Practice Information
Heart Health Specialists, LLC

Heart Health Specialists has assembled a dedicated team of cardiologists to provide leading cardiac care to patients in the St. Louis area and beyond. Our physicians are experts in diagnosing, treating, and preventing heart disease and have been recognized on “best doctors” lists both nationally and locally. The Heart Health Specialists practice is part of St. Luke’s Hospital’s Heart and Vascular Institute, which is now in alliance with Cleveland Clinic’s Heart and Vascular Institute, ranked No. 1 in the nation for heart care since 1995 by U.S. News & World Report.

Heart Health Specialists includes Dr. Craig Reiss, Dr. Vikram Agarwal, Dr. Keith Mankowitz and Dr. Brittany Dixon, as well as nurse practitioner Stephanie Lickerman. The Heart Health Specialists office is also the home of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center and the Athlete Screening Center at St. Luke’s Hospital. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic heart disease, affecting 1 in 500 people, and is the leading cause of heart-related sudden death in people under the age of 35. HCM is caused by thickening of the walls of the heart muscle due to the body making excessive heart muscle tissue. HCM is a treatable heart condition with management strategies available for all of its complications. The Athlete Screening Center evaluates athletes and active adults or potentially dangerous heart conditions.

The screening includes a focused history and physical examination, an electrocardiogram, and an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart). At Heart Health Specialists, the goal is to see patients in a timely fashion. The physicians and caring staff look forward to being your partner and treating you with the same level of skill and respect that they would want for their own families.
