A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Aamir Javaid provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Heart Attack (NSTEMI): A non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is a type of heart attack where blood flow to the heart is partially blocked, highlighting the importance of regular check-ups and managing risk factors to prevent more serious events.
• Nonrheumatic Mitral Stenosis: Regular cardiovascular screenings can help identify nonrheumatic mitral stenosis early, allowing for timely intervention to reduce the risk of heart damage and improve quality of life.
• Hypertensive Heart with Failure: Developing heart failure due to high blood pressure underscores the long-term consequences of uncontrolled hypertension; adopting healthy lifestyle changes and medical management can help avoid this serious outcome.
• Ventricular Septal Defect: A ventricular septal defect is a birth defect involving a hole in the heart's lower chambers; proper management and monitoring can significantly reduce the risk of future heart-related complications.
• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition where plaque buildup narrows your heart's arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke, but proactive lifestyle changes and medical care can significantly reduce these risks.
• Syncope: Syncope, or fainting, can be a sign of an underlying heart problem, so seeking medical attention promptly is crucial for preventing serious complications.
• Atherosclerosis of Aorta: Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) in the aorta can lead to serious cardiovascular events. By adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle and working with your doctor to manage risk factors, you can actively prevent or delay this condition.
• Heart Attack (Acute Myocardial Infarction): Early detection of heart attack symptoms is crucial for minimizing long-term damage to your heart, emphasizing the importance of proactive health management.
• Chronic Congestive Heart Failure: Preventing the worsening of chronic congestive heart failure involves regular check-ups with your doctor and adherence to a prescribed treatment plan to slow disease progression.
• Angina: Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart, and early recognition can help prevent a heart attack.
• Mitral Valve Stenosis: Regular monitoring and prompt treatment of mitral valve stenosis are key to preventing irreversible damage and maintaining good heart health.
• Hypertensive Heart Disease: Hypertensive heart disease develops when consistently high blood pressure strains your heart; early detection and treatment are vital to prevent further damage.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Aamir Javaid offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Treadmill Stress Test: Take charge of your cardiovascular health: a treadmill stress test provides valuable insights into your heart's response to stress, enabling early diagnosis and prevention of heart disease.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: As a proactive measure to prevent heart disease, a cardiac catheterization with robotic assist allows doctors to assess the health of your heart's arteries and identify areas of narrowing or blockage, preventing serious complications.
• HeartAware Online Risk Screening: Take charge of your heart health with HeartAware: a quick online screening that helps identify your risk for heart disease and stroke, allowing for early intervention.
• Arrhythmia Screening: Protecting your heart starts with knowing its rhythm: an arrhythmia screening can identify irregularities and allow for timely intervention.
• Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmias: Cardiac ablation is a procedure that can help prevent dangerous heart rhythms by correcting abnormal electrical signals in your heart.
• Insertion of Left Ventricular Lead for Pacemaker or Cardioverter and Defibrillator: This procedure places a lead in your heart's left ventricle to help your heart pump effectively and prevent serious complications like stroke or heart failure, improving your overall cardiac health.
• Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: Take a proactive step towards a healthier heart by undergoing a structural heart disease evaluation to detect potential problems early and prevent serious complications.
• Interventional Catheterization: Interventional catheterization is a valuable tool for detecting and treating issues like plaque buildup in your arteries, which is crucial for preventing strokes and heart attacks before they happen.
• Arterial Doppler Ultrasound: Protecting your future starts now: an arterial Doppler ultrasound helps identify artery issues before they cause symptoms, enabling prompt treatment and preventing potentially life-threatening complications.
• Cardiac Ultrasound: This heart screening uses sound waves to create pictures of your heart, allowing doctors to assess its health, detect abnormalities early on, and implement preventative measures.
• Endovascular Procedure: To proactively safeguard your heart health, an endovascular procedure may involve using catheters to access and repair narrowed or blocked blood vessels, reducing your risk of future cardiovascular events.
• Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (PAD): A PAD screening helps detect narrowed arteries in your legs and feet, allowing for early treatment to prevent serious complications like heart attack or stroke.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Aamir Javaid:

What is a Cardiologist, and when should I see one?

A cardiologist is a medical doctor specializing in the heart and blood vessels. You should see a cardiologist if you experience symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, have a family history of heart disease, or have risk factors like high blood pressure or high cholesterol that require expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Aamir Javaid?

Your first visit with Dr. Javaid will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, obtain an EKG, and discuss lifestyle and risk factors. This is the first step in creating a personalized heart health plan for you.

What are the most important things I can do to prevent a heart attack?

Taking control of your cardiovascular health is achievable. Knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key preventive steps. These actions empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

What is a cardiac ablation procedure?

Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat certain types of fast heart rhythms. A specialist uses catheters to identify and eliminate the small area of heart tissue causing the problem, often curing the arrhythmia, using heat or cold energy.

What is a stent, and how is it placed?

A stent is a tiny, wire-mesh tube that acts as a scaffold to prop open a blocked artery. It's placed during a minimally invasive procedure called an angioplasty, where a catheter is guided through a blood vessel in the wrist or groin to the heart.

What is the difference between 'good' (HDL) and 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol?

Good" (HDL) cholesterol is helpful, carrying "bad" (LDL) cholesterol away from the arteries. "Bad" cholesterol can build up, forming plaque and potentially blocking arteries. Dr. Javaid helps manage both types to prevent heart disease.

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how your heart functions during physical activity. You walk on a treadmill while your EKG and blood pressure are monitored. It's a crucial non-invasive tool for identifying potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

What is the purpose of cardiac rehabilitation?

Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program of exercise and education designed to help patients recover from heart conditions like heart attacks, stents, or heart surgery. It strengthens the heart, reduces risk factors, and helps patients safely regain their confidence and quality of life.
