• 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.
• 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.
• Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: To proactively safeguard your heart health, consider a vascular duplex ultrasound and plethysmography; this non-invasive scan helps identify blockages or other issues in your arteries and veins before they become major problems.
• 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.
• 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.
• Tilt_Testing: This test is a valuable tool in diagnosing neurocardiogenic syncope, a condition that can sometimes be related to heart health.
• 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.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: A cardiovascular stress test helps your doctor assess your heart's health under exertion, enabling early detection of potential heart problems and preventing future issues.
• 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.
• Peripheral Artery Catheterization: By assessing the blood vessels in your legs and feet, a peripheral artery catheterization helps identify circulation issues early on, preventing severe health problems and promoting proactive heart health management.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: As a proactive measure to prevent heart disease, a cardiac catheterization with robotic assist allows doctors to assess the health of your heart's arteries and identify areas of narrowing or blockage, preventing serious complications.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Ivan Coronado:

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. Ivan Coronado?

Your first visit with Dr. Coronado will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, and obtain an EKG. We'll also discuss your lifestyle and risk factors to create 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. Know and control your blood pressure and cholesterol, don't smoke, be physically active, and eat a heart-healthy diet. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

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 linked 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, highlighting a substantial risk for heart attack and stroke.

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how your heart performs during physical activity. You walk on a treadmill while your EKG and blood pressure are monitored. It's a key non-invasive tool for detecting potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

What is heart failure?

Heart failure means the heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as it should, not that it has stopped. It's a chronic condition, but manageable. Dr. Coronado uses medication and lifestyle changes to improve heart function and reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling.

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 problematic heart tissue using heat or cold energy, often resolving the arrhythmia.
