Nervous about your stress test? Here's exactly what happens.

1️⃣ Wear comfortable shoes. We'll give you instructions on food, caffeine, and medications before your visit.
2️⃣ Small sensors are placed on your chest to track your heart's rhythm.
3️⃣ You walk on a treadmill that gradually speeds up. If you can't exercise, a medication safely makes your heart work harder instead.
4️⃣ Your cardiologist reviews how your heart handled the extra work.

A stress test shows us what a resting exam can't. It's performed in-office at Cross County Cardiology.

❤️ When it comes to diabetes and your heart, think small.

Most people think diabetes only affects the large arteries that can become blocked.

But one of the biggest dangers of diabetes happens in the tiny blood vessels you can't see.

These microscopic blood vessels deliver oxygen and nutrients directly to your heart muscle, nerves, eyes, and other vital organs. Over time, high blood sugar can damage these small vessels, reducing blood flow and increasing the risk of serious complications.

That's why diabetes is linked to:

❤️ Heart disease
👁️ Vision problems
🦶 Nerve damage (neuropathy)
😮💨 Shortness of breath
🫀 Poor circulation

While cardiologists can often treat blockages in the larger coronary arteries, the tiny blood vessels require a different approach. Protecting them starts with managing your diabetes through healthy lifestyle choices and working closely with your healthcare team.

The good news? You can make a difference.

🏃 Stay physically active.
🥗 Eat a heart-healthy diet.
🚭 Quit smoking.
💊 Take medications as prescribed.
🩺 Keep your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol under control.

At Cross County Cardiology, we help patients understand how conditions like diabetes affect the entire cardiovascular system—not just the arteries you can see. Prevention and early management are key to protecting your heart for years to come.

❤️ Healthy blood vessels—big and small—are the foundation of a healthy heart.

📞 If you have diabetes or concerns about your heart health, schedule an appointment with Cross County Cardiology today by calling (551) 357-0021.

❤️ Heart valve replacement has changed dramatically—and for many patients, that's life-changing.

Not long ago, replacing a heart valve almost always meant open-heart surgery, several days in the hospital, and a lengthy recovery.

Today, many patients may be candidates for a minimally invasive procedure called **Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)**.

Instead of opening the chest, a cardiology team can guide a new valve to the heart through a small catheter inserted in the groin. For the right patient, this approach can mean:

❤️ Smaller incisions
🏥 Shorter hospital stays
⏱️ Faster recovery
🚶 A quicker return to everyday activities

Perhaps the greatest advancement is that many patients who were once considered too high-risk for traditional surgery may now have a treatment option that wasn't available just a few years ago.

Heart valve care continues to evolve, with exciting innovations expanding treatment options for the aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves. Every patient is different, which is why choosing the right treatment starts with a personalized evaluation by an experienced heart team.

At Cross County Cardiology, we're committed to bringing the latest advances in cardiovascular care to our patients while helping them understand which options are right for their unique needs.

❤️ The future of heart valve treatment is here—and it's helping more people live healthier, more active lives.

📞 If you've been diagnosed with heart valve disease or are experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest discomfort, or dizziness, schedule an appointment with Cross County Cardiology today by calling **(551) 357-0021**.

❤️ Could sleep apnea be the hidden cause of your atrial fibrillation?

Many people think atrial fibrillation (AFib) is simply a heart rhythm problem.

But sometimes, the heart isn't the root cause.

One of the most overlooked contributors to AFib is **obstructive sleep apnea**—a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Many patients don't even realize they have it until a spouse notices loud snoring, restless sleep, or pauses in breathing.

Common signs of sleep apnea include:

😴 Loud snoring
😮💨 Gasping or choking during sleep
🌙 Restless nights
🥱 Excessive daytime fatigue
❤️ Recurrent episodes of atrial fibrillation

Treating AFib without addressing sleep apnea can be like taking pain medication while leaving a pebble in your shoe. You may treat the symptoms, but the underlying problem is still there.

At Cross County Cardiology, we look beyond the diagnosis to identify what's driving your condition. For many patients, evaluating and treating sleep apnea is an important part of managing atrial fibrillation and improving long-term heart health.

❤️ Sometimes the key to a healthier heart starts with a better night's sleep.

📞 If you've been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation or suspect you may have sleep apnea, schedule an appointment with Cross County Cardiology today by calling **(551) 357-0021**.

Ever had symptoms that disappear the moment you get to the doctor's office?

That's what heart monitors are for.

🔹 Holter monitor — worn for 24–48 hours, it records every single heartbeat.
🔹 Event monitor — worn for up to 30 days, it captures symptoms that come and go.

Both are small, wearable, and let you go about your normal day while we collect the data.

Ask us if a monitor is right for you.

❤️ The future of heart care isn't one-size-fits-all—it's personalized.

Interventional cardiology has advanced tremendously over the past decade. New technologies are helping cardiologists treat coronary artery disease with greater precision, often leading to faster recovery and improved outcomes.

Some of today's innovations include:

🫀 Advanced devices designed to treat heavily calcified coronary arteries, making blocked vessels easier to open.

💊 Drug-coated balloons that deliver medication directly to the affected area of the artery, helping treat certain blockages without leaving behind a permanent implant in select patients.

But technology is only part of the equation.

At Cross County Cardiology, every treatment plan is personalized because no two patients are alike. Your medical history, the severity of your disease, your lifestyle, and your personal goals all play an important role in determining the best treatment approach—whether that's medication, a minimally invasive procedure, lifestyle changes, or a combination of all three.

And treatment doesn't stop after a procedure.

Long-term success depends on managing the risk factors that contribute to coronary artery disease, including:

❤️ High blood pressure
🩺 High cholesterol
⚖️ Obesity
🚭 Smoking
🏃 Physical inactivity

Many patients who undergo minimally invasive heart procedures are back to enjoying the activities they love within days—but protecting those results requires an ongoing partnership between you and your cardiologist.

❤️ Advanced technology can restore blood flow.
Your healthy choices help protect it for years to come.

📞 If you have coronary artery disease or want to learn more about today's minimally invasive treatment options, schedule an appointment with Cross County Cardiology by calling (551) 357-0021.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a good time to check in on your heart, too.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the U.S. And your mammogram may offer a clue: some reports note breast arterial calcification (BAC), calcium buildup in the breast's arteries that research links to heart disease and stroke. BAC is not cancer, and it is not a sign of breast cancer.

If your report mentions BAC, our board-certified cardiologists can review your heart risk with you. Request a visit at the link in our bio or call (551) 357-0021.

Racing. Fluttering. Pounding. Skipping a beat.

Heart palpitations are common, and they're often triggered by caffeine, stress, dehydration, or poor sleep. But sometimes they point to an arrhythmia like atrial fibrillation.

Seek care right away if palpitations come with:
• Chest pain
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Fainting
• Shortness of breath

If they keep coming back, a simple EKG or Holter monitor can tell us what's going on.

Mitral valve prolapse affects about 2–3% of people — and most of them live normal, active lives.

With MVP, the flaps of the mitral valve bulge slightly backward as the heart pumps. Many people have no symptoms at all. Others notice palpitations, fatigue, or chest discomfort.

An echocardiogram tells us whether it simply needs monitoring or whether treatment makes sense.

Your mammogram may tell you something about your heart, too.

Some mammogram reports note breast arterial calcification (BAC): calcium buildup in the arteries of the breast. BAC is not cancer and is not a sign of breast cancer. But research links it to a higher chance of heart disease and stroke. In one study of more than 5,000 postmenopausal women, those with BAC were 51% more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke.

If BAC was noted on your mammogram:
1. Ask for a copy of your report.
2. Tell your primary care doctor or OB-GYN.
3. Schedule a cardiology visit to review your heart risk.

Our five board-certified cardiologists see patients in Edgewater, Secaucus, Teaneck, Hoboken, and North Bergen. Call (551) 357-0021 or the office nearest you to schedule.
