• 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.
• Sinus Bradycardia: Regular health screenings can help detect sinus bradycardia early, allowing for timely management and reducing your risk of experiencing serious cardiovascular complications.
• Hypertensive Heart with Failure: Hypertensive heart disease with heart failure means your high blood pressure has damaged your heart's ability to pump blood effectively, highlighting the importance of regular blood pressure checks and managing hypertension to prevent further complications.
• Acute Coronary Syndrome: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a serious heart condition requiring immediate medical attention, highlighting the importance of regular checkups and managing risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol to prevent it.
• Aortic Ectasia: Understanding your family history and undergoing appropriate testing can facilitate early diagnosis of aortic ectasia, allowing for timely management and reduced risk of complications.
• Subacute Endocarditis: Managing underlying conditions like heart valve problems or weakened immune systems can significantly reduce your risk of developing subacute endocarditis, a slow-growing infection of the heart's inner lining.
• Infective Endocarditis: Early detection of infective endocarditis is crucial as it can lead to severe heart damage; regular check-ups and awareness of symptoms are vital for prevention.

• 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.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: Protecting your heart is key – a cardiovascular stress test helps pinpoint potential weaknesses in your heart's performance before they lead to major health problems like a heart attack or stroke.
• Arrhythmia Screening: Early detection is key to managing heart health; arrhythmia screening helps identify irregular heartbeats, allowing for prompt diagnosis and 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.
• 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.
• Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: A pharmacologic nuclear stress test is a safe and effective way to proactively check your heart's health by evaluating blood flow to detect potential problems early, before they become serious.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: Taking charge of your heart health starts with a cardiac catheterization with robotic assist, a sophisticated procedure that helps doctors pinpoint blockages in your arteries, minimizing your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
• Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: Invest in your cardiovascular future by having a structural heart disease evaluation; this check-up identifies structural problems that might increase your risk of heart disease or stroke.
• Nuclear Stress Testing: For early detection of potential heart problems and to take proactive steps for long-term heart health, a nuclear stress test allows your doctor to assess how well your heart responds to stress, which is essential in preventing future cardiovascular events.
• Insertion of Left Ventricular Lead for Pacemaker or Cardioverter and Defibrillator: This procedure places a lead in your heart's left ventricle to help your heart pump effectively and prevent serious complications like stroke or heart failure, improving your overall cardiac health.
• Cardioversion: Cardioversion is a life-saving procedure to treat dangerous irregular heartbeats that could lead to heart failure, stroke, or even sudden death.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Ethan Siev:

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 specialized management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Ethan Siev?

Your first visit with Dr. Siev will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, conduct a physical exam, perform 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 preventive steps. These actions empower you to significantly reduce your risk of heart attack.

What is a TAVR procedure?

TAVR is a groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVR uses a catheter, leading to a much faster recovery for eligible patients. It's a safe and effective alternative for many.

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 up to the heart.

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 that can be managed with medications and lifestyle changes. Dr. Siev works with patients to improve heart function and reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling.

What is a calcium score screening?

A calcium score screening is a special CT scan of the heart that measures the amount of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. It's a powerful preventive tool to help Dr. Siev better understand your future risk of a heart attack and guide the intensity of your prevention strategy.

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. This involves foundational lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and when needed, we'll add medication to safely reach a personalized target for your well-being.
