radwaner is a well known and highly respected clinical lipid specialist in New York, founding member of the Northeast Lipid Association and the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography and works with one of the most advanced cholesterol laboratories in the world, Boston Heart Diagnostics in Massachusetts. Under the medical direction of Dr. Ernie Schaeffer, a world famous cholesterol researcher at Tufts University, Boston Heart Diagnostic Labs has become a leader in cholesterol testing, diabetes testing and preventive cardiology biomarkers. Dr. Radwaner and· Boston Heart Diagnostic Labs share a commitment to the prevention of cardiovascular disease through advanced testing and patient education.

Combination Therapy

Dr. Radwaner has over two decades of experience in utilizing diet modification, exercise and combination lipid therapy to prevent heart attacks and strokes. In the vast majority of patients, stents and coronary bypass surgery are no longer necessary. Aggressive medical therapy utilizing safe, proven combinations of medications, when combined with the lifestyle changes of weight loss, healthy eating and exercise, have reduced the chances of a heart attack by over 90%. Dramatic reductions have also been seen in the incidence of strokes, when combination medication therapy is combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

Coronary Angioplasty/Stenting

The arteries of the heart (the coronary arteries) can become narrowed and blocked due to buildup of plaque on their inner walls. This narrowing reduces the flow of blood through the artery and over time can result in coronary artery disease and heart attack. Angioplasty may improve symptoms of coronary artery disease, such as angina or shortness of breath.

Angioplasty and stent placement procedures are used to open one or more clogged or narrowed heart arteries and improve blood flow to the heart muscle. Angioplasty involves inserting and expanding a small balloon where your artery is clogged to help widen the artery. Once the artery is opened, a small stent is used to support the artery.

The goal of angioplasty is to restore adequate blood flow through the affected part of the body. The procedure may be suggested by a physician to relieve angina, stop a heart attack, or improve heart function.
