• Second Degree Heart Block: This condition, known as a second-degree heart block, indicates a disruption in your heart's rhythm, and careful management through lifestyle changes and medication can help prevent future cardiovascular complications.
• Primary Pulmonary Hypertension: Primary pulmonary hypertension is a serious condition affecting blood flow to your lungs that often requires proactive management to reduce the risks of heart failure and other severe consequences.
• Hypotension: While high blood pressure is commonly known, low blood pressure (hypotension) can also be a risk factor for dizziness and falls, highlighting the importance of regular check-ups.
• Sick Sinus Syndrome: Sick sinus syndrome is a heart rhythm disorder where your heart's natural pacemaker doesn't work properly, making early detection and management crucial to prevent serious complications like fainting or heart failure.
• Septal Defect: A septal defect is a hole in the wall separating the heart's chambers, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent long-term complications.
• Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO): While many people with a PFO live without issues, it can be a risk factor for stroke if a blood clot moves through it to the brain; addressing other risk factors like high blood pressure can lessen your stroke risk.
• Rheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Untreated rheumatic fever can cause rheumatic tricuspid disease, emphasizing the critical role of preventive measures like prompt antibiotic treatment of strep throat infections.
• Acute Congestive Heart Failure: Acute congestive heart failure is a medical emergency that underscores the need for consistent monitoring of your cardiovascular health to identify and address risk factors before they lead to severe complications.
• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Managing coronary artery disease effectively through healthy habits and prescribed treatments helps prevent further artery blockage, reducing the likelihood of future cardiovascular events.
• Acute Coronary Syndrome: Acute Coronary Syndrome is a time-sensitive medical event, emphasizing the need for proactive cardiovascular health management to lessen the likelihood of developing this potentially life-threatening condition.
• Atrial Flutter: Atrial flutter is a type of irregular heartbeat that can be managed to reduce your chances of developing serious heart conditions, emphasizing the role of proactive healthcare.

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, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet. These choices empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack. By making these lifestyle choices, you are actively shaping your heart health destiny.

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

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 a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise, and medication when needed to safely reach a personalized target blood pressure.

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 is not usually life-threatening, it significantly increases the risk of stroke. Dr. Moses Kelley III is an expert in managing AFib with medications and procedures to control the rhythm and prevent strokes.

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

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

Peripheral artery disease (P.A.D.) is caused by atherosclerosis, the same process that leads to coronary artery disease. This plaque buildup affects the arteries in the legs and feet. Having P.A.D. is a significant warning sign, indicating a very high risk of heart attack and stroke.
