In the Forefront of CARDIOVASCULAR CARE

When it comes to concerns about your heart or circulation, it is imperative to seek care from well-trained medical professionals who possess vast experience, stay abreast of the latest advancements in the field, and provide appropriate care for your individual needs.

Vishnu Yelamanchi, M.D., FACC and Shrikanth Upadya, M.D., FACC, meet those criteria. In the past decade, both doctors have provided outstanding care to meet the needs of their cardiovascular patients. Now, they’ve joined forces by opening Cardiac and Vascular Consultants to be available to and better serve patients in Leesburg and The Villages.

Their vast array of comprehensive cardiovascular care includes consultative cardiology, diagnostic testing, cardiovascular screening and preventive (non-invasive and invasive) treatment options so their clients can enjoy optimal health and achieve an active lifestyle. As university-trained, boardcertified physicians, they possess the skill and knowledge to ensure any cardiovascular problem is thoroughly examined, completely understood, and successfully addressed.

Because Drs. Yelamanchi and Upadya diagnose and treat existing cardiovascular problems, patients enjoy a wealth of services under one roof. If necessary, both doctors have the capability to treat patients through procedures such as atherectomy and stenting. Stenting involves placing a small metal coil in a narrowed artery to improve blood flow. This procedure is performed in arteries of the heart, arteries of the neck for preventing stroke, and arteries of the leg to improve circulation. They also stent pelvic arteries in carefully selected patients to treat erectile dysfunction.

Their cardiovascular practice is one of the few to perform cardiac catheterizations through the wrist. Through this state-of-theart procedure, complications are drastically reduced, recovery time is improved and patients can sit up immediately after the procedure. They also screen and treat patients for peripheral artery disease, which is extremely important since 30 percent of people with this disease die within five years of diagnosis. This disease is treated through the use of balloon angioplasty or stents.

Most importantly, they blend oldfashioned, personalized care with comprehensive technology. For instance, their practice is one of a small number of practices worldwide to utilize the TandemHeart® stenting procedure in critically ill patients who have no other treatment options available. This is a shining example of how they go the extra mile in patient care and bring cutting-edge procedures to the area. Drs. Yelamanchi and Upadya spend quality time with their patients and get to know them on a personal level. This helps streamline patients’ disease management and overall care.
