Triple board certified cardiologist Eli S. Levine, M.D., handles all matters of the heart, including stenting coronary and vascular blockages, cardiac imaging, congestive heart failure, valvular heart disease and more. He has one mission: to save lives.<\/p>\n
Dr. Levine is the founder of the Advanced Heart & Vascular Institute in Boca Raton. He is one of the highest-volume cardiac interventional operators in the country, performing a widearray of complex coronary and endovascular interventions. He is also involved in teaching residents and students at Florida Atlantic Universitys Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine and actively conducts original research through Excel Clinical Medical Trials.<\/p>\n
As interventional cardiologists, we are lucky to be in a unique position: We can diagnose cardiovascular problems, medically treat the disease and surgically intervene, if needed, he says. <\/p>\n
Caring for patients hearts is very personal for him. He was inspired to be a cardiologist after he witnessed his father having a heart attack.<\/p>\n
My father nearly died in front of me, Dr. Levine says. Within an hour, he received a stent in his coronary artery, saving his life. Thats when I became certain I would do interventional cardiology as my specialty.<\/p>\n
After years of prestigious education and multiple subspecialty fellowships, including an advanced cardiac-imaging fellowship at Yale University, where he trained with pioneers of nuclear cardiac imaging, Dr. Levine decided to start his own practice in order to provide highly individualized care without the worries that come with being employed by large corporations.<\/p>\n
Most procedures can be done in-house with state-of-the-art equipment, including 3-D echocardiography, nuclear stress testing, loop recorder implantation, arterial and venous ultrasounds, and venous ablations. Cardiac and endovascular interventions are done at Boca Raton Regional Hospital and Delray Medical Center. <\/p>\n
Patients come to the Advanced Heart & Vascular Institute with chest pains, unexplained shortness of breath, arrhythmias, palpitations and fatigue as well as for early heart disease detection and prevention.<\/p>\n
What I like about the heart is that its a very complex yet simple organ, Dr. Levine says. That, along with perpetually evolving technology, makes the specialty fascinating and worthwhile.<\/p>\n
