Take charge of your heart health with expert cardiovascular care at the Northside Hospital Heart Institute. In this Northside 101, Dr. Kashyap Patel, a cardiologist at Northside Hospital Cherokee, breaks down the difference between uncontrollable risk factors like genetics and age and preventable risks such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. He explains why routine screenings, including blood pressure checks, cholesterol and glucose testing, and electrocardiograms (EKGs), should start as early as your twenties.
Our specialists treat a wide range of conditions, from coronary artery disease, often described as plumbing issues, and heart rhythm disorders, known as wiring problems, to structural heart concerns and long-term risk management. With a comprehensive team of cardiologists, electrophysiologists and cardiovascular surgeons across five Northside Hospital campuses, patients receive coordinated, life-saving care close to home.
