A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Pablo Urbandt 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:

• Lipid Disorders: Lipid disorders, like high cholesterol, are a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, so early detection and management are crucial for preventing serious health problems.
• Aortic Dissection: Because early intervention is vital, understanding your risk for aortic dissection through regular screenings and lifestyle changes can help prevent this serious cardiovascular event.
• Sinus Tachycardia: Experiencing a persistently rapid heartbeat (sinus tachycardia) warrants medical attention, as it could indicate a need for lifestyle changes or medication to reduce your risk of heart problems.
• Kyphoscoliotic Heart Disease: Kyphoscoliotic heart disease is a heart condition caused by an abnormal curvature of the spine, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent serious complications.
• Benign Heart Tumors: Benign heart tumors, although usually not life-threatening, can sometimes cause symptoms and require monitoring to prevent them from impacting your heart's function.
• Septal Defect: A septal defect is a birth defect affecting the heart's structure; addressing it early reduces the risk of developing more serious cardiovascular conditions later in life.
• Coronary Vessel Malformation: Managing coronary vessel malformations involves lifestyle changes and sometimes medical interventions to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events.
• Aortic Aneurysm: By addressing risk factors and undergoing recommended screenings, you can significantly decrease your chances of developing an aortic aneurysm and protect yourself from its severe consequences.
• Acute Coronary Syndrome: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a serious heart condition requiring immediate medical attention, highlighting the importance of regular checkups and managing risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol to prevent it.
• Mitral Valve Stenosis: Regular monitoring and prompt treatment of mitral valve stenosis are key to preventing irreversible damage and maintaining good heart health.
• Third Degree Heart Block: Preventing serious heart complications like stroke requires proactive management of conditions such as third-degree heart block, a rhythm disorder that disrupts the heart's coordinated beating, emphasizing the need for timely medical intervention.
• Congestive Heart Failure: Managing high blood pressure and cholesterol are key to preventing congestive heart failure, a serious condition that impacts the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

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

• Arrhythmia Screening: Early detection is key to managing heart health; arrhythmia screening helps identify irregular heartbeats, allowing for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
• Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of Heart or Chest: A cardiac MRI is a detailed scan of your heart and chest that helps detect early signs of heart disease, allowing for timely intervention and preventing serious problems later.
• Cardiovascular Diagnostic Test: Invest in your well-being with a cardiovascular diagnostic test; this screening helps assess the health of your heart and blood vessels, enabling early detection and management of potential problems.
• Cardiac Imaging: As part of your preventative care, cardiac imaging helps assess your risk for heart disease and stroke. By detecting abnormalities early, you can work with your doctor to implement effective treatment and prevention strategies.
• HeartAware Online Risk Screening: Don't wait for symptoms; use HeartAware's online screening to detect potential heart issues early, giving you a head start on prevention and treatment.
• 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.
• Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: By taking a pharmacologic nuclear stress test, you're taking a proactive step towards preventing future cardiovascular events by identifying potential blockages or weaknesses in your heart's blood vessels.
• Coronary Angiogram: As part of your preventative care, a coronary angiogram offers a clear picture of your heart's blood flow, helping your doctor develop a personalized plan to manage your cardiovascular risk factors.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): Protecting your future starts with an EKG, a non-invasive test that provides valuable insights into your heart's health, allowing for early diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.
• Peripheral Artery Catheterization: As a preventative measure, peripheral artery catheterization helps identify blockages in your leg and foot arteries, enabling timely treatment to reduce your risk of stroke and heart attack.
• 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.
• 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 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. Pablo Urbandt?

Your first visit with Dr. Urbandt will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, obtain an EKG, and discuss lifestyle and risk factors. This is the first step in creating 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 involves managing blood pressure and cholesterol, avoiding smoking, incorporating regular physical activity, and adopting a heart-healthy diet. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

We aim to not only lower your blood pressure numbers, but also prevent long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. Our approach involves foundational lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and medication when necessary, to help you safely reach a personalized target blood pressure.

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. Urbandt 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.

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

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how your heart performs during physical activity. You'll walk on a treadmill while your EKG and blood pressure are monitored. It's a key non-invasive tool for detecting potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

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 to the heart.
