Cardiology Care for Glendora and the Eastern San Gabriel Valley
Glendora patients often arrive with the same question: “My primary care doctor mentioned my EKG looked off — what now?” Whether you live near Citrus College, off Foothill Boulevard, or up in the foothills near Big Dalton, CACVI gives you a clear answer instead of another six-week wait.
Heart care for an eastern San Gabriel Valley patient shouldn’t require a referral chain across three medical groups. CACVI’s lead physicians — Drs. Khorsandi and Lala — have performed more than 15,000 vascular and cardiac procedures over thirty-plus years, and they read their own imaging. For Glendora families who want the workup done by the same doctor who’ll follow them afterward, that continuity is the whole point.
Find out the cause of your heart condition.
Our office runs a cardiac evaluation that handles the diagnostic basics on the first visit. Glendora patients come in for coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, post-heart attack care, cardiomyopathy, and mitral or aortic valve disease. If Foothill Presbyterian discharged you after a workup and you need ongoing specialist care, we can pick up from there. Schedule an appointment.
Glendora Cardiac Specialists
Drs. Khorsandi and Lala built CACVI around patients who want a working relationship with their cardiologist, not a single visit followed by a phone tree. We’ve cared for Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, and Azusa residents alongside international patients who fly to LA specifically for the doctors’ procedure volume. The bar is the same for everyone: clear explanation, focused workup, and a treatment plan you can actually follow.
Be prepared.
Foothill Presbyterian’s ER handles the acute moment when chest pain hits, but the minutes before help arrives are decisive. An AED at home, at Citrus College’s athletic facilities, or in a small business can keep someone alive long enough for paramedics. If your symptoms include chest pressure that lingers, a heartbeat that feels chaotic, or shortness of breath that wasn’t there last month, don’t wait for it to escalate — call us.
A Glendora patient’s first visit at our Beverly Hills office is straightforward: physical exam, medical history including family cardiac history, review of any prior records from Foothill Presbyterian or your PCP, and on-site labs if needed. The drive runs about 40 minutes west via the I-210, and most patients schedule a mid-morning appointment to avoid commute traffic. We send our findings back to your Glendora primary care office so follow-up stays local.
Protect your heart.
Trust Your Heart to Our Expert Care
CVD claims an American life every 37 seconds, and the eastern SGV’s demographic mix — middle-class households, longer working years, multi-generational caregiving — tracks closely with the national risk picture. Hypertension and cholesterol go undiagnosed for years in this population because primary care visits often stay focused on the more acute complaint. A baseline cardiology workup is one of the highest-yield preventive moves in your forties or fifties.
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.
Our goal at CACVI is to help you achieve healthier living. As a stepping stone to healthier living, our physicians perform a variety of tests right here in our office. Our in-office diagnostic procedures can help our physicians and you determine a course of treatment that may help you improve your health and wellness for a better quality of living.
CACVI’s experienced cardiologists are determined to provide each patient with experienced, compassionate care as they work diligently to improve your health.
