Heart failure
Heart failure, also called congestive heart failure, is a condition in which the heart muscle has weakened and lost some of its capacity to provide blood and oxygen to the body. The symptoms, such as fatigue and shortness of breath, can make day-to-day activities challenging or difficult to complete.
The board-certified specialists at Middletown Cardiology Associates have extensive training and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure. We work hard to partner with our patients to craft a treatment plan that fits his or her individual needs, and provide the education necessary to help them manage their condition and improve their quality of life.
Arrhythmias
Arrhythmias are interruptions in the normal rhythm or rate of one’s heartbeat, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or out of sequence. Many arrhythmias are harmless, but some can be serious, as it can affect the supply of blood and oxygen to the body.
Middletown Cardiology Associates utilizes advanced methods to care for patients with arrhythmias. Our skilled physicians specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition, and will work with patients to develop a wellness plan that fits his or her lifestyle and medical needs.
Middletown Cardiology Associates now offers an A Fib clinic at its Middletown office dedicated to providing patients with individualized care from diagnosis to treatment. Learn more.
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease occurs when cholesterol and other material builds up and lines the walls of the arteries, restricting blood flow. Coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States.
Fortunately, there are not only the ways to treat coronary artery disease. There are things you can do to decrease your risk of developing it. The specialists and trained providers at Middletown Cardiology Associates take the risk of heart disease seriously and strive to construct effective care plans to help patients manage their condition and live their healthiest life.
Peripheral Artery Disease
Peripheral artery disease occurs when peripheral arteries, those to the legs, arms, and head, harden from a buildup of cholesterol and other material in the inner lining and restrict blood flow. It is most common in the legs, and symptoms include leg pain and cramping.
The board-certified specialists at Middletown Cardiology Associates have extensive training and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral artery disease. Our goal is to partner with our patients to build a treatment plan that fits his or her individual needs and provide the education necessary to help them manage their health and decrease their risk of disease.
Valvular Heart Disease
Valvular heart disease is a condition that affects the four valves of the heart, causing them to function improperly. When this occurs, the heart muscle is strained as it works harder to provide the necessary blood and oxygen to the body.
The experienced specialists and providers at Middletown Cardiology Associates are skilled in caring for patients with valvular heart disease. We employ advanced diagnostic tools and treatment methods to manage the disease and help our patients get back to doing the things they enjoy.

Bioconvertible IVC filter
For patients undergoing surgery who must stop taking blood thinners to dissolve blood clots in the legs, this device can help to prevent a life-threatening pulmonary embolism by blocking clots from reaching the heart and lungs. The filter is placed in the inferior vena cava (IVC), the large vein that travels toward the heart, for protection while the patient is off blood-thinning medication. Unlike conventional filters, the bioconvertible IVC filter remains in the body, eliminating the need for a second procedure to remove it. Dr. Khalid was the first in Southwest Ohio to utilize these new bioconvertible filters.
