A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Hani Seifein 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:

• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA): An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a serious condition where the main artery in your abdomen swells, and proactive screenings and lifestyle changes can prevent serious complications.
• Prinzmetal Angina: Prinzmetal angina, a type of chest pain, is best prevented through early detection and management of risk factors like smoking and stress, to reduce the chance of heart attacks.
• Atherosclerosis of Aorta: Protecting your aorta from atherosclerosis requires focusing on preventing and managing high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Early intervention is key in reducing the severity and long-term impact of this condition.
• Heart Valve Disorders: Addressing heart valve issues proactively, through lifestyle modifications and medication if needed, can help prevent debilitating conditions and improve your overall cardiovascular health.
• Chronic Pulmonary Heart Diseases (incl. Pulmonary Hypertension): Don't underestimate the link between your lungs and your heart: proactive care for chronic pulmonary diseases is key to preventing cardiovascular issues.
• Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO): A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a small opening in the heart present since birth which, in some cases, can allow blood clots to pass to the brain, leading to stroke; regular health checks and lifestyle changes can minimize potential complications.
• Aortic Aneurysm: Aortic aneurysms can be silently progressive, so proactive screening, particularly if you have risk factors, is key to early intervention and preventing serious complications.
• Arrhythmias: Preventing future heart complications starts with understanding arrhythmias—irregular heart rhythms that, when addressed, significantly reduce your risk of serious cardiovascular events.
• Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Preventing DVT involves understanding your risk factors, such as prolonged immobility or surgery, and taking steps to reduce them, ensuring early detection and effective management to avoid severe complications.
• Heart Attack (Acute Myocardial Infarction): Early detection of heart attack symptoms is crucial for minimizing long-term damage to your heart, emphasizing the importance of proactive health management.
• Sick Sinus Syndrome: Preventing heart-related issues starts with understanding conditions like sick sinus syndrome, a problem with your heart's electrical system that requires monitoring and treatment to avoid strokes and other severe problems.
• Hypotension: Hypotension, or low blood pressure, might require medical attention as it can sometimes be a sign of a more serious health issue needing early intervention.

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.

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

• Thrombolysis: To prevent devastating consequences of a blocked artery, thrombolysis uses medication to break up blood clots responsible for heart attacks and strokes, restoring blood flow to vital organs.
• Mitral Valve Repair: Mitral valve repair is a proactive surgery to restore proper blood flow through your heart, helping prevent complications from a leaky or narrowed mitral valve.
• Angioplasty With Stent Placement: Angioplasty with stent placement is a crucial intervention to address narrowed arteries, thereby lowering your risk of life-threatening heart events like a stroke.
• Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: By taking a pharmacologic nuclear stress test, you're taking a proactive step towards preventing future cardiovascular events by identifying potential blockages or weaknesses in your heart's blood vessels.
• Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: Ensure your heart's structural integrity with a comprehensive evaluation; early detection of abnormalities can prevent the development of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues.
• Dobutamine Thallium Stress Test: To help ensure a healthy heart, this stress test checks your heart's response to exertion, aiding in the early diagnosis and prevention of heart disease and stroke.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): An EKG is a crucial preventative measure for identifying silent heart conditions before they cause symptoms, giving you the opportunity to take proactive steps to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
• 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.
• Aortic Valve Surgery: As part of comprehensive heart care, aortic valve surgery can address a failing aortic valve, reducing the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and other severe conditions.
• Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmias: Cardiac ablation is a procedure that can help prevent dangerous heart rhythms by correcting abnormal electrical signals in your heart.
• Impella Device: The Impella device is a temporary heart pump that assists your heart's pumping action during complex heart procedures, helping to reduce risks and improve outcomes.
• 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Hani Seifein:

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 need expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Hani Seifein?

Your first visit with Dr. Seifein will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform 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 within your reach. Knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key preventive steps. By proactively addressing these areas, you significantly improve your chances of a healthy heart.

What is a TAVR procedure?

TAVR is a groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVR is performed through a catheter, leading to a much faster recovery for eligible patients.

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. Seifein is skilled 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 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.

How is Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D.) related to heart disease?

Peripheral artery disease (P.A.D.) is related to heart disease because it's caused by the same process—atherosclerosis (plaque buildup)—that leads to coronary artery disease. However, P.A.D. affects the arteries in your legs and feet. Having P.A.D. is a significant warning sign, indicating a heightened risk for heart attack and stroke.

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.
