Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Marcy Studzinski:

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 specialized management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Marcy Studzinski?

Your first visit with Dr. Studzinski will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, obtain 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 levels, avoiding smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key preventive steps. By proactively addressing these factors, you are actively shaping your own heart health destiny.

What is heart failure?

Heart failure doesn't mean the heart has stopped working; rather, it means the heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as it should. Dr. Studzinski and her team treat heart failure as a chronic, manageable condition, using medications 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 to treat certain fast heart rhythms. A specialist uses catheters to locate and eliminate the problematic heart tissue using heat or cold energy, often resolving the arrhythmia.

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

LDL, or "lousy" cholesterol, builds up plaque in your arteries, potentially causing blockages. HDL, or "healthy" cholesterol, helps remove LDL from your body. Dr. Studzinski helps manage both to prevent heart disease.

What is a cardiac stress test?

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

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. Studzinski better understand your future risk of a heart attack and guide the intensity of your prevention strategy.
