A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Manish Bansal 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:

• Sick Sinus Syndrome: Protecting your heart involves recognizing and managing conditions like sick sinus syndrome, a disorder that affects the heart's electrical system, to reduce your risk of serious heart problems.
• Coronary Artery Dissection: Regular check-ups and lifestyle changes, such as healthy eating and exercise, are key to preventing coronary artery dissection and maintaining overall cardiovascular health.
• Nonrheumatic Mitral Stenosis: Understanding your risk for nonrheumatic mitral stenosis through family history and regular checkups is crucial for preventing serious heart issues and maintaining optimal cardiovascular health.
• Pulmonary Hypertension: Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries leading to your lungs, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent serious complications like heart failure.
• Type 2 Heart Block - Mobitz: Understanding your risk for Mobitz type 2 heart block, a condition affecting the heart's rhythm, can help you work with your doctor to make lifestyle changes and manage your overall cardiovascular health effectively, preventing future heart problems.
• Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy: Regular health checkups can help detect alcoholic cardiomyopathy early, allowing for timely interventions like reducing alcohol intake to prevent further heart damage.
• Atrial Fibrillation: Atrial fibrillation, if left untreated, can lead to significant heart problems, so regular checkups and lifestyle changes are important for prevention.
• Patent Ductus Arteriosus: Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is a heart defect present from birth where a blood vessel doesn't close properly, potentially leading to heart problems later in life if not diagnosed and treated early.
• Aortic Dissection: Aortic dissection is a serious tear in the aorta, your body's largest artery, and early detection through regular checkups and awareness of risk factors is crucial for preventing life-threatening complications.
• Chest Pain: Preventing future heart events starts with recognizing chest pain as a potential warning sign and taking proactive steps to address any underlying health concerns.
• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition where plaque buildup narrows your heart's arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke, but proactive lifestyle changes and medical care can significantly reduce these risks.
• Mitral Valve Stenosis: Mitral valve stenosis, a narrowing of the mitral valve in your heart, can be managed effectively through regular checkups and lifestyle changes to prevent serious complications like heart failure.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

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

• HeartAware Online Risk Screening: Don't wait for symptoms; use HeartAware's online screening to detect potential heart issues early, giving you a head start on prevention and treatment.
• Dobutamine Thallium Stress Test: As part of your heart health journey, a dobutamine thallium stress test can reveal if your heart is getting enough blood, enabling early detection and management of potential problems.
• Arrhythmia Screening: Ensure your heart's electrical system is working properly with an arrhythmia screening, helping prevent sudden cardiac events and improve your quality of life.
• 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.
• Cardiac Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: Cardiac myocardial perfusion imaging is a non-invasive scan that helps doctors assess how well blood flows to your heart muscle, allowing for early detection of potential heart problems and preventing future heart attacks or strokes.
• Tilt Table Testing: Tilt table testing is a non-invasive procedure that helps identify the cause of fainting or dizziness, potentially preventing serious heart-related complications.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: This procedure combines the precision of robotics with cardiac catheterization to provide detailed images of your heart, allowing for early detection of conditions like coronary artery disease and facilitating timely treatment.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: A cardiovascular stress test provides valuable insights into your heart's ability to handle stress, allowing for timely intervention and preventative measures to maintain optimal cardiovascular health.
• Cardiac Imaging: Cardiac imaging offers a comprehensive view of your cardiovascular system, providing crucial information to identify silent conditions like coronary artery disease or heart valve problems, facilitating preventive measures and improving your long-term heart health.
• 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.
• 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.
• Vascular Transcatheter Embolization: As a preventative measure, vascular transcatheter embolization can help reduce your risk of stroke or other cardiovascular events by stopping abnormal blood flow.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Manish Bansal:

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. Manish Bansal?

Your first visit with Dr. Bansal will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform 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 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 heart attack.

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 to detect potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

How is Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D.) related to heart disease?

Peripheral artery disease (P.A.D.) is caused by the same process as coronary artery disease—atherosclerosis (plaque buildup)—but it affects the arteries in the legs and feet. Having P.A.D. is a major red flag, indicating a very high risk for heart attack and stroke. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing both conditions effectively.

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, leading to a much faster recovery for eligible patients.

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 isn't usually life-threatening, it significantly increases the risk of stroke. Dr. Bansal 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 problematic heart tissue with heat or cold energy, often curing the arrhythmia.
