Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Cristian Tenorio:

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

A cardiologist is a medical expert 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. Cristian Tenorio?

Your first visit with Dr. Tenorio will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, and order an EKG. A discussion of your lifestyle and risk factors will follow, helping us create a personalized heart health plan.

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 steps. These choices empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

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 and cause blockages. Dr. Tenorio helps manage both types to prevent heart disease.

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how your heart functions during physical activity. You'll walk on a treadmill while your EKG and blood pressure are monitored. This non-invasive test helps identify potential blockages in your coronary arteries.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

We aim to treat high blood pressure not just by lowering numbers, but by preventing long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. Our approach is two-pronged: starting with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and then adding medication when needed to safely reach a personalized target blood pressure that's right for you.

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. It's placed during a minimally invasive procedure called an angioplasty, where a catheter is guided through a blood vessel to the heart.

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. Tenorio to assess the strength of the heart muscle, check the function of the heart valves, and detect structural problems.
