Conditions Treated
Dr. Malik provides treatment in his cardiology medical clinic 11218 for a wide range of heart problems. These conditions include:
- Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)– Treatment often involves medications, but may also include an implanted device.
- Congestive heart failure– This disease has four stages, and three of them can be treated. Surgery will often be needed to correct it, which may include the repair of heart valves, implanted devices, coronary bypass surgery, and more.
- Coronary artery disease– This disease is often fatal (370,000 deaths annually) but it can be treated if caught early. Blockages build up in the arteries leading to a drastic or complete reduction of blood flow. Treatment is often medications, widening arteries, or bypass surgery.
- Diseases of the heart valves– The valves in your heart fail to operate as expected. This leads to problems with blood flow and can lead to a heart attack, stroke, and more. Medications may help, but more severe problems will require surgery.
- Angina– This pain in the chest will often feel like a heart attack. Although it is not a heart attack, it is often a precursor to one. Medications are often used, but surgery may also be needed.
- Dizziness and syncope (fainting)– The cause of being dizzy or actually fainting is often a circulation problem or heart problem. Treatment often includes medication or possible heart surgery.
- Palpitations– When your heart palpitates, it may be serious or it may not be anything at all. A heart specialist needs to look into it. Medication may bring relief, but lifestyle changes and/or surgery may be needed.
- Shortness of breath– There are several causes of being short of breath, and it may not be serious. In other cases, a doctor should look into it.
