Arrhythmia
At the office of Cory A. Waldman, MD, we treat a variety of heart conditions, including arrhythmia.
These are changes in the body’s electrical impulses that affect the way the heart beats, causing the heart to no longer function as it should. Many patients with arrhythmia often don’t experience any symptoms, but it can be indicative of a serious underlying problem such as coronary artery disease or heart muscle deterioration. Arrhythmia can also occur as a result of a heart attack or recent cardiac surgery.
We recommend regular examinations to best ensure the health of your heart. Our team will work with you to ensure an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
Physical Exam
Here at the office of Cory A. Waldman, MD, we recommend annual physical exams to ensure that your body is in optimal health and working as it should. This exam offers a great opportunity to discuss any concerns you may be experiencing, and allows your doctor to check for any emerging issues so they can be addressed quickly.
Physical exams are also often needed when applying for jobs, for insurance policies, to participate in team sports, and when travelling outside of the country. Your doctor will provide a comprehensive examination, order any necessary tests, and answer any questions you may have about your care. If you are in need of vaccinations, those can be taken care of at this time.
Preoperative Clearance
If you have been told you are in need of surgery, you will need to schedule a pre-operative clearance appointment before you can schedule your surgery.
The purpose of this appointment is to ensure that you are in good enough health to undergo the procedure and to answer any questions you may have prior to the operation. At this time you will also be given pre and post-operative instructions and will be encouraged to make transportation arrangements for the day of surgery.
Stress Testing
At the office of Cory A. Waldman, MD, we are proud to provide stress testing services to our patients. Stress testing is important to knowing how well the heart is functioning. This test is most frequently performed on a treadmill using an EKG machine to monitor your heart performance when you are active.
Prior to your appointment, you should get a good night’s rest and be sure to avoid caffeine and other stimulants before your test. We ask that you wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing to your appointment, as well as comfortable tennis shoes.
Heart Disease
One of your most vital vital-organs is your heart. Without it, the oxygen brought in by your lungs would not be carried to other organs, like your brain. Your body would have a challenging time fighting off infections and viruses because your blood is also responsible for delivering white blood cells where they are needed.
Since the cardiovascular system encompasses so much, problems and diseases that affect cardiovascular health can stem from several factors. Some conditions are genetic or congenital, meaning they’ve been present from birth, while other diseases are the result of lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, smoking, and birth control. Additional conditions emerge from injury, infection, or other diseases in the body such as diabetes, hypertension, high blood cholesterol, and many others.
Lab Testing
We are proud to offer laboratory services with on-site testing using state-of-the-art technology so that you and your doctor can get your results as quickly as possible.
We can offer not only simple diagnostic tests but more complex ones, too. Once you’ve been diagnosed, we can start treatment so you can begin to feel better sooner. We can have certain test results in just a few minutes instead of having to wait to get the results from another laboratory.
The sooner we find out the results, the sooner we can begin treatment, and this can make a huge difference.
Concierge Care
Here at the office of Cory A. Waldman, MD, we are proud to provide concierge care to our patients, allowing them to experience a more personalized, enhanced experience to healthcare.
