Your Heart Has Questions.
This Takes 90 Seconds.
A cardiology practice built around the questions you're afraid to ask. Stress tests, echocardiograms, Holter monitoring — and a cardiologist who takes the time to explain what each result actually means.
Most patients leave their first visit feeling relieved, not worried.
The tests that tell
the whole story.
Stress Echocardiogram
Exercise-based heart imaging to detect reduced blood flow under exertion.
Holter Monitoring
Continuous rhythm recording to capture irregular beats your smartwatch flagged.
Coronary Calcium Score
CT scan measuring plaque buildup — the clearest predictor of future cardiac events.
Echocardiogram
Ultrasound imaging of heart structure, valves, and pumping function.
Cardiac Risk Panel
Blood work plus resting ECG to establish your complete baseline cardiovascular picture.
Should I worry about chest tightness during exercise?
Asked by a 52-year-old marketing director whose tightness started three months ago — only on the treadmill, gone within minutes of stopping.
Exercise-induced chest tightness is worth investigating — and the test is simpler than you think.
Chest tightness that appears during exertion and resolves with rest is a classic pattern that cardiologists take seriously. It may reflect angina — reduced blood flow to the heart muscle during increased demand. The good news: a stress echocardiogram can definitively answer this question in a single 45-minute appointment. Most people who come in for this concern leave with a clear explanation and a concrete plan.

My father had a heart attack at 55. When should I get screened?
Asked by a 44-year-old accountant whose father died of MI at 55 and whose last cholesterol panel came back borderline.
Family history before 65 is the single strongest risk factor we can identify early.
When a first-degree relative had a cardiac event before age 65, we recommend screening starting at 10 years before their event age — meaning you should be evaluated now. A coronary calcium score is the most precise tool available for your situation: a 15-minute, no-contrast CT scan that measures actual plaque in your arteries, not just risk estimates. A score of zero is genuinely reassuring. A score above 100 tells us it's time to act.

My smartwatch flagged an irregular rhythm at 2 a.m. What does that actually mean?
Asked by a 49-year-old software engineer who woke to an AFib notification and has been checking his watch obsessively ever since.
A single smartwatch alert rarely means AFib — but it always deserves a proper answer.
Consumer wearables have improved dramatically, but they still generate false positives — especially during sleep when movement artifacts mimic irregular rhythms. A 24-hour Holter monitor is the definitive test: you wear a small recording device for a full day, capturing every beat. If there's a genuine arrhythmia, we'll find it. If the watch was wrong, you'll have documentation that confirms it. Either way, you'll stop checking your wrist at 2am.

I came in convinced something was seriously wrong. Dr. Harrington spent forty minutes explaining every result. I left lighter than I'd felt in months.

Retired teacher, 67 — referred after elevated troponin
My Apple Watch flagged an irregular rhythm at 2am and I spiraled for a week. Pulse got me in within two days and the Holter confirmed it was benign. That peace of mind was priceless.

Booking my father's echocardiogram online took less time than calling his GP's office. The results were explained to both of us together, in plain English.
