At BKLYN Cardio, we encourage routine monitoring and care of your cardiac health as a strategy to prevent complications related to cardiovascular diseases. This proactive approach also enables us to detect any irregularities or changes in your heart health early on, allowing for prompt intervention and comprehensive treatment.
Routine monitoring and care benefit patients with known heart conditions, those at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, or those recovering from cardiac procedures.
During your routine screenings with BKLYN Cardio, we perform medical tests, review your dietary choices and lifestyle, and provide helpful health tips. Our routine monitoring and care service also includes remote patient monitoring, pacemaker clinic, and wellness and prevention tips.
Cardiovascular monitoring is a series of medical examinations and tests to check the health of your heart and vascular system. At BKLYN Cardio, routine monitoring includes the following medical examinations, tests, and devices:
The frequency of examinations depends on several factors, including your age, current state of health, and medical history.
The benefits of routine monitoring include:
Over 8 million patients with chest pain and/or anginal equivalent symptoms come to emergency departments in the USA each year. Routine monitoring can play a pivotal role in mitigating the incidence of cardiac emergencies and alleviating the burden on hospital admissions. It can also enable healthcare providers to identify people at high risk of developing cardiac conditions and offer personalized preventive strategies, thereby reducing the likelihood of emergencies and hospitalizations.
At BKLYN Cardio, our remote patient monitoring service extends beyond traditional in-office visits. With our telehealth service, we can conduct your health assessments regardless of where you are located.
We offer several types of remote monitoring for people with cardiovascular conditions:

Moreover, patients are less exposed to infectious agents by avoiding crowded waiting rooms at clinics.
A pacemaker is a small electrical device that helps regulate the heart's rhythm. They may be of two types.
A temporary pacemaker is typically inserted in the neck and remains outside your body. While a permanent pacemaker is surgically placed in your chest or abdomen.
A pacemaker can be used to treat conditions such as bradycardia (a slow heart rate) or irregular heart rhythms. The pacemaker sends electrical impulses to the heart to help it maintain a normal rhythm. It can also monitor the heart's activity and adjust the pacing as needed to ensure it beats properly.
Our pacemaker clinic offers comprehensive care, including regular follow-up appointments, battery replacements, troubleshooting, and adjustments as needed.
After your pacemaker is placed, your doctor will advise you on the frequency of follow-up appointments. Typically, a complete pacemaker check should be done six weeks after implantation.
Follow-ups are recommended every three to six months to monitor the device’s battery life and proper functioning. During these visits, we will evaluate your symptoms and overall response to determine if any adjustments are required.
Our team specializes in fine-tuning your pacemaker to ensure it properly stabilizes your heart rhythm. It is advised that you should get your pacemaker checked at least once a year.
We will thoroughly check your pacemaker and adjust it to fit your needs. If you notice symptoms such as chest muscle twitching, slow heartbeat, or irregular palpitations, reach out to us for prompt assistance to resolve these concerns.
Most pacemakers need a battery replacement every 5 to 15 years. Timely replacement is important to avoid device failures and cardiac issues. During routine follow-ups, we check the battery and functioning of your device. Battery replacement is a simple procedure, and our team can assist you if they detect any malfunctioning in your device.
At BKLYN Cardio, we emphasize early detection and intervention before the initial symptoms appear. Our team guides you to adopt heart-healthy strategies by providing tips on the following:
During your evaluations, our team will provide personalized advice on how lifestyle modification and heart-healthy approaches can help you avoid cardiovascular disease and manage your current condition.
