Cardiology care for Newport Beach and the Coast Highway
If chest discomfort showed up during a Back Bay loop, if your watch flagged an irregular rhythm after a paddle out at Wedge, or if your concierge physician in Newport Beach told you it’s time for a serious cardiology workup, our LA Beverly Hills office handles cases like yours every week. Conditions like heart arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, and heart failure are what we manage here, and many of them respond well to early intervention if you act on the symptoms instead of waiting them out.
Common Heart Conditions We Treat
Our cardiologists diagnose and manage a wide range of cardiovascular conditions, including:
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease develops when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked by plaque. This reduces blood flow to the heart muscle. Common symptoms include chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, fatigue, and discomfort in the arms, neck, jaw, or back. When left untreated, it can lead to serious problems such as a heart attack or heart failure. Reduced blood flow can also limit physical activity, making it harder to walk long distances, climb stairs, or exercise comfortably.
Heart Arrhythmia
Heart arrhythmias occur when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly due to problems with its electrical signals. Symptoms may include a fluttering or racing heartbeat, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, or fainting. Some arrhythmias increase the risk of stroke or heart failure if left untreated. Irregular heart rhythms can affect energy levels, balance, and concentration, which may interfere with daily activities and overall quality of life.
Aortic Valve Disease
Aortic valve disease affects the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. When the valve does not open or close properly, blood flow becomes restricted. Symptoms often include chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, or fainting, especially during physical activity. Over time, this condition can place extra strain on the heart and lead to heart failure. Reduced blood flow can limit stamina and make routine activities more difficult.
Heart Failure
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is not able to pump blood as efficiently as it should. This can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, swelling in the legs or ankles, ongoing fatigue, and difficulty with physical activity. As the condition progresses, fluid buildup and poor circulation can affect other organs. Heart failure can significantly reduce mobility and independence, making everyday tasks more challenging without proper care.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Hypertension is consistently high blood pressure that puts extra stress on the heart and blood vessels. Many people do not experience noticeable symptoms, but some may have headaches, dizziness, or shortness of breath. If left unmanaged, high blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. Over time, it can reduce endurance and contribute to fatigue, affecting daily comfort and long-term health.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
Peripheral artery disease occurs when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, most commonly the legs. Symptoms may include leg pain or cramping while walking, numbness, weakness, or slow-healing sores. In more advanced cases, poor circulation can lead to serious complications. This condition can make walking painful and limit mobility, affecting a person’s ability to stay active and maintain independence.
Our Cardiology Services in Newport Beach, CA
We provide thorough cardiology services focused on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and long-term heart health management. Our goal is to help you understand your heart health, address any concerns early, and support your overall well-being. Services include:
Diagnosis
Our diagnostic services help identify heart problems early, before they become serious. This includes tests to measure blood flow, heart rhythm, and overall cardiac function. You may undergo procedures such as electrocardiograms (EKG/ECG), echocardiograms, or stress tests to give a complete picture of your heart’s condition. Early and accurate diagnosis allows our cardiologists to create personalized care plans, ensuring the best possible results.
Cardiac Evaluations
Cardiac evaluations are thorough assessments of your heart function and risk factors. During an evaluation, our cardiologists review your medical history, perform physical exams, and order any necessary tests to understand your heart’s performance. You can expect a detailed discussion about your results, potential risks, and next steps. These evaluations help catch issues early, even if you feel well, and provide guidance on lifestyle or treatment adjustments. Regular evaluations are key to maintaining strong heart health and preventing future complications.
Treatment
Our treatment services address diagnosed heart conditions with the most effective and evidence-based approaches. Treatments may include medications, minimally invasive procedures, or referrals for specialized interventions when necessary. Our cardiologists work closely with you to manage symptoms, improve heart function, and reduce your risk of serious events. We also provide education on lifestyle changes, nutrition, and exercise to support your recovery. The goal is to stabilize your condition, restore function, and help you live a full, active life.
Preventive Cardiology
Preventive cardiology focuses on reducing your risk of heart disease before it starts or progresses. This includes risk assessments, screenings, and guidance on healthy lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and stress management. Even if you have no symptoms, preventive care can identify warning signs early and help you take action to protect your heart. Our team creates individualized plans to maintain your heart health over time and prevent serious complications. Staying proactive with your heart can improve energy, mobility, and long-term well-being.
Newport Beach Cardiac Specialists
Our Newport Beach patient base skews older and more affluent than the OC average, with a strong concentration of executives, retirees, and competitive amateur athletes. That mix shapes how we practice: more concierge-style scheduling, more imaging-led workups, and more conversations about how to keep an active lifestyle on the Back Bay trails or the sand at Crystal Cove without crossing into cardiac risk. Dr. Khorsandi or Dr. Lala reads every new Newport Beach chart personally before the visit.
Our Approach to Heart Health
At CACVI we take an imaging-led approach to heart care that puts each Newport Beach patient’s actual life first. The care plan for a 58-year-old who races sailboats out of Balboa is not the same as the plan for a 78-year-old grandparent who walks Lido Marina Village in the mornings — even if the echocardiogram readings look similar on paper. We build the plan around the activities you actually want to keep doing.
A first visit at our LA Beverly Hills office — roughly 55 minutes north of Newport Beach via I-405 — typically runs 60 to 90 minutes. We collect your history, the cardiac symptoms you’ve actually noticed, family history of early MI, and your full medication and supplement list (a more relevant question in Newport Beach than most places). Most patients get an EKG and echocardiogram during the same visit, so you leave knowing whether you need a stress test, a Holter monitor, or just a six-month recheck. We coordinate with Hoag for any inpatient or interventional follow-up.
