Jared Tarbox

I have to say that this is one of the best practices I have gone to! The receptionist up front was very kind and welcoming. The nurse that triaged me was extremely outgoing. I saw Dr. Alex who is new to the practice. He is very friendly and extremely intelligent.

James Lincoln

The staff is always very friendly and compassionate. When I need to make an appointment, they get me in quickly. When I explain what's going on with my health, I feel believed. A couple of days after the appointment they call to follow up and make sure things are going ok.

Why do you need a tilt table test?

The Tilt Table Test is used to determine a cause of syncope (fainting or loss of consciousness). There can be different reasons people experience syncope. For some people it is related to an abnormal nervous system reflex causing the heart to slow and the blood vessels to dilate (open up) lowering the blood pressure. When this happens there is a reduced amount of blood to the brain causing one to faint. This type of syncope is called vasovagal, neurocardiogenic or abnormal vasoregulatory syncope and is considered benign (not dangerous or life-threatening), except for the injuries that can happen when one faints unexpectedly. The Tilt Table Test is performed to reproduce (bring on) symptoms of syncope while the person is being closely monitored.

What does starvation do to the heart?

What is the test that measures the heart?

Why do we wear a heart monitor?

The monitor is worn continuously throughout the day and night and because it is worn for an extended time period, it can help physicians determine if there is a problem with the heart that would not normally be detected with a regular EKG which only checks the patient's heart rhythym for less than a minute.

How to tell if you are starving?

The latter can be recognized by examining the movement of the walls of the left ventricle (the major pumping chamber of the heart) by Echocardiography.

What is an EKG?

Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) An electrocardiogram or ECG (also called an EKG) is a common, painless test recording the electrical activity of the heart and converts it into lines called "waveforms" that can be seen on a monitor or printed out on paper.
