Dr. Cynthia’s Comprehensive Cardiovascular Evaluation
While most cardiovascular evaluation focuses only on the heart, the key component of the cardiovascular system is the circulation. In fact, the heart is in essence an outpouching of the vascular tree, albeit, with more sophisticated structures, chambers, valves and function. The circulatory system is comprised of the macrovascular (large arteries – aorta, carotid, brachial, femoral, and even coronaries to name a few) and microvascular system (all the tiny capillaries supplying the vital organs). If we were to line all the vessels within a human body into a linear line, the circulatory system would span sixty to one hundred thousand miles or three times around the globe. If we were to flail open the vessels and place them side by side, the total surface area of the vascular circulatory system would span six and a half tennis courts. The cardiovascular and endothelial system is in fact the largest organ within our bodies.
The cardiovascular system is comprised of the endothelium (lining of the blood vessel) and the neuromuscular component (the muscular arterial wall and the systemic nervous system controlling its function). A comprehensive cardiovascular examination must evaluate not only the heart (EKG, echocardiogram, stress test, nuclear scan), but the central vs peripheral pressures, cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance (ICG test), the endothelium (endoPAT test), the arterial waveform (MAX PULSE test) and autonomic regulation of the heart (Heart Rate Variability). In addition, we have a heart sound recorder (HSR) that is uses a very sophisticated microphone that records not just heart sounds but uses an accelerometer like that used in seismograph to detect earthquake vibrations. So while the EKG detects the electrical activity of the heart, the HSR detects the movement and function of the cardiac valves, and the tone or mechanical impulse of the heart contractility. Surprisingly, we have found that while the surface EKG might look normal, the underlying heart rhythm, rate and tone can look very abnormal and would not have been detected with an EKG, stethoscope, or even an echocardiogram.
Schedule Your Telehealth Consultation with Dr. Cynthia
If you’re living with atrial fibrillation and want to explore natural treatment options, Dr. Cynthia is here to help. She provides telehealth consultations to guide you through personalized care plans, addressing lifestyle changes, supplement use, and stress management techniques tailored to your unique health needs.
Dr. Cynthia Thaik will perform a thorough cardiovascular assessment, looking at cardiac function, ruling out structural damage, checking paroxysmal atrial fibrillation symptoms, assessing the adverse effects of hypertension and dietary toxicity (alcohol, caffeine, excessive inflammatory foods), checking for vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, and exploring the impact of stress on arterial tone and the autonomic nervous system regulation of the cardiovascular system.
The patient will have an option to receive individual coaching from a mindfulness instructor. Together, this integrative team approach to Afib will provide the patient with the best opportunity to address the root causes underlying the atrial fibrillation and hopefully restore normal sinus rhythm. As with all health conditions, our goal is to help Afib patients transition from symptoms and disease care to optimal health and wellness – true preventive cardiology.

Frequently Asked Questions
Regular palpitations can be a sign of atrial fibrillation. While this condition can continue for years without harm, a consistent increase in heart rate can cause heart enlargement. This is a hazard which can result in heart failure. Atrial fibrillation also comes with an increased risk of stroke from blood clots that can form as a result.
Without a solid understanding of the causes, it can be hard to definitively put a stop to heart palpitations. However, the treatments mentioned above: reducing stress and intake of stimulants, alcohol, and nicotine, exercising more, and eating a balanced diet, are all good steps forward. If your cardiologist determines that you have a more serious heart condition that may be life-threatening, it will require treatment. There are heart medications which can prevent more serious heart rhythm disorders. However, because of their significant side effects, they are not prescribed lightly. Consequences of misuse can lead to heart attacks, or even sudden death.
Some people experience heart palpitations after eating. While those palpitations may be attributable to an underlying medical condition, it is also possible that the food or beverage that was just consumed is responsible. Sugar can have this effect, particularly on hypoglycemic people. Alcohol is another common influence, particularly among those who have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Foods rich in tyramine or theobromine, such as cheese, red wine, bananas, and especially chocolate (which has both), can increase heart rate and may cause atrial fibrillation.
Actually, no. A more likely cause of heart palpitations is in fact low blood pressure. It is true that medication for high blood pressure can have a side effect of causing palpitations, which may be what is happening when someone with high blood pressure experiences palpitations.
