• Sick Sinus Syndrome: Sick sinus syndrome is a heart rhythm disorder where your heart's natural pacemaker doesn't work properly, making early detection and management crucial to prevent serious complications like fainting or heart failure.
• Chronic Pulmonary Heart Diseases (incl. Pulmonary Hypertension): Protecting your heart starts with healthy lungs: managing chronic pulmonary diseases helps avoid future heart problems and complications.
• First Degree Heart Block: Early detection of first-degree heart block allows for proactive lifestyle changes and monitoring to prevent potentially dangerous complications later in life.
• Atherosclerosis: Managing atherosclerosis effectively means proactively lowering your risk of heart attack and stroke through lifestyle changes and medical intervention.
• Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes, and catching it early through regular checkups can help prevent serious complications like stroke.
• Hypertensive Heart with Failure: If you have hypertensive heart disease and heart failure, it signifies that your high blood pressure has severely impacted your heart's function; consistent blood pressure monitoring and treatment are essential to prevent further damage.

• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): Cardiac catheterization allows doctors to accurately assess the health of your coronary arteries, helping prevent future heart attacks and strokes by enabling early detection of blockages and enabling appropriate treatment.
• 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.
• Cardiac Ultrasound: This heart screening uses sound waves to create pictures of your heart, allowing doctors to assess its health, detect abnormalities early on, and implement preventative measures.
• 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): Take charge of your heart health with an EKG—a quick, painless test that screens for irregular heartbeats and other abnormalities that could lead to life-threatening conditions.
• Tilt_Testing: As a preventative measure, tilt table testing can assess your risk of syncope (fainting), which could be linked to underlying heart problems.
• Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: Take charge of your cardiovascular health with a vascular duplex ultrasound and plethysmography.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Cameron Kemal:

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 if you have risk factors like high blood pressure or high cholesterol that require expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Cameron Kemal?

Your first visit with Dr. Kemal will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, conduct 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. These steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

What is a stent, and how is it placed?

A stent is a tiny, wire-mesh tube that acts as a scaffold to prop open a blocked artery in the heart. It's placed during a minimally invasive procedure called an angioplasty, where a catheter is guided through a blood vessel in the wrist or groin to the heart.

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

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.

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how your heart performs during physical activity. You'll walk on a treadmill while your EKG and blood pressure are monitored. It's a key non-invasive tool to identify potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

Dr. Kemal's approach to high blood pressure focuses on preventing long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. We start with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and then add medication if needed to help you achieve your personalized target blood pressure. This two-pronged approach is designed to keep you healthy and safe.
