About Integrated Medicine

Integrated Medicine in Cardiology is a holistic, patient-centered approach that combines conventional cardiology treatments with evidence-based complementary therapies to manage and prevent heart disease. A cardiologist practicing integrated medicine creates a personalized plan that may include medications, lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise, stress management), and adjunctive therapies like nutritional supplements, mind-body techniques (e.g., meditation, yoga), or acupuncture. This comprehensive strategy aims not only to treat specific conditions like hypertension, heart failure, or coronary artery disease but also to address underlying factors such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and psychological well-being. It empowers patients to take an active role in their heart health, focusing on long-term wellness and improved quality of life beyond just symptom management.

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.
