• Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis is the hardening and narrowing of your arteries due to a buildup of fats, cholesterol, and other substances.
• Prinzmetal Angina: Prinzmetal angina is a type of chest pain caused by temporary spasms in the coronary arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart.

• Third Degree Heart Block: This condition, called complete heart block, disrupts the normal electrical pathway in your heart, causing the ventricles to beat at their own slow rate.
• Long QT Syndrome: Long QT syndrome is a heart condition that can cause irregular heartbeats, potentially leading to fainting or seizures.
• Atrial Fibrillation: Atrial fibrillation is a type of heart rhythm disorder characterized by a quivering or irregular heartbeat in the atria (upper chambers of the heart).

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. David Williams:

What is a Cardiologist?

Dr. Williams and our team of cardiologists are medical doctors specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart and blood vessel diseases. We have extensive expertise in conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and high blood pressure.

What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. David Williams?

Your first visit with Dr. Williams will involve a detailed review of your symptoms, risk factors, and family history, followed by a physical exam. An electrocardiogram (EKG) is usually performed, and further testing, such as an echocardiogram or stress test, may be discussed depending on your individual needs.

Does Dr. David Williams accept my insurance?

Dr. Williams' office accepts a variety of insurance plans. To confirm coverage for your specific insurance, please call our office directly and provide your insurance information. This will ensure accurate details for both consultations and any potential procedures.

What does a heart failure diagnosis mean?

A heart failure diagnosis means your heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as it should. We'll work together to manage this with lifestyle changes and medications to improve your heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance your quality of life.

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.

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, restore blood flow to the heart muscle, and relieve symptoms like chest pain.

Why do I need to wear a Holter or event monitor?

A Holter or event monitor is a portable EKG device worn for one or more days to record your heart's rhythm during normal daily activities. This helps us detect any unusual heartbeats (arrhythmias) that might not show up during a standard office EKG.

What is an echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram, or "echo," is a non-invasive ultrasound of the heart. Sound waves create moving pictures, allowing your cardiologist to assess the heart's size, shape, pumping function, and valve health.
