A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Demilade MB 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:

• Cardiac Arrest: Cardiac arrest can be a devastating event, but adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle and adhering to your doctor's recommendations can dramatically lower your chances of experiencing one.
• Hypertensive Chronic Kidney Disease: Protecting your heart and kidneys requires proactive management of high blood pressure, especially if you already have chronic kidney disease; regular monitoring and treatment are essential.
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA): An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a bulge in the aorta, your body's largest artery, that can rupture and cause life-threatening bleeding, making regular screenings crucial for early detection and prevention.
• Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO): If you have a PFO, a small hole in your heart from birth, you might be at increased risk for stroke if you also have other heart conditions; preventive care focused on managing these conditions and lifestyle modifications are important.
• Sick Sinus Syndrome: Sick sinus syndrome disrupts your heart's natural rhythm; early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential preventive measures to avoid severe consequences like heart failure or stroke.
• Pulmonary Valve Disease: Pulmonary valve disease, if detected early and managed effectively, can prevent serious complications like heart failure and shortness of breath.
• Double Outlet Right Ventricle: Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) is a rare heart defect present from birth that requires early diagnosis and ongoing management to prevent serious heart complications later in life.
• Cardiomegaly: Cardiomegaly, an enlarged heart, emphasizes the importance of proactive cardiovascular health, as its development often signals underlying issues that require prompt attention to prevent serious consequences.
• Heart Attack (STEMI): A heart attack, specifically a STEMI, is a serious blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle, highlighting the critical need for early detection and lifestyle changes to prevent future events.
• Tricuspid Valve Atresia: Living with tricuspid valve atresia requires proactive cardiovascular health management, including regular monitoring and specialized care, to minimize the risk of developing further heart conditions and improve quality of life.
• Cardiac Sarcoidosis: Because cardiac sarcoidosis can lead to irregular heartbeats and heart failure, proactive management through regular check-ups and careful monitoring is essential for prevention.
• Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis is a condition where cholesterol and other substances clog your arteries, making early detection and management crucial for preventing serious cardiovascular events.

• Cardioversion: Cardioversion is a life-saving procedure to treat dangerous irregular heartbeats that could lead to heart failure, stroke, or even sudden death.
• Peripheral Artery Catheterization: By assessing the blood vessels in your legs and feet, a peripheral artery catheterization helps identify circulation issues early on, preventing severe health problems and promoting proactive heart health management.
• Treadmill Stress Test: This simple test helps determine if your heart is strong enough to handle physical activity and can reveal potential problems early on, allowing for timely intervention to prevent heart attacks or stroke.
• 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.
• Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): PCI is a minimally invasive procedure that opens blocked arteries in your heart, improving blood flow and reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke.
• 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 MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of Heart or Chest: To ensure your heart's health, a cardiac MRI provides detailed images to help assess its structure and function, facilitating early diagnosis and the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
• Coronary Angiogram: Taking a proactive step towards heart health, a coronary angiogram allows doctors to assess the condition of your coronary arteries and identify areas needing treatment to prevent future cardiovascular events.
• Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: To proactively safeguard your heart health, consider a vascular duplex ultrasound and plethysmography; this non-invasive scan helps identify blockages or other issues in your arteries and veins before they become major problems.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a simple test that checks your heart's rhythm and electrical activity, helping detect potential problems early and prevent serious heart issues like heart attacks or strokes.
• Tilt_Testing: Tilt table testing helps doctors identify the cause of fainting or dizziness, potentially preventing serious heart-related complications.
• Cardiovascular Diagnostic Test: Invest in your well-being with a cardiovascular diagnostic test; this screening helps assess the health of your heart and blood vessels, enabling early detection and management of potential problems.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Demilade MB:

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 specialized management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Demilade MB?

Your first visit with Dr. Demilade MB will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, and obtain an EKG. A discussion of lifestyle and risk factors will follow, helping us 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 within your reach. Knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key steps. These proactive choices empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

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, often curing the arrhythmia, using heat or cold energy.

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 usually life-threatening, it significantly increases the risk of stroke. Dr. Demilade MB is an expert in managing AFib with medications and procedures to control the rhythm and prevent strokes.

What is a TAVR procedure?

TAVR, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, is a groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVR is performed through a catheter, resulting in a much faster recovery for eligible patients.

What is heart failure?

Heart failure means the heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as it should, not that it has stopped working. It's a chronic condition, but manageable. Dr. Demilade MB uses medications and lifestyle changes to improve heart function and reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling.

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. Demilade MB 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.
