Comprehensive Cardiac Testing in Ridgecrest
The first step in establishing a personalized treatment plan is to understand
the nature and scope of your heart issue. Our Cardiology Clinic offers
a wide range of tests to help diagnose heart problems.
If your primary care physician has recommended testing, our team will walk
you through every aspect of our process, so you feel comfortable throughout.
Other clear signs that diagnostic testing may be needed include chest
pain, palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath, leg swelling and cramping,
and the presence of Varicose veins.
Our testing services include:
Cardiac stress test

Holter Monitor

Our Trusted Ridgecrest Cardiologist Put Your Heart Health First
Because heart disease often has no noticeable symptoms, many people don’t
realize they have a problem until a major event like a heart attack or
stroke occurs—which is one of the reasons why heart disease is the
biggest killer in the United States. To combat this, it is important to
not only stay on top of your blood pressure, blood cholesterol level,
diet, and lifestyle, but to also understand risk factors. Our cardiology
team can help you manage many of your risk factors for heart disease,
so you can take your heart health into your own hands.
Risk factors for heart disease include, but are not limited to:
Diets that are high in fat, cholesterol, or sodium
High blood pressure
Stress
Lack of physical activity
Smoking
Diabetes
Excessive alcohol consumption
A family history of heart disease
At RRH, we understand how troubling heart problems can be, which is why
we not only focus on testing and treating the issue, but also offer rehabilitation
solutions through our Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Program. This program
is designed to improve the quality of life for our patients and is tailored
to their specific needs. From helping patients navigate nutrition, physical
activity, and stress levels to sharing resources and matching you with
experts, our Ridgecrest cardiologists want you to feel confident that
you are in good hands every step of your journey.
