Heart Conditions We Treat in Beverly Hills
Comprehensive Cardiovascular Care From a Double Board-Certified Cardiologist
Heart conditions can affect your health in very different ways, from abnormal heart rhythms and elevated blood pressure to structural heart disease and long-term cardiovascular risk. Dr. Omeed Warej combines expertise in internal medicine and cardiovascular medicine to evaluate these conditions, identify relevant risk factors, and develop personalized treatment and prevention strategies.
Arrhythmia Treatment in Beverly Hills
Arrhythmias occur when the heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or irregularly. Symptoms can include palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, or reduced exercise tolerance. Dr. Warej can evaluate suspected or known rhythm disorders, determine whether additional cardiac testing is appropriate, and coordinate specialty care when needed.
Heart Failure Treatment in Beverly Hills
Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood effectively enough to meet the body's needs. Early evaluation can help identify contributing factors and guide treatment before symptoms become more limiting. Dr. Warej provides cardiovascular evaluation, medication management, risk-factor control, and ongoing monitoring for patients with heart failure.
Valvular Disease Treatment in Beverly Hills
Heart valve disease can affect how blood moves through the heart and may gradually progress without obvious symptoms. Dr. Warej can evaluate suspected or known valvular disease through cardiovascular assessment and appropriate imaging, including echocardiography, while monitoring changes over time and coordinating advanced cardiology care when necessary.
Hypertension Treatment in Beverly Hills
High blood pressure places ongoing strain on the cardiovascular system and can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and other complications. Dr. Warej evaluates blood pressure within the context of your overall cardiovascular risk and can develop an individualized plan that may include lifestyle changes, monitoring, and medication management.
Atherosclerosis Treatment in Beverly Hills
Atherosclerosis develops when plaque accumulates within the arteries, potentially restricting blood flow and increasing cardiovascular risk. Early risk assessment can help identify factors contributing to plaque development. Dr. Warej can evaluate cholesterol, blood pressure, metabolic health, inflammatory markers, and other risk factors to develop a personalized strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk.
High Cholesterol Treatment in Beverly Hills
High cholesterol, particularly elevated LDL cholesterol or ApoB, can contribute to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease over time. Dr. Warej can assess your lipid profile alongside family history, metabolic health, and other cardiovascular risk factors, then determine whether lifestyle intervention, medication, advanced lipid testing, or ongoing monitoring may be appropriate.
Metabolic Syndrome Treatment in Beverly Hills
Metabolic syndrome refers to a combination of factors such as abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure, abnormal blood sugar, and unhealthy cholesterol or triglyceride levels that can increase cardiovascular risk. Dr. Warej addresses these factors together through comprehensive cardiometabolic evaluation, personalized lifestyle strategies, and medication management when clinically appropriate.
Heart Disease Prevention in Beverly Hills
Preventing cardiovascular disease starts with understanding your individual risk before problems become symptomatic. Dr. Warej can evaluate family history, blood pressure, cholesterol, and advanced lipid biomarkers, metabolic health, exercise capacity, and other relevant factors to establish a personalized cardiovascular prevention strategy and monitor changes over time.
Sports Cardiology Clearance in Beverly Hills
Athletes may require cardiovascular evaluation before beginning or continuing intense physical activity, particularly when there is a personal or family history of heart disease, unexplained symptoms, or other potential risk factors. Dr. Warej provides sports cardiology clearance and can use tools such as EKG, echocardiography, exercise testing, and CPET when clinically appropriate to evaluate cardiovascular health in the context of athletic goals.
