Physicians Regional Healthcare System is excited to welcome George Yiachos, M.D., to their medical staff. Dr. Yiachos joins our other highly skilled cardiologists and cardiac disease specialists at Physicians Regional – Pine Ridge.
Cardiology is a branch of internal medicine that studies, diagnoses and cares for the heart. Since the heart is so multifaceted, cardiologists must also consider arteries or blood vessels when treating it.
Dr. Yiachos completed his medical degree at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and his residency at Winthrop University Hospital. He specializes in Cardiovascular Disease and Functional Medicine—a biology-based approach to identifying a disease’s root cause. In addition, he is Board Certified in Cardiovascular Disease.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in American adults, but we can combat it. Dr. Yiachos treats coronary artery disease, angina, arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, cardiomyopathy, conduction disorders, endocarditis, heart failure, high blood pressure, pericarditis and tachycardia.
Even if you have a healthy heart history, a cardiologist like Dr. Yiachos can help you prevent future heart conditions. It is crucial to determine your risk factors, such as high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes or smoking. According to the CDC, half of Americans have at least one of these top risk factors, and someone dies every 36 seconds from cardiovascular disease.
For Yiachos, treating the heart is all about helping people. “I want to help patients achieve optimal health and reclaim their vitality,” he said. He’s proven that through 28 years of serving patients in Florida and New York.
When Dr. Yiachos is not caring for our hearts, the closest things to his heart are amateur piloting, studying self-defense and spending time with his family. He is now accepting new patients.
So, isn’t it worth lowering your risk level? Our Accredited Echocardiography Centers offer advanced surgical equipment and technologies, allowing a range of interventional cardiology procedures, including minimally invasive structural heart procedures. These services include coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair or replacement, as well as aortic, carotid and thoracic procedures.
Physicians Regional is thrilled to offer the extraordinary capabilities from this state-of-the-art cardiac center to the ever-growing SW Florida Community.
