Any Questions About Heart Health Screening?
What’s Included in Our Heart Health Screening
Our heart health testing goes beyond a basic check-up. We offer specialized diagnostic services that give a complete picture of your heart’s function. These include:
1. Coumadin/Warfarin Check
If you’re taking blood-thinning medications like Coumadin or Warfarin, regular monitoring is essential to maintain the correct dosage. Too much or too little can affect how well the medicine works.
Our clinic provides precise blood tests to measure your INR (International Normalized Ratio) levels, helping your doctor adjust your medication as needed.
2. Drug Therapy Management
Certain heart conditions require ongoing medication to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Our personalized drug therapy plans make certain your prescriptions are working effectively while minimizing side effects. We monitor your response to treatment and make adjustments when necessary.
3. Heart Condition Diagnostics
If you’re experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats, we offer advanced diagnostic tests to help identify potential heart conditions. These may include:
- Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG): Measures electrical activity in your heart
- Echocardiogram: Uses ultrasound to check heart function
- Stress Tests: Evaluates how your heart performs under physical activity
- Holter Monitoring: Tracks heart rhythms over 24-48 hours
Heart Disease Prevention
Preventive care is the best way to avoid heart problems. We offer comprehensive screenings to evaluate risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Based on your results, we’ll guide you on lifestyle changes, diet, and exercise to keep your heart in top shape.

When you visit our clinic, you can expect:
- Quick and painless tests: Most heart health tests are non-invasive and take little time.

I Am Blessed To Be His Patient
Dr. Baig cares about his patients, and also for those under his care when entering hospital through ER and not his regular patient. Which he did for my husband a number of times. I credit Dr. Baig to saving his life in such a situation in the years past.
