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 Monitoring
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.
