A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Inbar Saporta 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:

• Coronary Artery Dissection: Understanding your risk for coronary artery dissection is crucial for preventive cardiology, as timely diagnosis and treatment can prevent severe consequences like heart attack or stroke.
• Wolff-Parkinson-White Pattern: The Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern signifies an extra electrical connection in your heart, potentially leading to fast heart rhythms; managing this condition minimizes your chances of heart-related complications.
• Benign Heart Tumors: Understanding the potential for benign heart tumors and seeking regular cardiovascular checkups plays a vital role in their early detection and prevention of any future cardiovascular complications.
• Mitral Valve Disease: Protecting your heart means understanding mitral valve disease: regular checkups can help detect it early and minimize future problems.
• Chronic Pulmonary Heart Diseases (incl. Pulmonary Hypertension): Protecting your heart starts with healthy lungs: managing chronic pulmonary diseases helps avoid future heart problems and complications.
• Sick Sinus Syndrome: Managing sick sinus syndrome, a condition affecting your heart's rhythm, is vital for preventing potentially life-threatening events through proactive healthcare and medication if needed.
• Primary Pulmonary Hypertension: Primary pulmonary hypertension is a disease where high blood pressure in the lung arteries can lead to heart damage; lifestyle adjustments and medical treatment can greatly improve long-term health.
• Aneurysm of Heart: An aneurysm of the heart is a bulge in a blood vessel within the heart, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent a potentially life-threatening rupture.
• Acute Coronary Syndrome: Managing risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes significantly lowers your chances of experiencing Acute Coronary Syndrome, a sudden heart problem requiring immediate care.
• Tricuspid Valve Disease: Regular checkups are key to preventing heart problems; early detection of tricuspid valve disease allows for timely intervention and management to keep your heart strong.
• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Preventing coronary artery disease involves understanding and managing risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking, enabling you to keep your heart healthy for longer.
• 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.

• Treadmill Stress Test: As a proactive measure to maintain optimal heart health, a treadmill stress test helps pinpoint potential blockages or irregularities in your heart's function that may lead to serious complications.
• Cardioversion: Take a proactive step toward better heart health: cardioversion can restore your heart to a healthy rhythm, significantly lowering your risk of future cardiovascular events.
• Tilt_Testing: To proactively address fainting spells or unexplained lightheadedness, a tilt table test can help determine if a heart condition is the underlying cause.
• Nuclear Stress Testing: As part of your heart health journey, a nuclear stress test provides a detailed look at your heart's function during exercise, helping to detect potential problems and prevent serious events like strokes.
• HeartAware Online Risk Screening: Get a clear picture of your heart health with HeartAware's convenient online risk assessment, helping you take control of your cardiovascular future.

• Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: To help prevent heart attacks and strokes, this test uses medication and imaging to assess your heart's response to stress, helping identify blockages or other issues that need attention.
• Arrhythmia Screening: Take a proactive step towards heart health with arrhythmia screening—it checks for abnormal heart rhythms that could indicate underlying conditions.
• 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Inbar Saporta:

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 requiring specialized management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Inbar Saporta?

Your first visit with Dr. Saporta will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, take 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 involves managing 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 and improve your overall well-being.

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. Saporta is an expert in managing AFib with medications and procedures to control the rhythm and prevent strokes.

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 small area of heart tissue causing the problem, often curing the arrhythmia, using heat or cold energy.

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 a heart murmur?

A heart murmur is an extra sound heard when listening to the heart. Many murmurs are innocent and harmless; Dr. Saporta 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 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.
