About Heart Problem

A cardiologist addresses heart problems through a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach tailored to the specific condition. This begins with a detailed evaluation including physical exam, medical history review, and advanced tests like ECG, echocardiogram, or cardiac catheterization. Based on the diagnosis, which may range from coronary artery disease and arrhythmias to heart failure or valve disorders, the cardiologist develops a personalized management plan. Treatment can involve lifestyle modifications, medication management, minimally invasive procedures like angioplasty or ablation, or surgical interventions. The primary goal is to restore optimal heart function, alleviate symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, prevent complications such as heart attack or stroke, and significantly improve the patient's quality of life and long-term cardiovascular health.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been feeling off for months,...

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
