Your resting heart rate (RHR, the number of times your heart beats per minute while you are at rest) is one of the simplest cardiovascular measurements available to you. You do not need a lab draw or a clinic visit to check it. Yet at Toledo Cardiology Consultants, we rely on this single number every day as an efficient first window into how well your heart is working for patients across Toledo, Maumee, Perrysburg, Sylvania, and the surrounding Northwest Ohio region. If your

For patients in Toledo, Maumee, Perrysburg, Sylvania, and across Northwest Ohio who struggle to reach their LDL cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, the so-called "bad" cholesterol) goals despite statins, diet, and exercise, a meaningful new option has arrived. The FDA has approved enlicitide (Lipfendra), the first oral PCSK9 inhibitor (a medication that blocks a protein in the liver called PCSK9, allowing the body to remove more LDL from the bloodstream). At Toledo Cardiolo

Most cholesterol conversations in Toledo, Ohio focus on LDL (low-density lipoprotein, the so-called "bad" cholesterol) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein, the so-called "good" cholesterol). But there is a third particle that receives far less attention and carries significant cardiovascular risk: Lipoprotein(a), commonly written as Lp(a). As part of our approach to cholesterol management in Toledo, Ohio, Toledo Cardiology Consultants has been measuring Lp(a) in our patients fo

Toledo Cardiology Consultants, in partnership with Mercy Health, has reached a milestone in structural heart care: the successful performance of Ohio's first Transcaval TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement delivered through a vein-to-aorta pathway). This achievement means that patients in Toledo, Northwest Ohio, and the surrounding region, including Maumee, Perrysburg, Sylvania, and southeast Michigan border communities, now have access to a minimally invasive valve r

That sudden thump in your chest, the feeling that your heart just "skipped" a beat, or a brief fluttering sensation, these are among the most common reasons patients across Toledo, Northwest Ohio, and the surrounding Southeast Michigan border communities call Toledo Cardiology Consultants. In many cases, what they are experiencing is a PVC, or premature ventricular contraction (an extra heartbeat that originates in the lower chambers of the heart before the normal electrical

If you live in Toledo, Maumee, Perrysburg, Sylvania, or anywhere across Northwest Ohio, there is a good chance a nurse or medical assistant has wrapped a cuff around your arm and read out two numbers. Most patients nod and move on. At Toledo Cardiology Consultants, we believe those two numbers deserve your full attention, because understanding them is one of the most direct ways to protect your heart before serious damage occurs. WHAT THE TWO NUMBERS ACTUALLY MEASURE Blood pr

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF, an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm that increases the risk of stroke and heart failure), one of the most powerful steps you can take may not come in a prescription bottle. A large-scale study published in IJC Heart and Vasculature found that quitting smoking is directly associated with a meaningful reduction in AF risk. For patients seeking atrial fibrillation treatment in Toledo, Ohio, underst

If you have been asking your cardiologist in Toledo, Ohio what you should actually be eating to protect your heart, the answer from the medical evidence is consistent: a Mediterranean-style diet outperforms nearly every other dietary pattern studied for cardiovascular risk reduction. At Toledo Cardiology, we counsel patients across Northwest Ohio, from Maumee and Perrysburg to Sylvania and Bowling Green, on practical nutrition changes that complement their medical treatment.

For residents of Napoleon, Ohio and the surrounding Henry County communities, getting expert heart disease care close to home has been a priority for Toledo Cardiology Consultants since 2013. Through a sustained partnership with Henry County Hospital, our physicians have spent more than a decade bringing the same advanced cardiovascular medicine available in larger cities directly to Northwest Ohio's smaller communities, so patients never have to travel far to receive the car

Most people in Toledo, Northwest Ohio, and across Southeast Michigan know that smoking, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure raise the risk of coronary artery disease. What fewer people appreciate is how much time spent sitting, without meaningful physical activity to offset it, compounds those same risks. A large-scale meta-analysis (a pooled statistical analysis of multiple independent studies) published in the Annals of Internal Medicine and indexed on PubMed now puts
