A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Bryan Wilner 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:

• Pulmonary Hypertension: Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries leading to your lungs, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent serious complications like heart failure.
• Mitral Valve Disease: Early diagnosis of mitral valve disease is crucial, as treatment can significantly reduce the risk of stroke and other life-threatening events.
• Rheumatic Aortic Valve Disorders: Early diagnosis and appropriate management of rheumatic aortic valve disorders can help you slow or stop the progression of valve damage, leading to a better quality of life and preventing significant cardiac events.
• Heart Valve Disorders: Understanding your risk for heart valve disorders, particularly with family history, enables preventative strategies to maintain a healthy heart and avoid severe complications.
• Chronic Congestive Heart Failure: Chronic congestive heart failure means your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs, and preventing it involves managing risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes.
• Ventricular Fibrillation: Early detection of heart conditions that might lead to ventricular fibrillation, like coronary artery disease, is crucial for preventing this potentially fatal arrhythmia.
• Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis is a gradual buildup of plaque in your arteries, and understanding your risk factors early on can help prevent heart disease and stroke.
• Acute Congestive Heart Failure: Acute congestive heart failure is a serious condition where your heart suddenly can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs, highlighting the importance of proactive heart health management to prevent such emergencies.
• Chest Pain: Chest pain can be a sign of serious heart problems, so seeking medical attention promptly is crucial for preventing a heart attack or stroke.
• Atrial Fibrillation: Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is an irregular heartbeat that increases your risk of stroke, so early detection and treatment are crucial for prevention.
• 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.
• Second Degree Heart Block: Having a second-degree heart block means your heart's electrical system isn't working perfectly, leading to irregular heartbeats; proactive monitoring and treatment can significantly reduce your risk of stroke and other heart problems.

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. Bryan Wilner offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmias: Cardiac ablation is a procedure that precisely targets and corrects abnormal electrical pathways in your heart, reducing your risk of serious heart events.
• Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation: As a proactive measure against life-threatening heart rhythm disturbances, an ICD is implanted to monitor and correct irregular heartbeats, potentially saving your life.
• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): As a proactive step in managing your heart health, a cardiac catheterization provides detailed images of your heart's blood vessels, helping detect and treat issues that could lead to heart attack or stroke.
• 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 Ultrasound: A cardiac ultrasound is a simple yet powerful tool for preventing serious heart problems; it helps identify potential issues like weakened heart muscles or abnormal blood flow before they worsen.
• Cardioversion: If you experience irregular heartbeats, cardioversion is a treatment option that can help restore a normal rhythm and improve your long-term cardiovascular health.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): Don't wait for symptoms; proactively assess your heart health with an EKG, a simple test that can detect underlying issues and help prevent serious cardiovascular events.
• Electrophysiological Study: To proactively safeguard your heart health, an electrophysiological study helps identify hidden electrical issues in your heart that might cause dangerous arrhythmias, paving the way for appropriate treatment and reducing your risk of stroke or heart attack.
• Insertion of Left Ventricular Lead for Pacemaker or Cardioverter and Defibrillator: To help maintain a healthy heart rhythm and prevent sudden cardiac arrest, a small wire may be placed in your heart's main pumping chamber to monitor and regulate its electrical activity.
• 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).
• Tilt_Testing: Taking a proactive step toward better heart health, a tilt table test can help rule out heart rhythm issues that cause fainting or dizziness.
• Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: Take charge of your cardiovascular health with a vascular duplex ultrasound and plethysmography. This simple test provides crucial insights into your circulatory system, enabling early detection of conditions that could lead to a stroke or heart attack.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Bryan Wilner:

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. Bryan Wilner?

Your first visit with Dr. Wilner will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, conduct a physical exam, and perform an EKG. We will also discuss your lifestyle 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 involves managing blood pressure and cholesterol, avoiding smoking, incorporating regular physical activity, and adopting a heart-healthy diet. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack. By understanding and addressing these factors, you are actively shaping your heart health destiny.

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 is not usually life-threatening, it significantly increases the risk of stroke. Dr. Wilner is an expert in managing AFib with medications and procedures to control the rhythm and prevent strokes.

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

LDL, or "lousy" cholesterol, builds up plaque in your arteries, potentially causing blockages. HDL, or "healthy" cholesterol, helps remove LDL from the body. Dr. Wilner helps manage both to prevent heart disease.

What is a heart murmur?

A heart murmur is an extra sound heard when listening to the heart. Many murmurs are innocent and harmless; Dr. Wilner 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 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 necessary when the heart's natural electrical system isn't working correctly, ensuring the heart beats at a proper, steady rate.

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 surgery. It strengthens the heart, reduces risk factors, and helps patients safely regain their confidence and quality of life.
