About the Doctor

A highly qualified cardiologist and Candidate of Medical Sciences with over 35 years of medical experience.

Throughout an extensive medical career, the doctor has gained substantial clinical experience in diagnosing, treating, and providing long-term care for patients with a wide range of cardiovascular conditions.

The doctor combines extensive clinical expertise, an academic background, and modern methods of cardiovascular diagnostics.

Particular attention is given to the early detection of cardiovascular diseases, assessment of individual risk factors, selection of appropriate treatment, and prevention of complications.

The core approach is not simply to relieve symptoms, but to identify their underlying causes, assess cardiovascular health, and develop a personalized treatment and follow-up plan for each patient.

When Should You See a Cardiologist?

Consider scheduling a cardiology consultation if you experience:

• Chest pain, pressure, burning, or discomfort.
• Rapid heartbeat, palpitations, or an irregular heartbeat.
• High or unstable blood pressure.
• Shortness of breath during physical activity or at rest.
• Dizziness or episodes of near-fainting.
• Swelling of the legs, especially in the evening.
• Reduced tolerance for everyday physical activity.
• A need for cardiovascular monitoring due to diabetes, obesity, or other chronic medical conditions.

Even without symptoms, a preventive cardiology consultation may be beneficial for individuals with increased cardiovascular risk or a family history of heart disease.

Important: Sudden severe chest pain, significant shortness of breath, or loss of consciousness requires emergency medical attention rather than a routine appointment.

The doctor specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the following cardiovascular conditions:

• Arterial Hypertension — high blood pressure, including difficult-to-control hypertension.
• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) — reduced blood supply to the heart muscle.
