Coronary Artery Disease
Treatment in Queens, NY
Trusted coronary artery disease treatment to improve blood flow, relieve symptoms, and help prevent heart attacks and other cardiovascular complications.
What Is Coronary Artery Disease?
Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when plaque builds up inside the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Over time, these narrowed arteries can reduce blood flow, causing chest pain, shortness of breath, and an increased risk of heart attack. At Zambito Heart Center, Dr. Peter Zambito provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for all stages of coronary artery disease.
Common Symptoms
Symptoms of coronary artery disease may include:
- Chest pain or pressure (angina)
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Reduced exercise tolerance
- Heart attack symptoms
Some patients may have few or no symptoms until the condition becomes more advanced.
Coronary Artery Disease Testing
Dr. Zambito uses advanced cardiac testing to evaluate blood flow and identify blocked or narrowed arteries. Diagnostic testing may include:
- EKG (ECG)
- Echocardiogram
- Stress Testing
- Nuclear Cardiology Testing
- Cardiac Catheterization
These tests help determine the severity of your condition and guide treatment recommendations.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the severity of the blockage and your overall heart health. Options may include:
Lifestyle Modifications
Cholesterol and Blood Pressure Medications
Preventive Cardiac Care
Angioplasty and Stent Placement
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
The goal of treatment is to improve blood flow to the heart, reduce symptoms, and lower the risk of future cardiovascular events.
