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. Julien Feghaly?

Your first visit with Dr. Feghaly will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, 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 is achievable. Knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key steps. These proactive measures empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

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

What is the difference between 'good' (HDL) and 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol?

Good" (HDL) cholesterol is helpful, removing "bad" (LDL) cholesterol from your body. "Bad" cholesterol can build up in your arteries, potentially leading to blockages. Dr. Feghaly helps manage both types to prevent heart disease.

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. Feghaly 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 used to treat certain fast heart rhythms. A specialist uses catheters to pinpoint the area causing the problem and eliminate it with heat or cold energy, often curing the arrhythmia.

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 surgeries. It strengthens the heart, reduces risk factors, and helps patients safely regain their confidence and quality of life.
