Conditions

Atrial fibrillation is an irregular rhythm that may cause palpitations or no symptoms. Treatment addresses stroke risk, symptoms, and heart health.

Carotid artery disease often causes no warning until a TIA or stroke. Evaluation helps define severity and the safest prevention plan.

Chest discomfort can come from the heart, lungs, esophagus, muscles, or nerves. New or severe symptoms require emergency evaluation.

Heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped. It means the heart cannot fill or pump well enough to meet the body’s needs.

Coronary artery disease can cause chest pressure, shortness of breath, or no symptoms at all. Learn how it is evaluated and treated.

Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg. Prompt diagnosis helps prevent clot extension and pulmonary embolism.

Fainting can be harmless, but it can also signal a heart-rhythm or structural problem. The circumstances around an episode guide testing.

A heart attack is an emergency. Learn the warning signs, when to call 911, and what follow-up care may involve after hospital treatment.

Valve narrowing or leakage can make the heart work harder. Echocardiography helps define severity and the right timing for treatment.

High cholesterol is silent, but it contributes to plaque in heart, brain, and leg arteries. Treatment should match a person’s total risk.

High blood pressure is usually silent. Accurate home and office readings help confirm the problem and guide treatment.

One swollen leg and two swollen legs suggest different possibilities. A focused evaluation can identify venous, cardiac, medication, and lymphatic causes.

May-Thurner syndrome is compression of a pelvic vein that becomes clinically important when it causes swelling, pain, or DVT.

Palpitations describe what a heartbeat feels like. A monitor can help determine whether the cause is benign extra beats or a meaningful arrhythmia.

POTS is a form of orthostatic intolerance that causes excessive heart-rate rise and symptoms while upright without another sufficient explanation.

Pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. Call 911 for sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, coughing blood, or fainting.

Varicose veins form when vein valves fail and blood pools under pressure. Symptoms can include aching, heaviness, swelling, itching, and skin change.

A wound cannot heal well without adequate blood flow and pressure control. Arterial, venous, neuropathic, and infectious causes require different care.
