Dr. Weiner and our team frequently treat Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), which involves blockages in leg arteries. We manage risk factors and perform procedures like angiography and stenting to improve blood flow and relieve symptoms like leg pain.

What does a heart failure diagnosis mean?

A heart failure diagnosis means your heart isn't pumping as efficiently as it should. However, it doesn't mean your heart has stopped. We'll work together to manage the condition through lifestyle changes and medications to improve your heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance your quality of life.

I have a family history of heart disease. How can I be proactive?

We commend your proactive approach. A preventive cardiology consultation with Dr. Weiner involves a thorough risk assessment, potentially advanced lipid testing, and a personalized plan for diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes to minimize your risk of future heart disease.

What is a stent and why would I need one?

A stent is a tiny, expandable mesh tube placed inside a narrowed or blocked coronary artery to prop the artery open, restoring blood flow to the heart muscle and relieving symptoms like chest pain.

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how your heart performs during physical activity. It involves walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike while connected to an EKG machine. This helps diagnose coronary artery disease and assess heart function under strain.
