• Aortic Valve Disease: Preventing serious consequences from aortic valve disease relies on identifying and addressing it early, often through routine screenings and lifestyle changes.
• Chronic Pulmonary Heart Diseases (incl. Pulmonary Hypertension): Don't underestimate the link between your lungs and your heart: proactive care for chronic pulmonary diseases is key to preventing cardiovascular issues.
• Hypotension: While high blood pressure is commonly known, low blood pressure (hypotension) can also be a risk factor for dizziness and falls, highlighting the importance of regular check-ups.
• Heart Disease: Heart disease is a group of conditions that affect your heart, and taking steps to prevent it through lifestyle changes and regular checkups can significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
• Pulmonary Hypertension: Managing pulmonary hypertension effectively reduces the strain on your heart and lungs, lowering your risk of stroke and other life-threatening events.

• Mitral Valve Disease: Protecting your heart means understanding mitral valve disease: regular checkups can help detect it early and minimize future problems.
• Hypertension: Early detection of high blood pressure is key to preventing long-term damage to your heart and blood vessels; regular monitoring is essential for proactive health management.

• Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of Heart or Chest: Protecting your future heart health starts with a cardiac MRI; this advanced imaging technique helps identify hidden conditions like blockages or abnormalities, allowing for prompt treatment and reducing your risk of stroke or heart attack.
• Cardiac Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: To proactively safeguard your heart health, a myocardial perfusion imaging test provides detailed pictures of your heart's blood flow, aiding in the early diagnosis of blockages that could lead to serious cardiovascular events.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: Take a proactive step towards heart health with a cardiovascular stress test; it checks how well your heart functions during physical activity to identify hidden risks of heart disease or stroke.
• Defibrillator Implantation: Protecting your heart's rhythm, a defibrillator implant helps prevent sudden death from irregular heartbeats, acting as a safety net for those at high risk.
• Peripheral Angioplasty: As a proactive step to maintain your circulatory health, peripheral angioplasty can restore blood flow to your extremities, relieving pain and preventing future issues.
• Endovenous Laser Treatment: Endovenous laser treatment is a non-surgical option to address varicose veins, helping prevent complications like skin ulcers and reducing pain, improving your overall leg health.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Asis Saha:

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 need expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Asis Saha?

Your first visit with Dr. Saha 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 steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

What is the purpose of cardiac rehabilitation?

Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program of exercise and education designed to strengthen the heart, reduce risk factors, and help patients safely regain their confidence and quality of life after a heart attack, stent, or surgery.

What is an echocardiogram?

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

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.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

We aim to not just lower your blood pressure numbers, but to prevent long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. This often starts with foundational lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and medication is added when needed to safely reach a personalized target blood pressure.

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, causing blockages. Dr. Saha helps manage both to prevent heart disease.
