Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Adam Splaver:

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

A cardiologist is a medical expert 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. Adam Splaver?

Your first visit with Dr. Splaver will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, obtain an EKG, and discuss your 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 steps toward a healthier heart. These proactive measures empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

What is a heart murmur?

A heart murmur is an extra sound heard when listening to the heart. Many murmurs are innocent and harmless, but Dr. Splaver is an expert at determining the cause, often using an echocardiogram to see if the murmur is related to a heart valve problem that needs monitoring or treatment.

What is an echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram, or "echo," is a safe and painless ultrasound of your heart. It uses sound waves to create moving pictures of your heart, allowing Dr. Splaver to assess the strength of your heart muscle, check the function of your heart valves, and detect any structural problems.

What is a cardiac ablation procedure?

Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure to treat certain fast heart rhythms. A specialist uses catheters to locate and eliminate the problematic heart tissue with heat or cold energy, often resolving the arrhythmia.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

We aim to not just lower your blood pressure numbers, but prevent long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. Our approach is two-pronged: we start with foundational lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and then add medication as needed to safely reach your personalized target blood pressure.

What is a TAVR procedure?

TAVR, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, is a groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVR is performed through a catheter, leading to a much faster recovery for eligible patients.
