Residents will
soon have a
nearby option
for heart health
By Emily Darrell
Staff Writer
A heart attack: for many people, this is the
fi rst not-so-subtle symptom of heart disease.
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

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.
