A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Rachel Eidelman 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:

• Hyperlipidemia: Hyperlipidemia means you have high levels of fats in your blood, increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke; regular checkups and lifestyle changes can help control it.
• Acute Coronary Syndrome: Managing risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes significantly lowers your chances of experiencing Acute Coronary Syndrome, a sudden heart problem requiring immediate care.
• Heart Attack (NSTEMI): A non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is a type of heart attack where blood flow to the heart is partially blocked, highlighting the importance of regular check-ups and managing risk factors to prevent more serious events.
• Third Degree Heart Block: Managing cardiovascular risk factors is paramount in preventing the progression of conditions such as third-degree heart block, a severe heart rhythm disorder that disrupts the heart's normal electrical pathways, reducing the chance of severe events.
• Acute Congestive Heart Failure: Early detection and management of conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol are crucial in preventing the development of acute congestive heart failure and its potentially devastating consequences.
• Atrial Fibrillation: Managing atrial fibrillation effectively helps prevent serious complications like blood clots and stroke, safeguarding your long-term heart health.
• Aneurysm of Heart: An aneurysm of the heart is a bulge in a blood vessel within the heart, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent a potentially life-threatening rupture.
• Congenital Aortic Valve Disorders: Congenital aortic valve disorders are birth defects affecting the heart's aortic valve, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent serious complications later in life.
• Mitral Valve Regurgitation: Mitral valve regurgitation, a condition where your heart's mitral valve doesn't close tightly, can be managed to prevent serious heart problems later on.
• Congenital Heart Defects: Understanding and addressing congenital heart defects from birth is a cornerstone of preventive cardiology, minimizing the risk of debilitating heart conditions later in life.
• Angina: If you experience angina, it's important to discuss your symptoms with your doctor to develop a plan to control your cardiovascular risk factors and protect your heart health.
• First Degree Heart Block: Understanding and managing first-degree heart block through regular monitoring and healthy lifestyle choices can significantly reduce your risk of developing more severe arrhythmias.

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

• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): To proactively safeguard your heart health, a cardiac catheterization uses special imaging to detect narrowed or blocked arteries, enabling timely treatment and reducing your risk of future cardiovascular events.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: As a proactive measure to prevent heart disease, a cardiac catheterization with robotic assist allows doctors to assess the health of your heart's arteries and identify areas of narrowing or blockage, preventing serious complications.
• 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.
• Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of Heart or Chest: Take a proactive step towards heart health with a cardiac MRI – it's a non-invasive test that can identify potential heart issues before they become major problems, helping prevent strokes and heart attacks.
• Cardiac Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: As a proactive measure to maintain your cardiovascular health, cardiac myocardial perfusion imaging offers a detailed picture of your heart's blood supply, enabling early detection of coronary artery disease and reducing your risk of future heart events.
• Cardiac Ultrasound: A cardiac ultrasound is a painless test using sound waves to create images of your heart, helping detect problems early and prevent future heart disease or stroke.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: A cardiovascular stress test helps your doctor assess your heart's health under exertion, enabling early detection of potential heart problems and preventing future issues.
• Cardioversion: Cardioversion is a life-saving procedure to treat dangerous irregular heartbeats that could lead to heart failure, stroke, or even sudden death.
• 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.
• Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): PCI is a crucial intervention to restore blood flow to your heart and minimize the risks associated with heart disease, including stroke and heart failure.
• Tilt_Testing: Taking a proactive step toward better heart health, a tilt table test can help rule out heart rhythm issues that cause fainting or dizziness.
• Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: A vascular duplex ultrasound and plethysmography is a painless test that uses sound waves to check the health of your blood vessels, helping detect potential problems early and prevent serious complications like heart disease or stroke.

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 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.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Rachel Eidelman?

Your first visit with Dr. Eidelman will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, obtain an EKG, and discuss your lifestyle and risk factors. This is the first step in creating a personalized heart health plan tailored to your unique needs.

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, don't smoke, be physically active, and eat a heart-healthy diet. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of heart attack.

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.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

We aim to not only lower your blood pressure numbers, but also to prevent long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. This involves foundational lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and, if needed, medication to safely reach a 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 to the heart.

What is a cardiac ablation procedure?

Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat certain types of fast heart rhythms. A specialist uses catheters to locate and eliminate the problematic heart tissue with heat or cold energy, often resolving the arrhythmia.

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.
