How to live with Coronary Heart Disease and Congestive Heart Failure.

At Idaho Heart Institute, we have a combined 120 physician years of experience in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disorders. Our focus is on the prevention, early detection and treatment of cardiac illness. We can help you attain the your highest degree of heart health and functionality.

As a clinical cardiologist it is my goal to understand your cardiac status and how it interfaces with your other health conditions. I will put together a followup and treatment plan for you that fits with your situation. This is done by customizing guideline suggested therapy for your tolerance to the regimen.

Screening for cardiovascular disorders is now a more sensitive and specific process than it has been in the past. With cardiovascular ultrasound we can effectively quantitate the severity of illness and follow the progression of disease over time. This allows us to make the measurements needed to appropriately time interventions.

I have 33 years experience in cardiac catheterization, angioplasty and stenting. My primary goal, in this arena, is your safety. All such procedures, whether routine or complex, carry a modicum of risk of death and disability. It is my duty to ensure that the potential gain from an intervention is indeed worth the risk taken to accomplish the procedures goal.
