A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Imran Bawaney 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): Preventing a potentially fatal event, regular checkups help detect abdominal aortic aneurysms, a weakening of the aorta that, if left untreated, can rupture.
• Second Degree Heart Block: This condition, known as a second-degree heart block, indicates a disruption in your heart's rhythm, and careful management through lifestyle changes and medication can help prevent future cardiovascular complications.
• Congestive Heart Failure: Congestive heart failure can develop over time, but by actively managing your cardiovascular risk factors, you significantly reduce your chances of developing this serious condition and improve long-term heart health.
• Congenital Aortic Valve Disorders: Congenital aortic valve disorders are birth defects affecting the heart's aortic valve, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent serious complications later in life.
• Aortic Stenosis: Aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the heart's aortic valve, can lead to shortness of breath and chest pain if not addressed. Regular checkups and proactive management can significantly reduce the risk of severe outcomes.
• First Degree Heart Block: Managing risk factors associated with first-degree heart block, like high blood pressure or underlying heart conditions, is vital to minimizing your risk of developing more serious heart rhythm problems.
• Mitral Valve Regurgitation: Preventing complications from mitral valve regurgitation involves proactive steps such as regular checkups, medication adherence, and adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle.
• Arrhythmias: Early detection of arrhythmias is key to preventing long-term heart damage and maintaining a healthy heart rhythm.
• Acute Congestive Heart Failure: Acute congestive heart failure is a medical emergency that underscores the need for consistent monitoring of your cardiovascular health to identify and address risk factors before they lead to severe complications.
• Nonrheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Managing risk factors like high blood pressure and heart infections is crucial in preventing or slowing the progression of nonrheumatic tricuspid disease.
• Cardiomegaly: Preventing heart disease often involves monitoring for cardiomegaly, as an enlarged heart can indicate increased cardiovascular risk and the need for lifestyle changes or medical intervention.
• Mitral Valve Disease: Managing risk factors like high blood pressure and heart infections can help prevent or slow the progression of mitral valve disease.

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

• 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.
• Cardiovascular Diagnostic Test: A cardiovascular diagnostic test helps doctors identify potential heart problems early, allowing for timely intervention and preventing serious complications like heart attacks or strokes.
• Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of Heart or Chest: Protecting your future heart health starts with a cardiac MRI; this advanced imaging technique helps identify hidden conditions like blockages or abnormalities, allowing for prompt treatment and reducing your risk of stroke or heart attack.
• Peripheral Artery Catheterization: As a preventative measure, peripheral artery catheterization helps identify blockages in your leg and foot arteries, enabling timely treatment to reduce your risk of stroke and heart attack.
• 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.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): Take charge of your heart health with an EKG—a quick, painless test that screens for irregular heartbeats and other abnormalities that could lead to life-threatening conditions.
• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): This procedure involves a thin tube inserted into your blood vessels to visualize your heart and coronary arteries, helping identify potential problems before they cause serious symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
• Cardiac Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: Take a proactive step toward a healthier heart with myocardial perfusion imaging. This test visually assesses blood flow to your heart muscle, facilitating early diagnosis and treatment of conditions that could cause heart attacks or strokes.
• Removal or Revision of Pacemaker or Cardioverter and-or Defibrillator: Proactive removal or revision of a malfunctioning pacemaker or defibrillator prevents disruptions to your heart rhythm, safeguarding your overall cardiovascular health.
• 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.
• Coronary Angiogram: For comprehensive heart health assessment, a coronary angiogram helps identify narrowed or blocked arteries, allowing for prompt treatment to prevent future heart attacks, strokes, or other life-threatening events.
• 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Imran Bawaney:

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

A cardiologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions related to 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. Imran Bawaney?

Your first visit with Dr. Bawaney will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, conduct 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 involves knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet. These steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

What is a pacemaker, and who needs one?

A pacemaker is a small electronic device implanted under the skin to help regulate a slow or irregular heartbeat. It's needed when the heart's natural electrical system isn't working correctly, ensuring the heart beats at a proper, steady rate.

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

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 needed to safely reach your personalized target blood pressure.

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 heightened risk of heart attack and stroke.
