Knowing the warning signs can save your life:
Chest pain or pressure
Shortness of breath
Discomfort or tingling in the arms, back, neck, shoulder, or jaw
Feeling lightheaded

Women may also experience symptoms like heartburn-like discomfort, unusual tiredness, sudden dizziness, nausea or vomiting, and cold sweats.

Don’t wait, call 911 immediately if you think you’re having a heart attack. Many patients, especially women, delay seeking care.

At Coastal Cardiovascular Associates, your heart is our business. Our team specializes in:
❤Preventive Cardiology
❤ Cardiac Screenings & Diagnostics

We love hearing feedback from our patients, especially thoughtful reviews like this one! At Coastal Cardiovascular Associates, our patient-centered focus means you always receive care that’s personal.

"I have known Dr. Buchanan since the late 1990s. He is an exceptional cardiologist. He is knowledgeable, kind, patient, and a man of faith. When I call, he or his excellent staff responds immediately to my concerns. I am a high-anxiety type of person, and he always replies quickly in a patient, caring manner. During a visit, I never feel rushed. He gives me the time I need to listen and respond to my questions. I have and will continue recommending Dr. Buchanan to my friends and family with cardiac issues. They are always grateful for suggesting him."
