Services Offered

Dr. Malhotra provides comprehensive diagnostic and management services for adult patients with cardiovascular diseases. His practice focuses on the long-term care of chronic conditions such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and high cholesterol. He performs and interprets non-invasive cardiac testing, prescribes and monitors medications, and coordinates care with cardiac surgeons, electrophysiologists, and interventional cardiologists when advanced procedures are needed. Patient education on lifestyle modification (diet, exercise, smoking cessation) and medication adherence is a key part of his approach. He also provides follow-up care after hospitalizations for heart attacks or heart failure exacerbations.

• Initial cardiology consultation – Thorough history, physical exam, review of symptoms and risk factors, ordering of baseline tests (EKG, labs, echocardiogram)

• Chronic disease management – Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, heart failure – medication titration, monitoring labs and imaging, adjustment for side effects

• Non-invasive cardiac testing – EKG interpretation, Holter/event monitoring, echocardiogram ordering and interpretation (if available directly), stress testing coordination

• Heart failure management – Fluid status assessment, diuretic adjustment, ACE inhibitor/ARB/beta-blocker/ARNI optimization, monitoring renal function and electrolytes

• Preventive cardiology – Cardiovascular risk assessment (Framingham, ASCVD risk score), lipid management with statins, antiplatelet therapy (aspirin, clopidogrel), blood pressure control

• Anticoagulation management – For atrial fibrillation, mechanical heart valves, or prior clots; monitoring INR for warfarin or managing DOACs

• Post-hospitalization follow-up – After myocardial infarction, coronary stenting, bypass surgery, or heart failure admission; medication reconciliation, lifestyle guidance, referral to cardiac rehabilitation

• Coordination of care – Referrals to interventional cardiology (angiography/stenting), cardiac surgery (bypass, valve replacement), electrophysiology (ablation, pacemaker/ICD), and primary care

• Patient education – Heart-healthy diet (DASH diet), sodium restriction for heart failure, exercise prescription, smoking cessation, weight management, medication adherence counseling
