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

A cardiologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions of 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. Bennett Salamon?

Your first visit with Dr. Salamon will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, conduct a physical exam, and perform an EKG. This will also include a discussion of lifestyle factors and risk factors, to create 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 by knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, being physically active, and eating a heart-healthy diet. These proactive 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 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.

What is Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), and is it dangerous?

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a common type of irregular and often rapid heartbeat. While the irregular rhythm itself isn't typically life-threatening, it significantly increases the risk of stroke. Dr. Salamon is an expert in managing AFib with medications and procedures to control the rhythm and prevent strokes.

What is a pacemaker, and who needs one?

A pacemaker is a small electronic device implanted under the skin to help regulate a slow or irregular heartbeat. It's needed when the heart's natural electrical system isn't working correctly, ensuring the heart beats at a proper, steady rate.

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 key non-invasive tool to detect potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

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

Peripheral artery disease (P.A.D.) is caused by atherosclerosis, the same process that leads to coronary artery disease. However, P.A.D. affects the arteries in the legs and feet. Having P.A.D. is a significant warning sign, strongly suggesting a high risk of heart attack and stroke.
