• Chronic Venous Embolism Thrombosis: Managing chronic venous embolism thrombosis focuses on preventing future blood clots from forming in the veins and traveling to your lungs, thereby preventing serious health consequences; it involves lifestyle modifications and potential long-term medication.
• Acute Endocarditis: Early diagnosis and treatment of heart valve infections like acute endocarditis can prevent life-threatening complications and improve long-term cardiovascular health.
• Mitral Valve Regurgitation: Preventing complications from mitral valve regurgitation involves proactive steps such as regular checkups, medication adherence, and adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle.
• Heart Attack (STEMI): A STEMI, a life-threatening heart attack, underscores the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment to restore blood flow to the heart, improving survival rates and reducing complications.
• Hypertensive Heart without Failure: Hypertensive heart disease, without heart failure, means your high blood pressure is affecting your heart's structure, highlighting the importance of early blood pressure control to prevent further damage.
• Tricuspid Valve Disease: Taking care of your heart means being aware of conditions like tricuspid valve disease. Managing this condition helps safeguard against future heart complications and promotes a healthier heart.
• Cor Pulmonale: By addressing and treating lung conditions promptly, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing cor pulmonale, a heart complication linked to lung disease.
• Hypertensive Heart Disease: Hypertensive heart disease is a serious condition resulting from uncontrolled high blood pressure; proactive blood pressure management is your best defense.
• 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.
• Acute Congestive Heart Failure: Managing existing heart conditions and adopting a healthy lifestyle can help prevent the sudden onset of acute congestive heart failure, ensuring a better quality of life and reducing your risk of hospitalization.
• Hyperlipidemia: Don't let high cholesterol sneak up on you—hyperlipidemia often has no symptoms, so regular blood tests are vital for early detection and prevention.
• Atrial Fibrillation: Preventing atrial fibrillation complications starts with understanding your risk factors and taking proactive steps to manage this irregular heartbeat.

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

• Peripheral Artery Catheterization: To proactively monitor your heart health, a peripheral artery catheterization provides a detailed look at the arteries in your limbs, helping diagnose and prevent conditions like peripheral artery disease (PAD).
• Thrombolysis: Thrombolysis is a treatment that can quickly dissolve blood clots causing heart attacks or strokes, significantly improving your chances of recovery and preventing long-term damage.
• Tilt_Testing: Tilt table testing helps doctors identify the cause of fainting or dizziness, potentially preventing serious heart-related complications.
• Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (PAD): Take charge of your heart health with a PAD screening; it's a simple test that can identify circulatory problems early, preventing future heart and limb issues.
• Cardiac Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: This imaging test helps doctors pinpoint areas of reduced blood flow to your heart, allowing for timely intervention and prevention of serious complications like heart attacks and strokes, making it a crucial step in proactive heart care.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: This non-invasive test evaluates your heart's response to stress, allowing for early diagnosis of coronary artery disease and helping prevent serious heart events.
• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): This procedure involves a thin tube inserted into your blood vessels to visualize your heart and coronary arteries, helping identify potential problems before they cause serious symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
• Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: This non-invasive screening, combining vascular duplex ultrasound and plethysmography, gives your doctor valuable information about the condition of your blood vessels, allowing for timely intervention and prevention of serious cardiovascular events.
• Tilt Table Testing: Taking a proactive step towards better heart health, tilt table testing helps identify underlying conditions that might cause fainting, helping you prevent falls and injuries.
• Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmias: As a preventative measure, consider cardiac ablation if you experience palpitations or irregular heartbeats; it can restore a normal heart rhythm.
• Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: A pharmacologic nuclear stress test is a safe and effective way to proactively check your heart's health by evaluating blood flow to detect potential problems early, before they become serious.
• Insertion of Left Ventricular Lead for Pacemaker or Cardioverter and Defibrillator: As a proactive step toward a healthier heart, this procedure implants a device that monitors your heart's rhythm and can deliver shocks to correct potentially life-threatening irregularities.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Anil Verma:

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 requiring expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Anil Verma?

Your first visit with Dr. Verma will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will 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. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of heart attack.

How is Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D.) related to heart disease?

Peripheral artery disease (P.A.D.) is caused by the same process as coronary artery disease—atherosclerosis (plaque buildup). However, P.A.D. affects the arteries in the legs and feet. Having P.A.D. is a significant warning sign, indicating a very high risk for heart attack and stroke.

What is heart failure?

Heart failure means the heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as it should, not that it has stopped working. It's a chronic condition that can be managed with medications and lifestyle changes, and Dr. Verma will work with you to improve your heart function and reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

Dr. Verma's approach to high blood pressure focuses on preventing long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. We start with personalized lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and if needed, add medication to safely reach your personalized target blood pressure. This two-pronged approach helps manage your blood pressure and protect your overall health.

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 plaque, potentially blocking blood flow. Dr. Verma helps manage both types to prevent heart disease.

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 locate and eliminate the problematic heart tissue using heat or cold energy, often resolving the arrhythmia.
