Our cardiologists at Advanced Medical Care treat a wide range of cardiovascular conditions, using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to improve your heart health. Our comprehensive care includes the following conditions:
Often called the "silent killer," hypertension is a major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. We provide routine monitoring and advanced screenings to identify elevated pressure early, offering customized management plans that include lifestyle counseling, nutrition guidance, and medication management.
Irregular heartbeats, such as palpitations or "fluttering," can impact your quality of life and increase the risk of blood clots. Our team uses event loop monitoring and EKGs to capture intermittent rhythm issues like AFib, allowing us to develop effective treatment strategies to restore a normal heart rhythm.
CAD occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked by plaque (atherosclerosis). We focus on both prevention and treatment through diagnostic screenings like nuclear stress tests and carotid Dopplers to assess blood flow and reduce the risk of future cardiac events.
Conditions affecting the heart valves can disrupt the flow of blood through the heart. Using advanced echocardiogram (ultrasound) technology, our specialists assess valve function and structure to manage conditions such as stenosis or regurgitation, ensuring your heart continues to pump efficiently.
For patients whose hearts cannot pump blood effectively, we provide elite, multidisciplinary care. Our approach to CHF management includes personalized medication regimens and can even coordinate with our physical therapy team for cardiac rehabilitation to improve long-term stamina and heart function.
Prevention is our priority, but for those who have already experienced a heart attack, we provide comprehensive recovery support. We offer diagnostic screenings to identify risk factors before they lead to an event and follow-up care to restore heart health post-recovery.
Chest pain is often a precursor to more serious heart issues. We evaluate the root cause of your angina—whether stable or unstable—using stress tests and imaging to determine if the pain is caused by underlying coronary disease or other cardiovascular stressors.
Building up cholesterol in the arteries is a leading cause of obstructions. We provide preventive heart screenings and blood work to manage cholesterol levels through diet, exercise, and medical intervention to prevent the onset of atherosclerosis.
We diagnose and treat diseases of the heart muscle that make it harder for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your body. Our diagnostic suite allows us to monitor muscle thickness and heart chamber size to prevent complications like heart failure.
We offer a range of cardiac tests to help evaluate your heart’s structure, function, and circulation. These diagnostic services can help identify potential problems early and guide the right treatment plan for your needs.
An EKG, or electrocardiogram, records the electrical activity of your heart. It can help detect irregular heart rhythms, signs of a past heart attack, and other heart-related concerns.
An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to create images of your heart. This test helps your provider assess how well your heart is pumping and check the heart’s valves and chambers.
A stress echocardiogram combines ultrasound imaging with exercise or medication to see how your heart performs under stress. It can help identify reduced blood flow to the heart and other issues that may not appear while at rest.
A carotid Doppler is an ultrasound test that examines blood flow through the carotid arteries in your neck. It can help detect narrowing or blockages that may increase the risk of stroke.
Nuclear stress testing uses a small amount of radioactive tracer and imaging to show how blood flows to your heart during rest and activity. This test can help identify poor circulation, blocked arteries, or areas of heart muscle damage.
Event loop monitoring is a portable heart monitor worn over a period of time to record intermittent symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, or fainting. It helps capture irregular heart rhythms that may not appear during a standard office visit.
At Advanced Medical Care, we believe that heart health is a combination of proactive prevention and timely intervention. Whether you are managing a known risk factor or experiencing new, concerning symptoms, our specialists in Brooklyn and Queens are here to provide the expert care you need.
Many heart conditions develop quietly over time. You should schedule a preventative cardiology consultation if any of the following apply to you:
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it is important to schedule a diagnostic evaluation as soon as possible to rule out serious underlying conditions.
Chest Pain or Discomfort (Angina)
This may feel like pressure, squeezing, or fullness in the chest, often occurring during physical activity or stress.
Shortness of Breath
If you find yourself "out of breath" during activities that used to be easy, or if you have difficulty breathing while lying flat, it may be a sign of heart failure or valve issues.
Palpitations or Heart "Fluttering"
If your heart feels like it is skipping beats, racing, or pounding in your chest, we use event loop monitoring to track these irregularities.
Dizziness or Fainting (Syncope)
Feeling lightheaded or experiencing a loss of consciousness can indicate issues with heart rhythm or blood flow to the brain.
Swelling in the Legs, Ankles, or Feet
Known as edema, persistent swelling in the lower extremities can be a primary indicator that the heart is not pumping blood effectively.
Persistent Fatigue
Unexplained, extreme exhaustion—even after resting—can sometimes be a "silent" symptom of heart disease, particularly in women.
Dr. Mikhail Kapchits is a board-certified physician specializing in the fields of cardiovascular diseases and nuclear cardiology with over 20 years of experience.
He completed his residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in cardiovascular disease at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York. Dr. Kapchits is also a board-certified cardiologist.
Dr. Kapchits is passionate about the importance of delivering the highest standard of care to those who rely on him. He takes the time to build true bonds with his patients, understanding that outstanding care requires personal connections.
A nuclear stress test assesses blood flow to your heart during rest and exercise, using a safe radioactive tracer and imaging. It's a non-invasive procedure lasting about 3-4 hours, ideal for diagnosing blockages or ischemia. Our cardiology team ensures comfort and clear results for your cardiovascular health.
An EKG records your heart's electrical activity to detect irregularities, while an echocardiogram uses ultrasound to visualize heart structure and function. These essential tests are key in preventive cardiology and are available at our Queens and Brooklyn offices for accurate heart health assessments.
Yes, event loop monitoring is a portable device worn for 24-30 days to capture intermittent arrhythmias. It's particularly helpful for patients with unexplained palpitations, providing detailed data for our cardiologists to develop effective treatment plans.
