Are you searching for a cardiologist near Wilmington?
Wilmington sits between the Port of Los Angeles and the refineries along Alameda Street, and the work that happens there shows up in our clinic. Long shifts in a truck cab. Twelve hours on a terminal yard. Rotating schedules that make a 9am appointment somewhere across the county close to impossible.
That combination, sitting for long stretches, shift work, and a physical job, is the one that hides heart symptoms. Chest pressure gets read as heartburn after a night shift. Breathlessness climbing the stairs at home gets blamed on the weight, or the years, or the heat.
At the Center for Advanced Cardiac and Vascular Interventions we work up those symptoms properly. Exam, EKG, echocardiogram and vascular ultrasound can be done in a single visit rather than spread across three appointments and three weeks. If you already had imaging done at a Harbor-area hospital, bring the disc. We would rather read what you already have than repeat it.
Our office is north of Wilmington on the 110, in Los Angeles. For patients coming from the Harbor Area we keep early-morning and late-afternoon slots so a cardiac workup does not cost a full shift.
If you have chest pain, shortness of breath, a pacemaker or defibrillator that needs following, or you were sent home from an emergency room with instructions to see a cardiologist, that is what this visit is for.

Be prepared.
If you haven’t already, we do recommend that all homes and businesses learn how to use and buy AEDs (automated external defibrillators), which can be utilized to revive someone from sudden cardiac arrest.
If you have chest pain or suspect that you have a dangerously fast or chaotic heartbeat that is keeping your heart from supplying enough blood to the rest of your body (ventricular fibrillation), please call us today.
The initial evaluation of Wilmington cardiac patients consists of performing a physical examination and obtaining a medical history. During the physical examination, we look for an underlying cause for symptoms that have presented – such as chest pain or shortness of breath – and assess heart function. The medical history will include questions about heart problems or symptoms, family history, medication use and other medical conditions. We may also request laboratory tests, such as urinalysis or blood tests, in order to identify various conditions.
