A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Mohan Reddy 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:

• Subacute Endocarditis: Subacute endocarditis is a serious infection of the heart valves that develops slowly, highlighting the importance of regular dental checkups and prompt treatment of infections to prevent it.
• Syncope: If you experience syncope, early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent falls and injuries, as well as detect potentially life-threatening heart conditions.
• Nonrheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Nonrheumatic tricuspid disease, a condition impacting a heart valve, highlights the importance of proactive heart health management to reduce complications and maintain quality of life.
• Wolff-Parkinson-White Pattern: Regular heart health screenings can detect a Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern, a heart abnormality that can cause fast heartbeats. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent serious health problems.
• Ventricular Fibrillation: Regular checkups and healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce your risk of developing ventricular fibrillation, a dangerous heart rhythm problem.
• Lipid Disorders: Untreated lipid disorders can significantly increase your chances of having a heart attack or stroke; proactive management is key to protecting your cardiovascular health.
• Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis: Managing rheumatic mitral stenosis effectively involves controlling related risk factors, like infections, to prevent further valve damage and maintain heart health.
• Systolic Heart Failure: Systolic heart failure means your heart's ability to pump blood effectively is weakened, making early detection and management crucial to prevent further damage and improve your quality of life.
• Infective Endocarditis: Infective endocarditis, an infection of the heart valves, can be prevented through proactive measures like managing existing health conditions and maintaining good overall hygiene.
• Biventricular Heart Failure: Managing conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes is essential to prevent biventricular heart failure, emphasizing the significance of consistent preventive care to safeguard your heart health.
• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Coronary artery disease, if left untreated, can lead to severe health issues, emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups and following your doctor's recommendations to avoid complications.
• Arteriovenous Fistula: Early identification and proper management of an arteriovenous fistula can prevent dangerous complications that affect the heart and circulatory system.

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

• 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.
• Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP): To help your heart recover after a serious event, an IABP may be used to temporarily assist its pumping function, improving blood flow and reducing strain on the heart muscle.
• Stress Echocardiogram: This non-invasive test, a stress echocardiogram, helps screen for heart disease and allows for early diagnosis of potential issues like blockages in your coronary arteries that could cause a stroke or heart attack, ensuring you receive timely treatment.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: Cardiac catheterization with robotic assist is a minimally invasive procedure that helps doctors visualize your heart's blood vessels to detect blockages early, preventing future heart attacks or strokes.
• Peripheral Angioplasty: Peripheral angioplasty is a procedure that opens narrowed or blocked arteries in your legs and feet, improving blood flow and reducing your risk of complications like amputation.
• Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): PCI is a minimally invasive procedure that opens blocked arteries in your heart, improving blood flow and reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke.
• Tilt_Testing: This test is a valuable tool in diagnosing neurocardiogenic syncope, a condition that can sometimes be related to heart health.
• Dobutamine Thallium Stress Test: This non-invasive test helps detect coronary artery disease early, allowing for prompt treatment and reducing your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
• Renal Artery Angioplasty: Taking a proactive step toward better cardiovascular health, renal artery angioplasty helps to remove blockages in the arteries to your kidneys, leading to improved overall health and reducing heart disease risk.
• Lower Extremity Peripheral Ultrasound: Take a proactive step towards better heart health with a lower extremity peripheral ultrasound—a simple scan that identifies blockages in your leg arteries, reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke.
• Cardiac Ultrasound: This heart screening uses sound waves to create pictures of your heart, allowing doctors to assess its health, detect abnormalities early on, and implement preventative measures.
• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): Cardiac catheterization allows doctors to accurately assess the health of your coronary arteries, helping prevent future heart attacks and strokes by enabling early detection of blockages and enabling appropriate treatment.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Mohan Reddy:

What is a Cardiologist, and when should I see one?

A cardiologist is a doctor specializing in the heart and blood vessels. 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, it's a good idea to see a cardiologist.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Mohan Reddy?

Your first visit with Dr. Reddy will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, and obtain an EKG. We will also discuss your lifestyle and risk factors to create 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. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of 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.

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

Good" (HDL) cholesterol is helpful, carrying "bad" (LDL) cholesterol away from the arteries. "Bad" cholesterol can build up, forming plaque and blocking arteries. Dr. Mohan Reddy helps manage both to prevent heart disease.

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 curing the arrhythmia.

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how well 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 detect potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

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. Mohan Reddy 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.
