A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Esther Levin 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:

  • Sinus Tachycardia: Experiencing a persistently rapid heartbeat (sinus tachycardia) warrants medical attention, as it could indicate a need for lifestyle changes or medication to reduce your risk of heart problems.
  • Ventricular Septal Defect: To prevent heart strain and potential future problems, it's important to effectively manage a ventricular septal defect (VSD), a hole between the heart's two lower chambers, with regular medical care.
  • Angina: Experiencing angina is a warning sign that your heart isn't getting enough oxygen, highlighting the need for lifestyle changes and medical management to reduce your risk of serious complications.
  • Atrial Fibrillation: Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is an irregular heartbeat that increases your risk of stroke, so early detection and treatment are crucial for prevention.
  • Atherosclerosis of Aorta: Atherosclerosis of the aorta means fatty deposits are hardening your main artery, impacting blood flow. Regular checkups and proactive management can significantly slow or stop this process, protecting your heart health.
  • Atherosclerosis: By actively preventing or slowing the progression of atherosclerosis through healthy habits and medication, you can significantly reduce your risk of future heart problems.
  • Nonrheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Nonrheumatic tricuspid disease affects the tricuspid valve in your heart, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent serious complications.
  • Third Degree Heart Block: Managing cardiovascular risk factors is paramount in preventing the progression of conditions such as third-degree heart block, a severe heart rhythm disorder that disrupts the heart's normal electrical pathways, reducing the chance of severe events.
  • Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO): Having a PFO means you have a tiny opening in your heart from birth that may increase your chances of stroke if a blood clot forms; preventive measures like managing blood clotting factors are important to lower your risk.
  • Aneurysm and Dissection of Heart: Preventing a heart aneurysm or dissection starts with managing risk factors such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, as these can weaken blood vessel walls and increase your risk of these life-threatening conditions.
  • Congenital Heart Defects: Preventing serious health consequences associated with congenital heart defects often involves early diagnosis and proactive intervention to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
  • Chronic Venous Embolism Thrombosis: Chronic venous embolism thrombosis (CVET) is a serious condition where blood clots repeatedly form in the veins, increasing your risk of life-threatening complications like pulmonary embolism; early detection and treatment are crucial for prevention.

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. Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans are developed based on individual patient evaluations.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Esther Levin offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

  • Holter Monitoring: By wearing a Holter monitor, you're actively participating in the prevention of heart disease and stroke; it helps doctors identify and address hidden heart rhythm problems.
  • Dobutamine Thallium Stress Test: A dobutamine thallium stress test helps your doctor assess your heart's ability to handle increased workload, identifying potential blockages that could lead to heart attack or stroke.
  • Arrhythmia Screening: Take a proactive step towards heart health with arrhythmia screening—it checks for abnormal heart rhythms that could indicate underlying conditions.
  • Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (PAD): A PAD screening helps detect narrowed arteries in your legs and feet, allowing for early treatment to prevent serious complications like heart attack or stroke.
  • Pediatric Stress Echocardiography (ECG): A pediatric stress echocardiogram is a safe test that helps doctors check your child's heart health and identify any potential problems early on, preventing future heart issues.
  • Arterial Doppler Ultrasound: Take charge of your heart health with an arterial Doppler ultrasound – a simple scan that screens for narrowed arteries, allowing for timely intervention and reducing your risk of heart attack or stroke.
  • Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: Protect your heart's health with a structural heart disease assessment; this evaluation helps identify and address issues like valve problems or birth defects before they cause significant damage.
  • Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: A vascular duplex ultrasound and plethysmography is a painless test that uses sound waves to check the health of your blood vessels, helping detect potential problems early and prevent serious complications like heart disease or stroke.
  • 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.
  • Tilt_Testing: Tilt table testing helps doctors identify the cause of fainting or dizziness, potentially preventing serious heart-related complications.
  • Nuclear Stress Testing: To take a proactive step toward a healthier heart, a nuclear stress test helps doctors identify areas of reduced blood flow, enabling early diagnosis and prevention of heart disease.
  • Cardiac Imaging: Cardiac imaging offers a comprehensive view of your cardiovascular system, providing crucial information to identify silent conditions like coronary artery disease or heart valve problems, facilitating preventive measures and improving your long-term heart health.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Esther Levin:

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 that require expert management.
What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Esther Levin?
Your first visit with Dr. Levin will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, obtain an EKG, and discuss 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.
How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?
We aim to not only lower your blood pressure numbers but also prevent long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. Our approach starts with personalized lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and we'll add medication when necessary to achieve a safe and personalized target blood pressure.
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 a heart murmur?
A heart murmur is an extra sound heard when listening to the heart. Many murmurs are innocent and harmless; Dr. Levin 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 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. Levin is an expert in managing AFib with medications and procedures to control the rhythm and prevent strokes.
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, indicating a substantial risk for heart attack and stroke.
