Echocardiography

Here at Vimal Nanavati, MD, we are proud to offer echocardiogram, also known as “echo”, services to our patients. During this test, we will monitor the heart’s movement and overall functionality using ultrasound technology to capture pictures of the heart’s chambers and valves.

We will often utilize Doppler ultrasound and color Doppler to observe and evaluate blood flow. Patients may need an echocardiogram for a variety of reasons such as detecting heart disease, evaluating the effectiveness of treatment, and monitoring changes in heart function over time.

For more information about echocardiograms or to schedule an appointment, contact us today.

Stress Testing

At Vimal Nanavati, MD, we are proud to provide stress testing services to our patients. Stress testing is important for understanding how well the heart is functioning. This test is most frequently performed on a treadmill using an EKG machine to monitor heart performance when you are active.

Prior to your appointment, you should get a good night’s rest and avoid caffeine or stimulants before your test. We ask that you wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and tennis shoes.

Be sure to consult with your doctor prior to making your appointment to discuss any medications that may need to be temporarily discontinued.

Patient Stories

I developed heart problems when I lived in Redding during the early 2000’s. At the time, I was in the position of asking the teaching staff in the nursing program at Shasta College to recommend a cardiologist. To the person, their enthusiastic response was to go to Dr. Vimal Nanavati, which I did. He diagnosed my condition as needing heart bypass surgery. That procedure was performed in 2001.

I continued with Dr. Nanavati until I moved from Redding to Southern California a few years later. Around the same time, Dr. Nanavati relocated his practice to San Diego. Even though I was living some three-plus hours away, I continued with Dr. Nanavati as my cardiologist. Most recently, he has again relocated his practice, this time back to Redding. When I asked him why are you moving back to Redding, his reply:“It’s home for me.” Even given what would be a 10+ hour drive from where I live to Redding, I will continue with him as my primary Cardiologist.

Why, you might ask, am I so dedicated to Dr. Nanavati? There must certainly be other cardiologists where you live. Is he so extraordinary that he warrants following him 600 miles away?
