She was so helpful. Explained my condition to me so that I clearly understood and gave me steps to follow. She was a great teacher. I am so glad Dr. Berger sent me to see her.
Frequently Asked Questions About The Cardiovascular Center of Florida
What can I do to stay heart-healthy and reduce my risk of heart issues?
To stay heart-healthy, eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, manage stress, quit smoking, limit alcohol, and get quality sleep. Take medications as prescribed and attend follow-up care. Small changes can lead to a healthier, longer life!
What causes high blood pressure and how can I reduce it?
High blood pressure can result from an unhealthy diet, inactivity, obesity, genetics, or underlying conditions like diabetes or kidney disease. It often has no symptoms, so regular monitoring is key. Lifestyle changes and medications can help lower it, and our doctors can create a personalized treatment plan.
What causes heart arrhythmias and are they dangerous?
Heart arrhythmias happen when the heart’s electrical signals are disrupted, caused by factors like heart disease, high blood pressure, caffeine, stress, or thyroid issues. While some are harmless, others can lead to serious risks like stroke or cardiac arrest. Treatments are available.
What are the symptoms of a heart attack?
Heart attack symptoms include chest pain or pressure, pain radiating to the neck, jaw, shoulders, arms, or back, shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, sweating, abdominal pain, irregular heartbeat, and fatigue that may occur days before the event. If you suspect a heart attack, call 911 immediately.
What tests will I need to diagnose my heart condition?
Common diagnostic tests include an EKG, echocardiogram, stress test, CT scan, or cardiac catheterization. The SWCVA team will recommend the appropriate tests based on your symptoms and medical history.
What are peripheral vascular conditions?
Peripheral vascular conditions affect blood vessels outside the heart and brain, such as peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), and pelvic congestive syndrome. These conditions can cause pain, swelling, and poor circulation. At SWCVA, we diagnose and treat these issues to improve your quality of life.
Do I need an appointment or a referral for an Immediate Heart Care visit?
We do accept walk-in patients for immediate cardiovascular care during our operating hours. However, calling for a same-day appointment and completing our online check-in prior to the visit is advised and will expedite your visit. Some insurance plans may require a referral from your primary physician.
What can I expect during the visit?
"After checking in, you will be promptly escorted to a room by a team member. We will obtain vital signs, record an EKG, and ask initial questions. You will be evaluated and treated by our highly trained Advanced Practice Providers and one of our Cardiologists.
We may advise specialized testing such as blood tests, ultrasound, rhythm monitor, CT scan, or stress test as needed. Almost all testing can be completed in our offices and on the same day if needed. Depending on the results, we may advise medications or treatments. By timely diagnosis and outpatient treatment, you may avoid hospital admission or worsening of your condition.
We will share the results as well as the treatment plan with your Primary Care Provider and medical team to provide you with the best treatment."
What should I bring with me to my Immediate Heart Care visit?
Please bring your insurance card, a list of your current medications, and any relevant medical records.
How much will a visit cost?
The cost will depend on your insurance coverage and the services provided. Generally, an Immediate Heart Care visit is significantly less expensive than an ER visit.
Can your Immediate Heart Care clinics provide surgical clearance?
Yes, our clinics can provide immediate surgical clearance for patients with cardiovascular problems, abnormal preoperative ECGs, or if advised by their physicians. We will work with you and your primary care provider, as well as the surgical team, to coordinate care and testing to minimize the need to cancel or delay surgery.
