Protect Your Heart with Expert Cardiovascular Care
Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when the arteries supplying blood to your heart become narrowed or blocked by plaque buildup. It’s the leading cause of heart attacks and one of the most serious cardiovascular conditions affecting millions of Americans.
At St. Petersburg Primary Care, we provide comprehensive screening, diagnosis, and treatment for coronary artery disease with personalized care strategies designed to reduce your risk and improve your heart function.
Common Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease can develop slowly over years, and many people don’t realize they have it until they experience chest pain or a heart attack. Early detection is critical to preventing life-threatening complications and managing your heart health effectively.
Key Symptoms to Watch Out For:
- Chest pain or discomfort (angina)
- Shortness of breath during activity
- Pain in the neck, jaw, shoulders, or back

- Nausea or sweating
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
