Touro's heart and vascular care team provides advanced diagnosis, treatment,
and prevention strategies for patients at every stage of heart disease.
Whether you've been recently diagnosed or are managing risk factors like
high blood pressure or high cholesterol, our team is here to help you
protect your heart.
Coronary artery disease occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that
supply blood to the heart. As arteries narrow, blood flow decreases, raising
the risk of chest pain or heart attack.
Heart failure
Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood efficiently. Symptoms
may include:
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
Swelling in the legs
Rapid heartbeat
Early treatment improves quality of life and helps prevent hospitalization.
High blood pressure is often called the "silent killer" because
it rarely causes symptoms, but over time, it significantly increases the
risk of heart attack and stroke.
Regular monitoring and treatment can dramatically reduce your risk.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women. Women may experience
different or more subtle symptoms than men, including fatigue, nausea,
or jaw pain.
