Riverside Medical Clinic's Cardiology department provides state-of-the-art cardiology and cardiac testing services for our patients in Riverside County and the surrounding areas. Our cardiologists, Dr. Samuel Kumar, Dr. Joseph Quan, and Dr. Houshang Karimi, treat patients with all cardiology problems and diseases.

Cardiac testing may not always be required when you first come in to see your cardiologist. In fact, your primary care physician may refer you to the Cardiology department to obtain a cardiologist's diagnosis. The cardiologist will review all testing performed by your primary care physician before having you repeat any test. A cardiologist may simply place a patient on a diet. There are other procedures performed to obtain an accurate diagnosis, some of these are done the same day in the office. For others, you are sent home with special equipment for a period of time.

Our Cardiac Testing department is staffed with cardiac technicians highly trained in performing any required test your cardiologist has requested. Our cardiac technicians will provide you with instructions you will need to know to perform your test and to ensure your well-being. Your may be requested to come in early so that preparation can be made for the testing. With most testing you perform your heart rate and blood pressure will be monitored and documented. The Cardiac Testing department also has pamphlets explaining each procedure. You can pick up a pamphlet before your scheduled procedure in the Cardiac Testing department.
