Need a Trusted Cardiologist to Help You Take Control of Your Heart Health?

Cardiology care for Anaheim and central Orange County

If your internist near Anaheim Regional flagged a stress test result, if you’ve had palpitations or shortness of breath at work in the resort district, or if you were discharged from an ER with a “see cardiology” instruction — our Beverly Hills office is the closest CACVI location, about 40 minutes north on the 5.

Anaheim is a mix — long-time Latino and white families, a large Vietnamese and Filipino population, hospitality and service workers on shift schedules, and a sprawling primary care landscape running from AHMC Anaheim Regional to Kaiser to dozens of private internists along Lincoln Avenue. The Anaheim patients we see usually arrive with one specific question their primary care doctor already raised. Dr. Mehran J. Khorsandi and Dr. Moinakhtar Lala have over thirty combined years in cardiology and vascular medicine and more than 15,000 procedures between them. One doctor stays in the room, the imaging gets read live, and your visit summary goes back to your Anaheim primary care office the same day.

Find out the cause of your heart condition.

Most Anaheim patients book us for one of three reasons: a stress test their internist couldn’t fully interpret, atrial fibrillation flagged on a routine EKG, or new chest pressure that’s been showing up during shifts in Anaheim’s resort district. Our team can perform a cardiac evaluation — physical exam, EKG, echocardiogram, vascular ultrasound — in a single visit at our Beverly Hills office, about 40 minutes from central Anaheim via the 5 north. We book Anaheim patients early so the drive happens before the morning crush on the 5.

Anaheim Cardiac Specialists

Both cardiologists are board-certified, fellowship-trained, and have published peer-reviewed work in the field. For our Anaheim patients, the practical difference is in the structure of the visit — one physician in the room, time to actually talk, and a written summary back to your AHMC, Kaiser, or private internist’s office before you’ve hit the 405 on the way home.

Be prepared.

AHMC Anaheim Regional Medical Center on La Palma is the closest ER for most Anaheim residents, and West Anaheim Medical Center serves the western side of the city. Both can manage acute chest pain; neither offers the outpatient cardiology follow-up bandwidth that prevents a repeat visit. If you were discharged from either with instructions to see a cardiologist soon, call us — we hold appointment slots specifically for post-ER handoffs. Anaheim households should also be ready to use an AED — sudden cardiac arrest survival drops about 10% per minute without defibrillation, and dense apartment complexes in central Anaheim can slow paramedic access.

The first visit for an Anaheim patient typically runs 60 to 90 minutes. We pull your history — family events, current medications, what symptoms show up at what activity — then do a physical exam, EKG, and an echocardiogram if indicated. If you have recent imaging at AHMC, West Anaheim, or Kaiser, bring the CD or sign a release in advance; we’d rather review what you have than re-order tests. The Beverly Hills office is at 8741 Alden Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90048. From Anaheim, the 5 north to La Brea is the cleanest route — about 40 minutes outside peak traffic.

Protect your heart.

Trust Your Heart to Our Expert Care

Anaheim’s adult cardiovascular profile tracks higher than the Orange County average on diabetes and hypertension, driven mostly by the demographic mix and the prevalence of shift work in the resort and hospitality economy. Both of those risk factors respond well to early outpatient management. Most Anaheim patients we evaluate end up with a medication adjustment and a lifestyle plan rather than a procedure — provided they get in before symptoms force an ER visit.

High blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and smoking are key risk factors for heart disease. About half of Americans (47%) have at least one of these three risk factors.

A little blonde Russian woman named Natasha asked me to post about her renal procedure. It was done by Dr. Khorsandi at CACVI. They took absolutely amazing care of her and went above and beyond to treat her terribly high blood pressure. They lasered her renal artery. After the procedure it wouldn’t stop bleeding so they ended up staying w her at the center until 9pm. That’s when they finally had to call the ambulance to move her to E.R. All of the staff were incredibly professional and their care was second to none. Dr. Lala promised her that her high blood pressure would go away. It has and now she’s throwing out all her old med’s just like Lala promised. This group of Doctors is like no other. If you have any of these cardiac issues then you’ve found your saving grace. No need to look any further. They were incredibly patient and helpful in every medical way possible. Natasha has found a new way of living. Without her terrible pounding migraines she had on a daily basis. 5 stars all the way. They deserve all the praise possible. They provided a miracle. Thank you Dr’s Lala & Khorsandi.

On behalf of my father, a patient of CACVI, I wanted to acknowledge and praise the entire team of this organization for its outstanding surgical expertise and knowledgeable/warm supporting staff. We had gone through countless recommendations that all claimed there was only one last option for treatment, amputation. That news is devastating for anyone to hear, and resulted in my father having little faith that the quality of his life would ever be the same... All that changed the moment we had our first interaction with this organization. The care, knowledge, and most importantly hope that there was still options if we acted fast was single moment that turned this entire nightmare around. Thank you CACVI for being the single most important piece to solving my father's health crisis. Dont think twice, make the appointment and atleast go meet and see them-- for us it was the moment that changed the trajectory of our situation forever for the better.

I’m 41 years old, and I have something called May-Thurner’s Syndrome. However, it wasn’t until I saw Dr. Vasim Lala a couple years ago that I was diagnosed with it. May-Thurner’s syndrome is when the main veins that split off into your legs is compressed by the main arteries that split off into your legs. The result is that the blood that should be coming back up through the leg veins pools at your ankles. My whole life until I was diagnosed, I was lethargic. My legs felt heavy. I started to develop purple bruising around my ankles in my twenties. I started to get varicose veins on my calves. I thought this was normal. I was living on “hard mode” and didn’t know it. If I was on my feet for extended periods of time, my legs would swell a lot. I thought maybe I need to lose some weight. When I started teaching a few years ago, I would be on my feet 6-8 hours a day. One day, I got home, and my left leg was so swollen my wife was concerned I had a blood clot. I went to the emergency room, and thankfully it was just superficial. I temporarily went on blood thinners and was recommended to see Dr. Lala. He changed my life. I’d shown my purpling ankles to GP’s. They’d seen my varicose veins. But none if them put all the signs together until I saw Dr. Lala. He diagnosed me with May-Thurner’s syndrome and recommend we put stents in my veins to prevent them from being compressed by the arteries. So we did the surgeries. Out patient procedures. My legs stopped swelling a lot. I started wearing compression socks. I had to be on blood thinners for a year, but eventually I was able to stop taking them which was great. But I still had varicose veins in my legs because they had widened from the blood pooling in them for years. I’ve had two ablations per leg since them, which closes the affected veins, and I’ve got a new lease on life. My legs feel lighter. They don’t swell nearly as much. The varicose veins have disappeared. Now, I’m lighter on my feet. I’m not lethargic. There’s a pep in my step. I have one more ablation each being scheduled. I’m thankful for Dr. Lala and his incredible team at CACVI for their diagnosis and treatment. It truly changed my life.
