Dr Hinchman has those eagle eyes 👀 Imaging is a great tool in cardiology for identifying disease that isn’t always detected by stethoscopes or labs. When our clinical workup dictates we look further, we have access to cutting edge scans that help us see more.

This patient had a very severe blockage. Can you find it in this angiogram?

The only symptom was shortness of breath, but Dr Costello found this 99.9% blockage in the cath lab. Heart disease is often quiet until it is not - this was a huge heart attack waiting to happen.

Our doctors have incredible training and decades of experience, allowing them to perform procedures that are truly life saving.

Over half of the adults on the United States have high blood pressure (that’s 122 million adults).

If you have high blood pressure it’s important to check your blood pressure regularly at home. You should purchase an automatic, upper arm cuff-style monitor (use your HSA/FSA money!) and follow the instructions below:

1. Don’t smoke, drink caffeine or exercise within 30 minutes before taking your BP
2. Put the cuff on bare skin (not over clothes)
3. Use either arm
4. Be still for at least 5 minutes before taking your readings
5. Sit with your feet flat on the ground, arm at chest level and cuff placed directly above the bend of your elbow. Check the instructions on your cuff for taking measurements.
6. Measure at the same time each day. Check with your doctor or provider about how often you should take your measurement.
7. Take at least two readings, one minute apart, and record the results.

For a list of validated home monitors check out validatebp.org Feel free to bring your monitor into your next appointment to make sure it’s working correctly and giving accurate results.

Thanks for demonstrating proper technique!
