What Is Heart Disease?
Heart Disease (Cardiovascular Disease) involves blocked or narrowed blood vessels that may lead to a heart attack, chest pain, stroke, and infections.
Heart rhythm problems (cardiac arrhythmias) occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate your heartbeats don’t function properly, causing your heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly.
These fluttering or racing heart issues may be harmless, however, some heart arrhythmias may be dangerous or life-threatening. Heart arrhythmia treatment can often control or eliminate fast or irregular heartbeats, and can be prevented in many cases through healthy lifestyle choices and reduced stress.
Types of Heart Disease:
- Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmias)
- Congenital heart defects
- Weak heart muscles (cardiomyopathy)
- Heart valve problems
- Heart infections
- Cardiovascular disease
- With healthy lifestyle choices, certain types of heart disease can be prevented, treated, and improved.

Diagnosis
At VeinGuard Heart & Vascular Center, we use a variety of tests to produce different types of information of the heart. This will give your doctor important information about your risk for cardiac disease. Our testing facilities are accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories (ICANL), and the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL).
After going through the diagnostic evaluations, we will customize the right treatment specifically for you depending on the severity of your condition.
