Finding the “Why” To Your Heart Health Symptoms
According to the American Heart Association, “Heart disease and stroke claim more lives each year in the United States than all forms of cancer and Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease (CLRD) combined.”

Why is the Heart the 2nd Most Crucial Organ in the Body?
The heart holds significance as a crucial organ due to its essential role in sustaining our well-being. It circulates blood throughout our body, guaranteeing that our organs and tissues obtain sufficient oxygen and nutrients for optimal health and functionality. Being a necessary component of the cardiovascular and circulatory system, maintaining the heart’s health is vital. This involves implementing proactive measures to strengthen and promote the muscle’s well-being, contributing to a longer and healthier life.
It’s crucial to recognize that heart disease includes more than just heart attacks. It also involves conditions such as coronary artery disease (CAD), heart infections, heart failure, angina, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and others. Although many of these conditions can be effectively managed and may not pose an immediate high-risk for emergencies or life-threatening situations, prioritizing heart health brings long-term benefits.
Common Symptoms of Heart Problems
The most common symptoms in heart-related disorders can vary depending on the specific condition. However, some general symptoms that may be present in various heart disorders include:
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Swelling
- Nausea or vomiting
- Cold sweats
We Offer Hope for Many Common Heart Conditions
Our holistic approach provides support for most commonly supported heart-related diseases and conditions such as:
- Coronary artery disease (CAD): CAD occurs when the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque. It can lead to chest pain (angina), heart attacks, and other complications.
- Heart failure: Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. It can result from various underlying causes, such as CAD, high blood pressure, or heart muscle damage. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, fluid retention, and exercise intolerance.
- Arrhythmias: Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that can occur due to problems with the heart’s electrical system. They can manifest as rapid heartbeats (tachycardia), slow heartbeats (bradycardia), or irregular heartbeats. Common types include atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular tachycardia.
- Valvular heart disease: Valvular heart disease refers to conditions that affect the heart valves, which control the flow of blood through the heart chambers. It can involve valve stenosis (narrowing) or valve regurgitation (leakage). Common valve diseases include aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and mitral valve prolapse.
- Hypertension (high blood pressure): Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood pressure levels. Prolonged high blood pressure can strain the heart and lead to complications such as CAD, heart failure, and stroke.
- Cardiomyopathy: Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that affects its structure and function. It can be inherited or acquired and can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias, and other complications. Different types of cardiomyopathy include dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and restrictive cardiomyopathy.
- Congenital Heart Defects: Congenital heart defects are structural abnormalities present at birth. They can involve the heart walls, valves, blood vessels, or electrical system. These defects vary in severity and can cause various symptoms, depending on the specific abnormality.
- Myocardial Infarction (heart attack): A heart attack occurs when there is a sudden blockage of blood flow to a part of the heart muscle, usually due to a blood clot. It can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and damage to the heart muscle.
Ask yourself, would you want to wait until a dramatic heart event and then must go through procedures and a recovery process? Or would you much rather know that there is dysfunction with your heart and work correct it with lifestyle changes and nutrition before such event ever occurred?
The Ultimate Indicator: Heart Sound Recorder Analysis
The heart eats first, that is why Dr. Esther Jimenez pays close attention to the feedback from the heart. If you are nutritionally deficient and imbalanced, the heart will take all the nutrients it can, but you’ll still be deficient. We have three ways to give you a heart check.
The Heart Rate Variability Test: Measures the heart rate and gives us information about the status of the Autonomic Nervous System (the system that runs the body).
The Heart Sound Recorder: Observes changes in the heart’s frequency and helps us know what nutrients would be the most beneficial.
A Muscle Test: The ultimate test. Dr. Esther Jimenez verifies exactly what food, chemical, immune system, or environmental stressors are on the body and then gets the body rebalanced with the proper whole food nutrients along with essential dietary changes.
Certain types of heart stress can be monitored by visualizing the rate, rhythm and tone of the heart cycle. See real-time improvements in your graphs and heart function in just a few minutes while you are in the office.
How Do You Know If Your Hear Is Healthy and Nourished?
Discover the state of your heart’s health with the Heart Sound Recorder! This remarkable device captures the sounds from all four heart valves, providing insights into the condition of each valve and overall heart health.
By analyzing the Heart Sound Recorder’s sounds, Dr. Esther Jimenez D.C. MSACN, can gather information about the heart’s valves, chambers, and overall cardiac health. This can help in the early detection and identifying of conditions such as valve disorders, heart murmurs, congestive heart failure, or other cardiovascular diseases. Once a recording has been reviewed, Dr. Esther Jimenez D.C. MSACN is able to help handle the potential issues with whole food supplements regiments.
What sets the HSR apart is its ability to precisely identify nutritional needs of the heart for optimal functioning. This means we can determine the specific whole food supplements and dietary adjustments required to ensure the heart operates at its best.
It’s truly amazing to have such certainty about the nutritional support needed to keep the heart functioning as it should!
We can help improve your heart health and its overall well-being, as well as play a supportive role for conventional medical treatment in enhancing the quality of your life.
