A cardiac catheterization is a procedure that allows a cardiologist to look more closely at the arteries of the heart and how blood is flowing.

A thin tube called a catheter is guided through a blood vessel, often from the wrist or groin, toward the heart. Contrast dye may be used to help visualize the coronary arteries.

Cardiac catheterization may be recommended after abnormal testing, concerning symptoms, suspected blocked arteries, or certain hospital presentations.

It can help answer an important question: Is there a significant blockage affecting blood flow to the heart?

At South Florida Heart & Vascular, our interventional cardiology expertise allows us to guide patients from evaluation to advanced hospital-based care when needed.

Stress does not just affect how you feel — it can affect your body too.

Stress may contribute to elevated blood pressure, poor sleep, unhealthy eating patterns, reduced activity, missed medications, and increased strain on the cardiovascular system.

Stress management is not a replacement for medical treatment, but it can be an important part of prevention.

Healthy coping strategies may include walking, deep breathing, sleep routines, social support, counseling, and consistent medical follow-up.

At South Florida Heart & Vascular, we help patients look at lifestyle and medical factors together.

Have you noticed you cannot walk as far, climb stairs as easily, or exercise like you used to?

That change is called exercise intolerance — and it can have many causes.

Sometimes it is related to deconditioning, lung issues, anemia, medications, or weight changes. But it can also be connected to heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, valve disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, or abnormal heart rhythms.

If you are getting winded faster than before, especially if symptoms are new or worsening, a cardiology evaluation may help identify the cause.

Testing may include an EKG, echocardiogram, stress test, rhythm monitor, or other evaluation depending on your symptoms.

Your body gives clues. We help you understand them.

Palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or an irregular heartbeat may not happen during a routine office visit.

That is why heart rhythm monitoring can be so helpful.

But not all monitors are the same.

Holter Monitor
A Holter monitor is usually worn for a short period of time and records your heart rhythm continuously while you go about normal activities. It can be helpful when symptoms happen frequently.

Extended Monitor / Event Monitor
These monitors are worn for a longer period and may be useful when symptoms happen less often. Some devices record continuously, while others capture rhythm changes when symptoms occur or when the device detects an abnormal rhythm.

MCT / Mobile Cardiac Telemetry
Mobile cardiac telemetry provides longer monitoring and can transmit certain rhythm information in near real time. It may be recommended when a provider wants closer rhythm surveillance over days to weeks.

Implantable Loop Recorder
A loop recorder is a small device placed under the skin to monitor heart rhythm over a much longer period of time. It may be considered when symptoms are infrequent, unexplained, or difficult to capture with external monitors.

So which one is right?

It depends on the symptom.

If palpitations happen every day, a shorter monitor may be enough. If symptoms happen once every few weeks or months, longer monitoring may be needed. If fainting or unexplained episodes are rare, a loop recorder may help capture information that other tests miss.

At South Florida Heart & Vascular, we help patients choose the right rhythm monitoring approach based on symptoms, frequency, risk factors, and clinical history.

Your rhythm tells a story. The right monitor helps us hear it.

Florida heat gets blamed for a lot… but persistent leg swelling deserves a closer look.

Swelling in the legs or ankles can happen for many reasons, including heat, prolonged standing, venous disease, medications, fluid retention, kidney issues, or heart-related causes.

If swelling is new, worsening, one-sided, painful, associated with shortness of breath, or not improving, it is worth discussing with a medical professional.

South Florida Heart & Vascular evaluates leg swelling, venous reflux, circulation concerns, and possible cardiovascular causes of symptoms.

Chest pain that comes and goes can be confusing.

Some patients ignore it because it goes away. Others assume it is heartburn, stress, muscle pain, or anxiety.

Sometimes it may be one of those things — but sometimes chest discomfort can be a warning sign of a heart problem.

Chest discomfort should be taken seriously if it feels like:

• Pressure
• Tightness
• Heaviness
• Burning
• Squeezing
• Pain that spreads to the arm, jaw, neck, back, or shoulder
• Symptoms triggered by activity or relieved by rest

Seek emergency care right away if chest pain is severe, sudden, or occurs with shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, dizziness, fainting, or stroke-like symptoms.

For recurring, unexplained, or exertional chest discomfort, a cardiology evaluation can help determine whether additional testing is needed.

When it comes to chest pain, it is always better to be safe.

South Florida Heart & Vascular provides evaluation for chest discomfort, risk factors, and heart-related symptoms.

Patients often ask: “Do I need a stress test or an echocardiogram?”
The answer depends on what question we are trying to answer.
A stress test evaluates how your heart performs under demand. It may help assess symptoms such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, abnormal EKG findings, or concern for reduced blood flow to the heart.
An echocardiogram, also called a TTE, is an ultrasound of the heart. It helps evaluate heart structure and function, including pumping strength, heart valves, chamber size, wall motion, and certain structural heart conditions.
In simple terms:
A stress test asks:�“How does the heart perform under stress?”
An echocardiogram asks:�“What does the heart look like and how well is it functioning?”
Sometimes a patient may need one test. Sometimes both are helpful. Sometimes a different test is more appropriate.
The right test depends on symptoms, risk factors, exam findings, EKG results, medical history, and the clinical question.
At South Florida Heart & Vascular, we focus on choosing the right test for the right reason — and helping patients understand each step of their care.

Feeling tired is common — but unexplained or worsening fatigue should not always be brushed off.

Fatigue may be heart-related when it is new, getting worse, happening with activity, or associated with shortness of breath, chest discomfort, dizziness, palpitations, swelling, or reduced exercise tolerance.

The heart’s job is to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the body. When the heart is under strain, rhythm is abnormal, blood flow is reduced, or fluid is building up, fatigue can sometimes be one of the warning signs.

At South Florida Heart & Vascular, we help patients look at the full picture — symptoms, risk factors, EKG, imaging, stress testing, rhythm monitoring, and labs when appropriate.

Don’t ignore a major change in how you feel.

A heart murmur is an extra sound heard when listening to the heart.

Sometimes murmurs are harmless. Other times, they may be related to heart valve disease, changes in blood flow, structural heart conditions, or other cardiovascular issues.

If a murmur is detected, your provider may recommend an echocardiogram, also called a TTE. This ultrasound of the heart helps evaluate valve function, chamber size, pumping strength, and overall heart structure.

The goal is not to assume the worst — it is to understand what is causing the murmur.

At South Florida Heart & Vascular, we help patients move from “I was told I have a murmur” to a clearer understanding of what it means and what to do next.

Family history is an important part of cardiovascular risk.

You may benefit from preventive evaluation if a parent, sibling, or close relative had heart attack, stents, bypass surgery, stroke, sudden cardiac death, or early heart disease.

Family history does not mean heart disease is guaranteed, but it can change how we think about prevention.

Screening may include cholesterol testing, blood pressure evaluation, diabetes risk review, lifestyle counseling, EKG, imaging, or other testing when appropriate.

Prevention starts with knowing your risk.

At South Florida Heart & Vascular, we help patients turn family history into a proactive heart health plan.
