What is Coronary Heart Disease? |
Coronary heart disease is a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up over many years inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle. |

How Is Coronary Heart Disease Diagnosed? |
Your doctor will diagnose coronary heart disease based on your medical and family histories, risk factors, a physical exam, and results from one or more tests and procedures: electrocardiogram (EKG), stress testing, echocardiography, chest x ray, blood tests, and coronary angiography and cardiac catheterization. |

How Is Mitral Valve Prolapse Treated? |
Most people who have mitral valve prolapse don’t need treatment. However, some people who have troublesome mitral valve backflow may be treated with medicines such as blood thinners, digoxin, diuretics, heart rhythm regulators, and vasodilators. People with an abnormal valve and significant backflow may need surgery, such as a valve repair and valve replacement or a transcatheter valve therapy procedure. |

Pneumonia - Risk Factors |
Many factors such as age (being younger than two years old or 65 of older), smoking, and other medical conditions such as heart failure, diabetes, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), or people who have weak immune systems due to HIV/AIDS, chemotherapy (a treatment for cancer), or organ or blood and marrow stem cell transplant procedures can increase your chances of getting pneumonia and having more severe pneumonia. |

Holter and Event Monitors |
Holter and event monitors are small, portable electrocardiogram devices that record your heart’s electrical activity for long periods of time while you do your normal activities. These monitors can record how fast your heart is beating, whether the rhythm of your heartbeats is steady or irregular, and the strength and timing of the electrical impulses passing through each part of your heart. |
