Yet, just because a person may not have clear-cut signals of heart trouble doesn’t mean a doctor can’t identify warning signs or risk factors. This is why groups like Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists (VCS) see diagnostic centers – like the one that will open in Midlothian on Oct. 1 – as so important. The 6,000-square foot offi ce will replace a much-smaller VCS center that lies directly across it at 13360 Hull Street. The new location will be staffed by a rotating pool of seven cardiac specialists, including the center’s primary physician, Dr. Ramesh Kundur, and will offer diagnostic tools such echocardiograms, stress testing, and EKG’s. Kundur says that people with a family history of heart disease – but without any symptoms themselves – should strongly consider getting screened. The other biggest risk factors, Kundur says, are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Any person with more than one risk factor, he says, should strongly consider having a stress test or another diagnostic procedure. Kundur says that PHOTO BY EMILY DARRELL. Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists primary physician, Dr. Ramesh Kundur. many people associate heart disease with chest pains; however, he said that many sufferers have no chest pain but experience other symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea, and even jaw pain. VCS, which has eight offi ces in the Richmond area, sees mostly patients who have been referred from primary care physicians. On Oct. 13, and again on Nov. 3, the new VCS offi ce will offer an open house from 9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Participants will have the chance to get their cholesterol and blood pressure tested, their body mass index taken, and will be evaluated for circulatory problems. All testing is free. To make an appointment, call Julie Miller at (804) 521-5815. 2765727-01 PARTING SHOTS Mitch and Alli Davis took PT to Hell’s Gate National Park in Naivasha, Kenya.
