• Non-Coronary Angioplasty: This service provides procedures to open narrowed blood vessels in your heart, improving blood flow.
• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): This procedure involves inserting a catheter into a blood vessel to check for narrowed or blocked arteries in your heart.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a simple test that measures the electrical activity of your heart to check for rhythm problems and other heart conditions.
• Ultrasound: Our cardiovascular ultrasound service uses sound waves to create images of your heart and blood vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Sameer Verma:

What is a Cardiologist?

A cardiologist is a medical doctor specializing in the heart and blood vessels. They diagnose, treat, and prevent heart conditions like coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and high blood pressure.

What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. Sameer Verma?

Your first visit with Dr. Verma will involve a detailed discussion of your symptoms, risk factors, and family history. A physical exam and often an electrocardiogram (EKG) will be performed. Further testing, such as an echocardiogram or stress test, may be recommended based on your individual needs.

Does Dr. Sameer Verma accept my insurance?

Dr. Verma's office accepts a variety of insurance plans. To confirm your specific coverage for consultations and procedures, please call our office directly with your insurance information.

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 detect arrhythmias that might not be apparent during a brief in-office EKG.

I've had fainting spells. How do you determine the cause?

Determining the cause of fainting spells, or syncope, involves a thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history, physical exam, and various tests. Electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms, tilt table tests, and heart rhythm monitors are often used to rule out potential cardiac causes and ensure patient safety.

Does a cardiologist treat blockages in leg arteries?

Dr. Verma and our team 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.

How does Dr. Sameer Verma treat heart valve disease?

Dr. Verma's approach to heart valve disease considers the severity of the condition. Mild cases may only require regular monitoring and medication management. For more severe cases, he coordinates care with a cardiac surgeon or interventional cardiologist for procedures like valve repair or replacement, including TAVR.

What is the treatment for high cholesterol?

Treatment for high cholesterol often starts with dietary changes and increased physical activity. If lifestyle modifications are insufficient, Dr. Sameer Verma may prescribe medications like statins to effectively lower cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular risk.
