A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Rajat Sanyal 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:

• Type 2 Heart Block - Mobitz: Mobitz type 2 heart block is a rhythm problem where your heart's electrical signals don't always reach the lower chambers efficiently, highlighting the importance of regular heart check-ups to catch and manage this condition before it causes serious complications.
• Hyperlipidemia: Hyperlipidemia increases your chances of heart attack and stroke, but with proactive management, including healthy habits and medical guidance, you can significantly reduce these risks.
• Hypertensive Heart Disease: Protecting your heart from the damage caused by high blood pressure is essential – managing hypertension prevents the development of hypertensive heart disease.
• Systolic Heart Failure: Recognizing and addressing the symptoms of systolic heart failure early can significantly impact the disease's course, preserving your heart's function and preventing long-term health problems.
• Mitral Valve Stenosis: Preventing complications from mitral valve stenosis involves understanding your risk factors, such as rheumatic fever history, and undergoing regular cardiac evaluations.
• Chronic Congestive Heart Failure: Chronic congestive heart failure means your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs, and preventing it involves managing risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes.
• Chronic Pulmonary Heart Diseases (incl. Pulmonary Hypertension): Pulmonary hypertension and other chronic lung diseases put extra pressure on your heart; regular checkups and treatment are vital for heart health.
• Cardiomyopathy: Protecting your heart from cardiomyopathy involves managing risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes to avoid further damage and improve your heart's function.
• 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: Regular check-ups and attention to your overall heart health are vital for early detection of congestive heart failure, allowing for timely intervention and preventing further damage.
• Heart Valve Disorders: Regular checkups are crucial for identifying heart valve problems early, enabling timely treatment to minimize long-term damage and improve quality of life.
• Aneurysm of Heart: Managing risk factors like high blood pressure and smoking is crucial in preventing the development of a heart aneurysm, protecting your heart's health.

• Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: Ensure your heart's structural integrity with a comprehensive evaluation; early detection of abnormalities can prevent the development of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues.
• HeartAware Online Risk Screening: HeartAware's online risk screening provides a personalized assessment of your risk factors for heart disease and stroke, empowering you to make informed decisions about your health.
• Cardiac Ultrasound: Take a proactive step towards heart health with a cardiac ultrasound; this imaging test screens for issues like heart valve problems and blockages, enabling timely interventions.
• Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (PAD): Don't wait for symptoms – proactive PAD screening helps identify and treat artery narrowing in your legs and feet before they cause significant health issues.
• Cardiac Imaging: To proactively safeguard your heart health, cardiac imaging provides a visual assessment of your heart's structure and function, enabling early detection of issues such as blockages or weakened areas, leading to timely intervention.
• Pacemaker Insertion or Replacement: If you experience fainting spells or irregular heartbeats, a pacemaker can help restore a healthy rhythm and prevent serious health events.
• 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.
• 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.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: Take a proactive step towards heart health with a cardiovascular stress test; it checks how well your heart functions during physical activity to identify hidden risks of heart disease or stroke.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): An EKG is a crucial preventative measure for identifying silent heart conditions before they cause symptoms, giving you the opportunity to take proactive steps to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
• Cardiac Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: Cardiac myocardial perfusion imaging is a non-invasive scan that helps doctors assess how well blood flows to your heart muscle, allowing for early detection of potential heart problems and preventing future heart attacks or strokes.
• Arrhythmia Screening: Early detection is key to managing heart health; arrhythmia screening helps identify irregular heartbeats, allowing for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Rajat Sanyal:

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 require specialized management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Rajat Sanyal?

Your first visit with Dr. Sanyal will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will 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, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack. By making these lifestyle choices, you are actively shaping your heart's future.

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. Sanyal is an expert in managing AFib with medications and procedures to control the rhythm and prevent strokes.

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. This non-invasive test is a key tool for identifying 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.

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 small area of heart tissue causing the problem, often curing the arrhythmia, with heat or cold energy.

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. Sanyal uses medications and lifestyle changes to improve heart function and reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling.
