At New York Medicine Doctors, our team can help diagnose and treat some of the most common heart-based conditions, which can help to extend your life!

• Limit your intake of sodium and unhealthy fats.
• Quit smoking.
• Increase your fiber intake.
• Exercise regularly.
• Manage your weight.
• Monitor your heart rate.
• Control cholesterol and blood pressure.
• Manage stress.

What You Should Know About Heart Health:

At New York Medicine Doctors, our team is focused on providing state of the art testing so we can hone in on exactly what is causing your heart problems.  These tests go a long way in creating the treatment regimen that will offer the most beneficial outcome. Examples of what will be performed depending on your symptoms include the below:

• Ambulatory ECG.
• Exercise or stress test.
• Echocardiogram.
• Cardiac catheterization.

Yearly checkups and screens can go a long way in monitoring your overall health levels.  However, don’t feel as if you can’t make an appointment before a year has passed since the last one.  If you begin to deal with any of the below, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team:

• Shortness of breath.
• Dizziness.
• Chest pain.
• High blood pressure.
• Changes in your heart rhythm.
