General Cardiovascular Diseases 

Start With Answers About Your Heart

You may be seeking care after an abnormal test, a new diagnosis, or a change in how you feel. Dr. Afflu reviews your concerns and medical history to determine which next steps are appropriate for you.

An evaluation may include discussion of chest discomfort, palpitations, breathlessness, blood pressure, cholesterol, or a family history of cardiovascular disease.

​​​

Testing Guided by Your Needs

An EKG records the heart’s electrical activity. An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to examine heart structure and function. Stress testing evaluates how the heart responds to exertion or medication-induced stress.

Testing is selected according to your symptoms and clinical findings. Ask which tests are recommended, where they will be performed, and how to prepare.

​

A Plan Beyond the Test Results

Your care plan may include medication review, discussion of lifestyle changes, and follow-up to reassess your symptoms and cardiovascular risk. The aim is to help you understand what to do next and why it matters.
