Lipid Clinic
HeartSafe's Lipid Clinic provides screening and monitoring services for patients at risk for arteriosclerosis. At regular intervals, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride levels are monitored and entered into our database. Our staff scans these levels for any changes that may indicate the need for a change in diet, lifestyle, or treatment.


Hypertension
HeartSafe provides monitoring and screening for patients with hypertension (high blood pressure). As part of a clinical exam, HeartSafe monitors the effectiveness of medical treatment (such as diuretics) and tracks blood pressure, one of the most important measures of cardiovascular health.

Anticoagulant Monitoring
For patients taking anticoagulants such as Coumadin or Decumerol, frequent blood testing is required. HeartSafe provides computer based patient tracking as well as fast and convenient testing right here in our office.

Antiarrhythmic Drug Monitoring
Medications to control irregular heart rhythms must be administered precisely and monitored frequently to ensure safety and achieve desired results. HeartSafe maintains a computerized database to accomplish this.

Valvular Heart Disease MonitoringFollow-up Cardiac Care
Many patients have a heart murmur, caused by a leaky or blocked valve. Close monitoring of this condition by clinical evaluation and echocardiography (ultrasound), can mean the difference between timely, effective treatment, and compromised heart function. At HeartSafe, regular follow-up and computerized tracking of these patients assures appropriate intervention.

Pacemaker Follow-up Clinic
Today's sophisticated cardiac pacemakers provide functionality that closely mimics the operation of a normal heart. In-clinic pacemaker follow-up allows the non-invasive adjustment of pacemaker parameters. This maintains efficient settings that maximize safety and battery life, while guaranteeing functionality for individual lifestyles and allowing treatment in a local clinic.

ICD Follow-up Clinic
Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs) have saved many lives and provided peace of mind for patients at risk of cardiac sudden death. HeartSafe provides a local clinic for the regular and post-event interrogation of these devices.
