Cardiovascular Risk Factors

  • A Family History Of Heart Disease.
  • Poor Eating Habits.
  • Lack Of Exercise Or A Sedentary Lifestyle.
  • High Stress.
  • Smoking.
  • Being Male.
  • Being Overweight.
  • Having Uncontrolled High Blood Pressure.

Types of Heart Diseases:

There are several types of heart disease, which can be divided into four groups:

Heart Valve Disease
Your heart has valves that control the flow of blood through its four chambers. You can be born with abnormalities in your heart valves, or they can be damaged by infection or changes that occur in your heart as a result of aging and poor lifestyle habits. Heart valve disease comes in two forms: stenosis, when the valves become too narrow for enough blood to pass through, and regurgitation, where the valve does not perform properly and allows blood to pass both forward and backward, instead of just forward. Your doctor can sometimes hear problems with your valves with a stethoscope as a heart murmur. Problems with your heart valves can lead to heart failure, in which one or more of the chambers of your heart cannot pump blood properly.
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary heart disease is when the blood vessels leading to your heart can become damaged or blocked up by plaques, which are made up of cholesterol, calcium, and other material. Partially blocked arteries can lead to angina, where you develop chest pain, often upon exerting yourself. A heart attack occurs when one of the arteries becomes completely blocked.

Cardiomyopathy (Heart Muscle Disease)
Many medical conditions directly or indirectly related to the heart, including coronary artery disease, diabetes, and heart valve disease, can eventually lead to damage to the heart muscles. When this happens, the muscles can no longer properly pump blood throughout your body. Eventually, this can lead to heart failure and arrhythmias.
Arrhythmias
Your heart needs to pump to a regular beat to effectively push blood throughout the body. When this beat becomes irregular, it’s called cardiac arrhythmia. People who have other heart problems are more susceptible to arrhythmias.

Signs Of A Heart Attack:

Heart attack symptoms that should send you immediately to the emergency room include a sudden onset of:
  • Crushing Chest Pain That May Radiate Down An Arm Or Into Your Neck Or Jaw.
  • Extreme Shortness Of Breath.
  • Stomach Distress.
  • Nausea And Vomiting.
  • Shortness Of Breath.
  • Weakness/Fatigue.
  • Leg Swelling.
  • Chest Pain, Especially With Exertion.

Diagnosis Of Heart Disease:

Your doctor can confirm the diagnosis of heart disease through a physical exam and one or more of many available tests, the most common of which are:
  • Electrocardiogram (EKG Or ECG).
  • Stress Test.
  • Echocardiogram.
  • Thallium Or Cardiolite Scan.
  • Holter Monitoring.
  • Cardiac Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan.
  • Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Treatments For Heart Problems:

There are several treatments for heart disease, and what your heart specialist chooses for you will depend on exactly what is wrong with your heart and how severe your problem is. Some treatment options include:
  • Medication.
  • Angioplasty.
  • Bypass Surgery.
  • Pacemaker.
  • Cardiac Catheterization And Coronary Angiography.
One of the most important treatments for heart disease is a lifestyle change. In addition to following your doctor’s advice about medication use, be sure to ask for advice about starting an exercise and diet plan.

What Is A Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction Or MI)?

A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when one or more regions of the heart muscle experience a severe or prolonged decrease in oxygen supply caused by blocked blood flow to the heart muscle.
The blockage is often a result of atherosclerosis – a buildup of plaque, known as cholesterol, and other fatty substances. Plaque inhibits and obstructs the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart, thus reducing the flow to the rest of the body.
If the blood and oxygen supply is cut off severely or for a long period of time, muscle cells of the heart suffer severe and devastating damage and die. The result is damage or death to the area of the heart that became affected by reduced blood.

What Are The Warning Signs Of Heart Attack?

The following are the most common symptoms of heart attack. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
  • Severe Pressure, Fullness, Squeezing, Pain And/Or Discomfort In The Center Of The Chest That Lasts For More Than A Few Minutes.
  • Pain Or Discomfort That Spreads To The Shoulders, Neck, Arms, Or Jaw.
  • Chest Pain That Occurs With Any/All Of The Following (Additional) Symptoms:
  • Shortness Of Breath.
  • Nausea Or Vomiting.
  • Dizziness Or Fainting.
  • Unexplained Weakness Or Fatigue.
  • Rapid Or Irregular Pulse.
  • Severe Stomach Upset That Comes On Abruptly.
Although chest pain is the key warning sign of a heart attack, it may be confused with indigestion, pleurisy, pneumonia, or other disorders. If you have any of the symptoms mentioned please seek medical advice.

Also, if you have a family history of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes or stroke, or if you are a heavy smoker, it is extremely important to have your heart checked on a yearly basis and monitor your blood pressure regularly. You must take it seriously and see any of our board certified Cardiologists today and book your appointment.

What is TAVR? (TAVI)

A TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation), also known as TAVR, is a minimally invasive heart procedure that replaces a narrowed or leaky aortic valve using a catheter (tube) inserted through a blood vessel, typically in the groin, avoiding open-heart surgery. A new valve, mounted on a stent, is delivered via the catheter, expanded to push the old leaflets aside, and immediately begins regulating blood flow, offering a quicker recovery, shorter hospital stays, and a safer option for high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis.

During this minimally invasive procedure, a new valve is inserted without removing the old, damaged valve. The new valve is placed inside the diseased valve. The surgery may be called a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
