A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Sabas Gomez 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:

• Heart Valve Disorders: Heart valve disorders, if detected early and managed properly, can prevent serious complications like heart failure and stroke, preserving heart health for years to come.
• Sick Sinus Syndrome: Sick sinus syndrome is a heart rhythm disorder where your heart's natural pacemaker doesn't work properly, making early detection and management crucial to prevent serious complications like fainting or heart failure.
• Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Managing DVT effectively means receiving prompt medical attention and following your doctor's treatment plan to prevent potentially fatal consequences and ensure better cardiovascular health.
• Type 2 Heart Block - Mobitz: Early detection of Mobitz type 2 heart block, a type of irregular heartbeat, is crucial as it helps doctors implement preventive measures to avoid potentially life-threatening consequences.
• Cardiomegaly: Preventing heart disease often involves monitoring for cardiomegaly, as an enlarged heart can indicate increased cardiovascular risk and the need for lifestyle changes or medical intervention.
• Noninfective Endocarditis: Preventing damage to your heart valves through proactive management of conditions like high blood pressure or rheumatic fever can significantly reduce your risk of developing noninfective endocarditis.
• Congenital Aortic Valve Disorders: A congenital aortic valve disorder means your aortic valve didn't form properly at birth, so understanding this condition and following your doctor's recommendations is key to preventing more severe heart issues.
• Acute Endocarditis: Preventing infections, especially dental ones, is crucial to avoid acute endocarditis, a serious heart valve infection that can be prevented with proper hygiene and timely medical attention.
• Hypertensive Encephalopathy: Early detection and treatment of high blood pressure are essential for preventing hypertensive encephalopathy, a life-threatening condition that can cause seizures, coma, and even death.
• 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.
• Chronic Congestive Heart Failure: Preventing the worsening of chronic congestive heart failure involves regular check-ups with your doctor and adherence to a prescribed treatment plan to slow disease progression.
• First Degree Heart Block: Although often asymptomatic, first-degree heart block is a condition best addressed through regular check-ups to prevent future cardiac complications.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Sabas Gomez:

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. Sabas Gomez?

Your first visit with Dr. Gomez 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 is achievable. Knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

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. Sabas Gomez is an expert at determining the cause, often using an echocardiogram to see if the murmur is related to a heart valve problem needing monitoring or treatment.

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. We start with foundational lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and then add medication when necessary to safely reach a personalized blood pressure goal.

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. Sabas Gomez 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?

LDL, or "lousy" cholesterol, can build up plaque in your arteries, potentially causing blockages. HDL, or "healthy" cholesterol, helps remove this LDL from your body. Dr. Sabas Gomez helps manage both types to prevent heart disease.

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 in the wrist or groin to the heart.
