Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Niberto Moreno:

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 have symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, a family history of heart disease, or risk factors like high blood pressure or high cholesterol needing expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Niberto Moreno?

Your first visit with Dr. Moreno will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, and obtain an EKG. We'll also discuss lifestyle factors 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. Know and manage your blood pressure and cholesterol, avoid smoking, be physically active, and eat a heart-healthy diet. These steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

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 isn't usually life-threatening, it significantly increases the risk of stroke. Dr. Niberto Moreno is an expert in managing AFib with medications and procedures to control the rhythm and prevent strokes.

What is heart failure?

Heart failure means the heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as it should, not that it has stopped working. It's a chronic condition, but manageable. Dr. Moreno uses medications and lifestyle changes to improve heart function and reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling.

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

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

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

Good" (HDL) cholesterol is helpful, carrying "bad" (LDL) cholesterol away from the body. "Bad" cholesterol can build up in arteries, causing blockages. Dr. Moreno helps manage both types of cholesterol to prevent heart disease.
