For a highly qualified cardiologist in Queens and Brooklyn, New York, we invite you to Advanced Medical Care. Since 1998 we have been serving these communities with our expertise in cardiology and patient-centered care.
Heart and vascular diseases are especially common among older adults and the elderly population. We provide numerous diagnostic tests in our office to promptly diagnose and treat these conditions in our patients.
- Do you suffer from chest pain, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations?
- Do you have leg pain or swollen ankles or legs?
- Do you ever feel lightheaded, dizzy, or nauseous without explanation?
- Do you get frequent indigestion or heartburn?

If you said yes to any of these questions, we recommend you make an appointment to see Dr. Mikhail Kapchits at: 877-398-0444

Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP/ECP) Treatment
EECP/ECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) is a new, Medicare-approved, noninvasive, outpatient treatment for angina and coronary artery disease. When applied over a course of time, EECP/ECP reduces angina frequency, improves a person’s exercise capacity, and may even result in reduced need for medications. EECP is not a replacement for bypass surgery or angioplasty, but it is an alternative treatment for those patients who can no longer benefit from additional surgery or angioplasty, and for whom medical therapy has already been maximized.
Nearly everyone with coronary artery disease, angina, or congestive heart failure can benefit from EECP/ECP. It is particularly well-suited for people who:
- Are not candidates for surgery due to other medical conditions
- Are diabetic
- Do not want to undergo surgery
- Have already had angioplasty, stents, or bypass surgery, but their heart disease symptoms have returned or persisted
- Have small vessels (often women)
- Rely on medications or curtail their activities to avoid angina and other heart disease symptoms
- Physical Exam
- Blood Tests
- Electrocardiogram
- Echocardiogram
- Stress Tests (Stress Echocardiogram)
- Nuclear Stress Test
- Holter Monitor and Event Loop Monitoring
- Duplex Doppler Ultrasound
- Color Doppler Ultrasound
- Pulse Volume Recording (PVR)
