Chronic Heart & Vascular Disease Management
Lifelong care to help you live better, longer, and stronger with heart disease. At ACC, we don’t just treat heart problems when they flare up—we partner with you for the long haul. Our goal is to keep you feeling good at home, doing the things you love, with fewer trips to the hospital.
-
An irregular and often rapid heart rhythm originating in the upper chambers (atria) of the heart. It can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other complications.
We offer:Simple in-office checks and wearable monitors to track your rhythm
Medications or procedures (like cardioversion or referral for ablation if needed) to get your heartbeat back in rhythm
Blood thinners when needed—explained clearly so you feel confident and safe
-
Discomfort or pain in the chest, often due to reduced blood flow to the heart (angina) or other causes; it can signal serious conditions like a heart attack.
We evaluate causes promptly with tests (ECG, stress tests), manage underlying issues (e.g., angina with medications ± stents), and provide urgent care for acute events.
-
A chronic condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively to meet the body's needs either because the heart is too weak or stiff), leading to fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid buildup.
We investigate & uncover the exact mechanism of your heart failure
We use guideline-directed medications & interventions if needed)
We connect you with the right specialist for device therapy (ICD/pacemakers) if needed
We focus on lifestyle education, and fluid/salt monitoring.
We start work-up for advanced heart failure therapy early and connect you with some of the best centers in the region for LVAD and heart transplant
-
A condition where plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries, narrowing or blocking them and reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. This can lead to chest pain, heart attacks, or other complications
This is the most common type of heart disease. We work with you to:Open or keep arteries clear (with medications, stents, or bypass surgery when needed)
Lower your risk of heart attack using proven medicines, diet, and exercise plans
Catch warning signs early so small problems don’t turn into big ones
-
Abnormal levels of lipids (fats) in the blood, typically high LDL ("bad") cholesterol or triglycerides, and/or low HDL ("good") cholesterol, contributing to plaque buildup in arteries.
We treat with statin and other lipid-lowering drugs if needed,
Offer lifestyle interventions (healthy diet, exercise),
Regular cholesterol checks.
-
Swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body's tissues, commonly in the legs, ankles, and feet, often due to heart, kidney, or vein issues.
We offer various diagnostic and therapeutic options to address root causes like heart failure or venous issues.
We treat with diuretics, compression therapy, elevation, salt restriction, ± tenting or ablation
-
A condition where the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other issues.
We address lifestyle modifications (low-salt diet, exercise)
Prescribed effective medications
Offer regular blood pressure monitoring, and addressing underlying causes.
-
Surviving a heart attack is a big win—but the months and years afterward are just as important. Our program includes:
One-on-one education so you understand exactly what happened and how to prevent another one
Tailored exercise and nutrition guidance (we make it simple and doable)
Emotional support because a heart attack can be scary—we’re here to listen
Careful medication adjustments and regular check-ups to help your heart heal and stay strong
-
Narrowing or blockage of arteries in the limbs (usually legs) due to plaque buildup, reducing blood flow and causing pain, especially during walking.
We encourage supervised exercise (walking programs),
Assist with smoking cessation,
Prescribed antiplatelet therapy, statins, and
Offer revascularization procedures for severe cases not amenable to medical and lifestyle interventions
-
High blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, making the heart work harder to pump blood through them, which can lead to heart failure.
We offer various diagnostic options to appropriately categorize the type of PH you have
We manage with specific vasodilators, oxygen therapy, diuretics for symptoms, and
We coordinate for advanced treatments like prostacyclin analogs under specialist care.
-
A sensation of difficulty breathing or not getting enough air, often a symptom of heart or lung problems.
We investigate underlying heart/lung issues (ECG, Echo, Stress test, CPET),
Optimize treatments, and
Improve symptom control through medications and lifestyle adjustments.
-
A condition affecting one or more of the heart's valves, causing them to be narrowed (stenosis) or leaky (regurgitation), which disrupts normal blood flow through the heart.
Your heart has four valves that open and close with every beat. When they don’t work right, you can feel short of breath or exhausted. We provide:Regular ultrasound checks (echocardiograms) in our office
The latest medications to ease symptoms and protect your heart
Close coordination with surgeons and structural interventional cardiologists if valve repair or replacement (including minimally invasive TAVR) ever becomes the best option
