Viva Heart & Circulation
Viva Heart & Circulation is a primary-care program in Doral for adults who want to manage high blood pressure or high cholesterol and lower their heart risk. It also offers a first check of palpitations and leg veins.
About this program
A Viva provider checks your blood pressure. You go over your health history, family history, and medicines. Selected cholesterol testing may guide care; confirm assay, draw location, availability, and cost before nonurgent work.
Then you build a plan together. It can include home blood-pressure checks, food and activity changes, and medicine by class when it fits. For palpitations, the first visit covers your symptoms, an exam, and a review of medicines, caffeine, and other stimulants.
An ECG or a wearable heart monitor is coordinated when indicated. For leg veins, your provider checks swelling and vein symptoms. Sclerotherapy is a possible option for selected small veins; confirm provider, supplies, location, and cost before treatment.
Deeper problems go to a vascular specialist. Some follow-ups can be done by video. To book, request an appointment online and mention heart and circulation.
Bring your home readings and medicine list. Chest pain, fainting, or sudden shortness of breath needs 911, not a routine visit.

Insurance informationSee how to bookFrequently asked questions
What blood pressure is considered high?
Under current U.S. guidelines, blood pressure is high when the top number is 130 or higher or the bottom number is 80 or higher. A top number of 120 to 129 with a bottom number under 80 is elevated. One reading is not enough to make a diagnosis. Your provider confirms the pattern with repeat checks in the clinic and often with home readings before deciding on a plan.
How do I take an accurate blood pressure at home?
Sit quietly for five minutes with your back supported and feet flat. Rest your arm at heart level and use a cuff that fits your upper arm. Skip caffeine, exercise, and smoking for 30 minutes before. Take two readings a minute apart, morning and evening, and write them down. Bring your log and your monitor to your visit so your provider can check both.
How often should I have my cholesterol checked?
Testing frequency depends on cardiovascular risk, prior results, and treatment. Diabetes, high blood pressure, or early family heart disease may change timing. Confirm method, draw location, availability, and cost before nonurgent testing; outside coordination may be needed. Discuss results and reassessment.
My heart races or skips beats. Should I book a visit?
Palpitations are common. They are often linked to caffeine, alcohol, poor sleep, or some medicines, but they can also point to a rhythm problem. If they come with chest pain, fainting, or shortness of breath, call 911. Otherwise, a visit lets your provider review your symptoms and medicines, examine you, and coordinate an ECG or a wearable monitor when indicated.
Do you treat varicose veins?
Sclerotherapy may suit selected small veins after assessment; confirm provider, supplies, location, cost, and follow-up before nonurgent treatment. Website listings do not establish clinical delivery. Larger veins or suspected deeper disease may need outside vascular assessment and ultrasound. Viva does not provide full vascular surgery. Sudden painful swelling in one leg needs emergency care.
Will I need medicine for high blood pressure or cholesterol?
Activity, less salt, limiting alcohol, and avoiding tobacco may help. Your provider reviews overall risk before discussing blood-pressure or cholesterol-lowering medicine classes. Follow-up checks response and adverse effects.
Urgent symptoms
- Chest pain, pressure, or tightness, especially with sweating, nausea, or pain in the arm, jaw, or back
- Fainting, or palpitations with chest pain or shortness of breath
- Sudden weakness or numbness on one side, a drooping face, or trouble speaking
- A very high blood-pressure reading with severe headache, confusion, or vision changes
- One leg that is suddenly swollen and painful, or cold and pale
- If you have any of these, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Call 911 for a life-threatening emergency.
Urgent guidance →When we refer
High blood pressure that stays high on several medicines, a suspected hidden cause of high blood pressure, or worrying heart findings are coordinated with cardiology. Significant rhythm problems, fainting with warning signs, or structural heart disease need cardiology, a heart-rhythm specialist, or urgent evaluation. A possible blood clot or poor artery flow in the legs needs prompt specialist or emergency care, and Viva does not offer a cardiology department, heart procedures, or full vascular surgery.
