Heart & Wellness Center

What Heart & Wellness Center does

Heart & Wellness Center is a private, physician-owned cardiology group practice founded in 2017 and headquartered in National City, California, delivering comprehensive cardiovascular care across four clinic locations in San Diego County (National City, Chula Vista, City Heights, and El Cajon). The practice is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of board-certified specialists covering cardiovascular disease, interventional cardiology, cardiac electrophysiology, heart failure, vascular disease, and geriatric medicine, supported by physician assistants and nurse practitioners certified through the American College of Cardiology and AANP. Its service portfolio spans routine diagnostics (EKG, vascular ultrasound, stress testing, electrophysiology studies), interventional procedures (PCI, stenting, atherectomy, angioplasty, Watchman, TAVR, TMVR, catheter ablation, ICD/pacemaker insertion), and specialty clinics (cardiovascular oncology, blood pressure clinic, stat consultation), with IAC-accredited facilities and multilingual delivery across English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, Farsi, Polish, and Arabic. The business operates on a fee-for-service professional services model billed through health insurance, with patient acquisition driven by direct scheduling (phone, WhatsApp, web), physician referrals, and a clinical affiliation with Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center (where Dr. James Kim serves as Chair of Cardiology). Marketing and patient education are supported through the practice website, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, and the practice positions itself as the most accessible cardiovascular facility group in the region for San Diego County's linguistically diverse communities.

Products and services

• Electrocardiogram (EKG) Test that records the electrical activity of the heart to detect problems with heart rhythm and structure.
• Cardiovascular Consultation Consultation with a cardiologist to assess symptoms, medical history, risk factors, and develop a treatment plan for cardiovascular health.
• Exercise Nuclear Test Nuclear stress test to evaluate blood flow to the heart muscle during rest and exercise using radioactive tracers.
• Vascular Ultrasound Medical imaging test using high-frequency sound waves to produce images of blood vessels and blood flow.
• Cardiac Catheterization Procedure using a catheter inserted into blood vessels to measure heart pressures, evaluate heart function, visualize arteries, and perform interventions like angioplasty and stenting.
• Cardiovascular Electrophysiology Testing Specialized diagnostic procedure to evaluate electrical activity of the heart and identify abnormalities causing irregular heartbeats, including ECG, Holter monitor, event monitor, and electrophysiology studies.
• Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Minimally invasive procedure to treat narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, also known as coronary angioplasty or balloon angioplasty.
• Stenting Medical procedure to place a stent in narrowed or blocked blood vessels to restore normal blood flow.
• Angioplasty Procedure to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins by inserting a balloon catheter to compress plaque and restore blood flow, often with stent placement.
• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Minimally invasive procedure to treat aortic valve stenosis by replacing the narrowed aortic valve via catheter without open-heart surgery.
• Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVR) Minimally invasive procedure used to treat mitral valve regurgitation by repairing the valve without open-heart surgery.
• Watchman (Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion) Minimally invasive treatment option for patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) at risk of stroke. The Watchman device seals off the left atrial appendage (LAA) to prevent blood clot formation.
• Pacemaker Insertion Surgical procedure to implant a pacemaker device into the chest or abdomen to regulate slow heart rhythms.
• Defibrillator Insertion Surgical procedure to implant an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device to monitor and regulate heart rhythm.
• Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias Minimally invasive procedure using catheters to deliver energy (radiofrequency or cryotherapy) to treat abnormal heart rhythms by destroying tissue causing the arrhythmia.
• Cardioversion Medical procedure to restore normal heart rhythm through either controlled electric shock (electrical cardioversion) or medications (chemical/pharmacological cardioversion).
• Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Management Comprehensive management of cardiovascular disease conditions including coronary artery disease, hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, and peripheral artery disease.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Treatment Treatment for peripheral artery disease, a circulatory condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, typically the legs.
• Varicose Vein Therapy Treatment to alleviate symptoms and improve appearance of varicose veins, which are swollen and enlarged veins visible under the skin.
• Carotid Artery Stenting Minimally invasive procedure to treat carotid artery stenosis by placing a stent to open narrowed arteries supplying blood to the brain.
• Myocardial Biopsy Medical procedure to obtain a small sample of heart muscle tissue (myocardium) for diagnostic purposes.
• Expedited Pre-Operative Cardiac Clearance Cardiology evaluation conducted prior to surgical procedures to ensure patient cardiac safety and health.
• Cardiovascular Oncology Subspecialty managing cardiovascular complications in cancer patients resulting from chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy treatments.
• Blood Pressure Clinic Clinic focused on measuring, monitoring, and treating blood pressure levels to maintain cardiovascular health and reduce disease risk.
• Stat Consultation Immediate, urgent medical consultation for patients with suspected or known cardiovascular conditions requiring time-sensitive evaluation and treatment.
