• Atrial Fibrillation: Early diagnosis and control of atrial fibrillation are vital in reducing your chances of experiencing a stroke or other heart-related issues.
• Lipid Disorders: Lipid disorders, like high cholesterol, are a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, so early detection and management are crucial for preventing serious health problems.
• Mitral Valve Disease: Early diagnosis of mitral valve disease is crucial, as treatment can significantly reduce the risk of stroke and other life-threatening events.
• Sinus Tachycardia: While not always a cause for immediate concern, persistent sinus tachycardia highlights the importance of regular heart health check-ups and proactive risk assessment to prevent future cardiovascular events.
• Hypertensive Heart and Chronic Kidney Disease: If you have high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease, it's essential to work with your doctor to control these conditions and lower your risk of cardiovascular events like stroke.
• Atherosclerosis: By actively preventing or slowing the progression of atherosclerosis through healthy habits and medication, you can significantly reduce your risk of future heart problems.

• Acute Coronary Syndrome: Acute Coronary Syndrome is a time-sensitive medical event, emphasizing the need for proactive cardiovascular health management to lessen the likelihood of developing this potentially life-threatening condition.
• Heart Disease: Protecting your heart starts with understanding heart disease—a range of conditions affecting your heart's ability to function properly—and proactively managing risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol.
• Patent Ductus Arteriosus: A Patent Ductus Arteriosus is a birth defect that needs monitoring as it can cause increased blood flow to the lungs and heart strain, potentially leading to serious heart problems if left unaddressed.
• 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Jomel Jacinto:

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. Jomel Jacinto?

Your first visit with Dr. Jacinto will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, conduct a physical exam, perform 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 achievable. Knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key to preventing a heart attack. These proactive steps empower you to shape your own heart health destiny.

What is the purpose of cardiac rehabilitation?

Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program of exercise and education designed to strengthen your heart, reduce risk factors, and help you safely regain your confidence and quality of life after a heart attack, stent, or heart surgery.

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. Jacinto 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 cardiac ablation procedure?

Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure to treat certain fast heart rhythms. A heart specialist uses catheters to locate and eliminate the problematic heart tissue using heat or cold energy, often curing the arrhythmia.

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 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. Jomel Jacinto better understand a patient's future risk of a heart attack and guide the intensity of their prevention strategy.
