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 requiring expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Michael Ozner?

Your first visit with Dr. Ozner will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, and obtain an EKG. This will also include a discussion of your lifestyle and risk factors, and is the first step in creating a personalized heart health plan.

What are the most important things I can do to prevent a heart attack?

Taking control of your cardiovascular health involves managing blood pressure and cholesterol, avoiding smoking, being physically active, and eating a heart-healthy diet. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack. By making these lifestyle choices, you are actively shaping your heart health destiny.

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

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

We aim to not only lower your blood pressure numbers but also prevent potential long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. This involves foundational lifestyle changes like a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise. Medication may be added to safely reach a personalized target blood pressure, tailored to your individual needs.

What is a pacemaker, and who needs one?

A pacemaker is a small electronic device implanted under the skin to help regulate a slow or irregular heartbeat. It's needed when the heart's natural electrical system isn't working correctly, ensuring the heart beats at a proper, steady rate.

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. 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 to the heart.

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.
