Clinical cardiac electrophysiology is a dynamic field. The heart electrical system is complicated. I believe that it is extremely important to spend enough time with my patients and fully explain their problem in order for them to be able to formulate an informed decision. I like to be involved in all aspects of the cardiac care for my patients in order to deliver complete and comprehensive care.

February is American Heart Month. At Duly, we offer Coronary Calcium Score CT Scans for $75. Heart scans are used to look for calcium deposits in the coronary arteries that can narrow your arteries and increase your heart attack risk. Heart scans can show that you may have a higher risk of having a heart attack or other problems before you have any obvious symptoms of heart disease.
