Take Care of Your Heart—Before Problems Arise
Many patients only think about their heart when symptoms appear, but cardiovascular care should begin long before that. Our goal is to help you understand your heart’s current condition and guide you toward healthier habits that reduce your risk of disease.
We offer a proactive approach that includes:
Diagnostic testing to assess heart function
Education on lifestyle changes and risk factors
Ongoing monitoring for patients with existing heart conditions
Coordination with specialists when advanced care is needed
Whether you’re experiencing symptoms or simply want peace of mind, our team is here to support your heart health journey.
Echocardiogram Testing for Heart Function
One of the most valuable tools in cardiac diagnostics is the echocardiogram. This noninvasive test uses ultrasound waves to create images of your heart in motion. It allows us to evaluate:
Heart chamber size and structure
Valve function
Blood flow and pumping efficiency
Signs of heart disease or damage
Echocardiograms are used both for initial diagnosis and for monitoring patients with known heart conditions. If you’ve been diagnosed with hypertension, arrhythmia, or heart failure, this test helps us track your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
EKG Testing for Electrical Activity
Another essential test we offer is the electrocardiogram (EKG). This test records the electrical signals that control your heartbeat and helps us detect:
Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
Signs of previous heart attacks
Abnormal heart rate or conduction
Early indicators of heart disease
EKGs are quick, painless, and highly informative. If you’re experiencing chest pain, dizziness, or palpitations, this test can provide critical insights into your heart’s electrical function.
Lifestyle Guidance for Heart Health
Testing is just the beginning. At Patient Choice Medical Care, we believe that education and support are key to long-term cardiovascular wellness. After your evaluation, we’ll provide personalized recommendations to help you improve your heart health, including:
Cholesterol Management: Tips on lowering LDL and increasing HDL through diet and medication.
Nutrition Counseling: Heart-healthy foods that reduce inflammation and support circulation.
Blood Pressure Control: Strategies for managing hypertension through lifestyle and medication.
Exercise Planning: Safe and effective activities to strengthen your heart and improve endurance.
Even if we identify areas of concern, it’s never too late to make positive changes. Our team is here to guide you with compassion and expertise.
Ongoing Support and Specialist Collaboration
If your test results indicate the need for specialized care, we’ll coordinate referrals to trusted cardiologists and other experts in the area. Our use of EPIC Electronic Health Records ensures seamless communication between providers, and MyChart allows you to stay informed and engaged in your care.

We also offer follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust your care plan as needed. Heart health is a lifelong journey, and we’re committed to walking it with you.
