A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Ramil Goel 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:

• Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious blood clot in a deep vein, often in the leg, that needs prompt treatment to prevent it from traveling to the lungs and causing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.
• Pericardial Disease: Pericardial disease involves inflammation or infection of the sac surrounding your heart, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent serious complications.
• Angina: Managing angina effectively through medication and lifestyle modifications is key to preventing more severe heart issues like heart attacks and strokes.
• Pulmonary Hypertension: Managing pulmonary hypertension effectively reduces the strain on your heart and lungs, lowering your risk of stroke and other life-threatening events.
• Lipid Disorders: Untreated lipid disorders can significantly increase your chances of having a heart attack or stroke; proactive management is key to protecting your cardiovascular health.
• Hypertensive Heart Disease: Hypertensive heart disease means your high blood pressure is damaging your heart, making prevention through blood pressure control crucial to avoid serious complications.
• Atrial Flutter: Regular screenings and healthy lifestyle choices can help identify atrial flutter early, allowing for timely intervention and preventing life-threatening heart events.
• Hypertensive Chronic Kidney Disease: Hypertensive chronic kidney disease means high blood pressure is damaging your kidneys, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent further harm and protect your heart health.
• Cardiac Tamponade: Cardiac tamponade is a serious condition resulting from fluid accumulating around the heart, emphasizing the significance of managing risk factors and seeking immediate medical attention should symptoms arise.
• Hyperlipidemia: Managing hyperlipidemia through diet and exercise, or medication if needed, is essential for lowering your risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life.
• Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Managing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation effectively, often through medication or lifestyle changes, is crucial for preventing potentially life-threatening blood clots and strokes.
• 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.

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

• 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.
• Nuclear Stress Testing: To take a proactive step toward a healthier heart, a nuclear stress test helps doctors identify areas of reduced blood flow, enabling early diagnosis and prevention of heart disease.
• Carotid Ultrasound: A carotid ultrasound is a painless test that uses sound waves to check for blockages in the arteries leading to your brain, helping prevent strokes.
• Coronary Angiogram: Taking a proactive step towards heart health, a coronary angiogram allows doctors to assess the condition of your coronary arteries and identify areas needing treatment to prevent future cardiovascular events.
• Cardiac Ablation: To proactively manage your heart rhythm, cardiac ablation targets and corrects faulty electrical signals that cause dangerous or uncomfortable arrhythmias.
• Cardiovascular Diagnostic Test: Gain valuable insights into your cardiovascular health with a diagnostic test, which helps identify risk factors and guide personalized strategies to prevent heart issues.
• Electrophysiological Study: To proactively safeguard your heart health, an electrophysiological study helps identify hidden electrical issues in your heart that might cause dangerous arrhythmias, paving the way for appropriate treatment and reducing your risk of stroke or heart attack.
• Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: This test combines medication with special imaging to pinpoint areas of your heart that may not be receiving enough blood, enabling early diagnosis and preventative measures against heart disease and stroke.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: This non-invasive test evaluates your heart's response to stress, allowing for early diagnosis of coronary artery disease and helping prevent serious heart events.
• Pacemaker Monitoring: Regular pacemaker monitoring helps your doctor ensure your device is working correctly and preventing dangerous heart rhythm problems.
• Cardioversion: Cardioversion is a life-saving procedure to treat dangerous irregular heartbeats that could lead to heart failure, stroke, or even sudden death.
• Treadmill Stress Test: To proactively safeguard your heart, a treadmill stress test evaluates how well your heart functions during exercise, identifying any weaknesses before they become serious issues.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Ramil Goel:

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. Ramil Goel?

Your first visit with Dr. Goel will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll 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.

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 proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a 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.

What is a TAVR procedure?

TAVR, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, is a groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, TAVR uses a catheter, resulting in a much faster recovery for eligible patients.

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 substantial risk for heart attack and stroke.

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. This involves foundational lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and, when necessary, medication 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. Goel is an expert in managing AFib with medications and procedures to control the rhythm and prevent strokes.
