Cardiology care for Yorba Linda and north Orange County
If your primary care doctor in Yorba Linda flagged a borderline EKG, if you woke up with chest pressure after a Friday-night dinner, or if your watch picked up an irregular rhythm during a walk through Hurless Barton Park — you have options closer than you think. Our Beverly Hills office is the nearest CACVI location, roughly 45 minutes northwest via the 91 and the 110.
Yorba Linda runs older and more affluent than most of Orange County, and the patients we see from the 92886 ZIP often come to us with the same starting point: an internist’s referral for a stress test, follow-up imaging after a calcium score, or evaluation of atrial fibrillation caught at an annual physical. Dr. Mehran J. Khorsandi and Dr. Moinakhtar Lala read every scan personally, sit with you in the room, and walk through what each finding means before recommending anything invasive. Thirty-plus years of cardiac and vascular practice, more than 15,000 procedures performed, and not a single visit handed off to a fellow.
Find out the cause of your heart condition.
A typical Yorba Linda patient drives our way for one of three things: a stress test result that needs interpretation, palpitations that aren’t responding to a beta-blocker their internist prescribed, or follow-up after a coronary CT showed early plaque. Our team can perform a cardiac evaluation — physical exam, EKG, echocardiogram, stress testing — in one visit at our Beverly Hills office, about 45 minutes from the Savi Ranch area via the 91 and the 110. Most patients schedule it as a Friday morning appointment and are home by lunchtime.
Yorba Linda Cardiac Specialists
Both of our cardiologists are board-certified, fellowship-trained, and have published research in the same journals their academic peers cite. What separates the practice for our Yorba Linda patients is the format of the visit itself: one physician, one room, time to ask questions, and a printed plan that goes back to your Placentia or Anaheim Hills primary care doctor before you leave the parking lot.
Be prepared.
The closest emergency room to most Yorba Linda residents is Placentia-Linda Hospital on Rose Drive, and Kaiser Anaheim is the next closest. Both can manage acute chest pain, but neither offers same-day outpatient cardiac follow-up. If you’ve been discharged from a Yorba Linda–area ER in the past week with instructions to “see a cardiologist soon,” we keep slots open for that specific situation. Knowing how to use an AED matters too — sudden cardiac arrest survival drops roughly 10% for every minute without defibrillation, and most Yorba Linda neighborhoods are more than 8 minutes from the nearest ambulance station.
The first visit for a Yorba Linda patient usually runs 60 to 90 minutes. We start with the history — family cardiac events, current medications, symptoms by exertion level — then move to a physical exam, EKG, and an echocardiogram if indicated. If you’ve already had imaging at Placentia-Linda or St. Jude Medical Center, bring the disc; we’d rather review your existing scans than order new ones. The Beverly Hills office is at 8741 Alden Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90048; for Yorba Linda residents, the most efficient route is the 91 west to the 110 north, then surface streets to Wilshire — about 45 minutes outside rush hour.

Trust Your Heart to Our Expert Care
Adults 55 and older make up roughly a third of Yorba Linda’s population, which is well above the Orange County average — and the leading cause of death in that age band is still coronary artery disease. The good news for our Yorba Linda patients: hypertension, cholesterol, and early-stage CAD all respond well to outpatient management when caught before symptoms force the issue.
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.
