• Postpartum Cardiomyopathy: Postpartum cardiomyopathy is a weakening of the heart muscle that can occur after childbirth, and early detection through regular checkups is crucial for preventing serious complications.
• Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Early detection of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is key to preventing long-term heart damage and improving your overall cardiovascular health through timely treatment and management.
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA): An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a serious condition where the main artery in your abdomen swells, and proactive screenings and lifestyle changes can prevent serious complications.
• Venous Insufficiency: Managing venous insufficiency can significantly improve blood circulation in your legs, minimizing your risk of blood clots and other serious health issues.
• Mitral Valve Disease: Managing risk factors like high blood pressure and heart infections can help prevent or slow the progression of mitral valve disease.
• Atrial Flutter: Regular screenings and healthy lifestyle choices can help identify atrial flutter early, allowing for timely intervention and preventing life-threatening heart events.
• 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.
• Chronic Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Preventing the long-term effects of chronic DVT requires proactive steps, including regular check-ups, lifestyle changes, and medications to reduce the risk of blood clot recurrence.
• Septic Embolism: A septic embolism, a serious complication of infection, can damage your heart and increase your risk of stroke, highlighting the importance of prompt infection treatment to protect your cardiovascular health.
• Benign Heart Tumors: Even though benign, heart tumors can still affect your cardiovascular system. Regular screenings help catch them early, allowing for appropriate management and prevention of future issues.

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

• Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation: As a proactive measure against life-threatening heart rhythm disturbances, an ICD is implanted to monitor and correct irregular heartbeats, potentially saving your life.
• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): As a proactive step in managing your heart health, a cardiac catheterization provides detailed images of your heart's blood vessels, helping detect and treat issues that could lead to heart attack or stroke.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: Taking charge of your heart health starts with a cardiac catheterization with robotic assist, a sophisticated procedure that helps doctors pinpoint blockages in your arteries, minimizing your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
• Cardiac Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: Take a proactive step toward a healthier heart with myocardial perfusion imaging. This test visually assesses blood flow to your heart muscle, facilitating early diagnosis and treatment of conditions that could cause heart attacks or strokes.
• Cardiac Ultrasound: Protect your heart by getting a cardiac ultrasound – a non-invasive scan that provides detailed images of your heart's structure and function, aiding in the early diagnosis of heart conditions.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): Take charge of your heart health with an EKG—a quick, painless test that screens for irregular heartbeats and other abnormalities that could lead to life-threatening conditions.
• Insertion of Left Ventricular Lead for Pacemaker or Cardioverter and Defibrillator: To safeguard against life-threatening heart conditions, a small lead is inserted into your heart's left ventricle to accurately detect and address irregular heartbeats.
• Peripheral Artery Catheterization: To proactively monitor your heart health, a peripheral artery catheterization provides a detailed look at the arteries in your limbs, helping diagnose and prevent conditions like peripheral artery disease (PAD).
• Thrombolysis: By dissolving blood clots that block blood flow to your heart or brain, thrombolysis is a life-saving treatment that can dramatically reduce the severity and long-term effects of heart attacks and strokes.
• Tilt_Testing: Tilt table testing helps doctors identify the cause of fainting or dizziness, potentially preventing serious heart-related complications.
• Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: To proactively safeguard your heart health, consider a vascular duplex ultrasound and plethysmography; this non-invasive scan helps identify blockages or other issues in your arteries and veins before they become major problems.

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

Taking control of your cardiovascular health involves knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

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.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

We aim to not just lower your blood pressure numbers, but also prevent long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. This involves foundational lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and when necessary, we'll add medication to safely reach your personalized target blood pressure.

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 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.

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