What We Offer
Heart care that fits your situation.
We use small catheters and imaging to open blocked arteries, place stents, and repair heart structures without major surgery. Most patients go home the same day or the next.
Heart disease often starts years before symptoms appear. We identify your risk factors early and build a plan around lifestyle changes, medications, and regular monitoring.
Blocked or narrowed arteries limit blood flow to your heart muscle. We diagnose the problem with imaging and treat it with medications, stents, or surgical referrals when needed.
Irregular heartbeats can feel alarming. We pinpoint the cause with ECG and monitoring devices, then manage it with medications or device implants like pacemakers.
Heart valves can leak or stiffen over time. We track valve function with echocardiography and coordinate treatment, from medication to surgical valve repair or replacement.
Echocardiograms, nuclear scans, and stress tests show us how your heart is working in real time. These images guide every treatment decision we make.

Diagnostic Tools
How We See Your Heart
Good treatment starts with good information. These tools help us understand exactly what your heart needs.
Cardiac Catheterization
A thin tube goes through a blood vessel to your heart. We can see blockages and fix them on the spot.
Echocardiography
Ultrasound shows your heart pumping in real time. No radiation, no needles.
Nuclear Imaging
A small amount of tracer shows blood flow through your heart muscle. Helps find hidden problems.
Stress Testing
Walking on a treadmill while we monitor your heart. Reveals issues that only show up during exercise.
Our Approach
How We Work
Heart problems can be scary. We get that. So we spend time explaining what's going on, what your options are, and what we recommend. No jargon, no rush.
Our office uses modern imaging and diagnostic equipment. Most tests happen on-site so you don't have to drive across town. And if you need a procedure, Dr. Vahdat can often do it the same week at one of our partner hospitals.
* Same-day appointments available for urgent concerns.
