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

• Tilt_Testing: As a preventative measure, tilt table testing can assess your risk of syncope (fainting), which could be linked to underlying heart problems.
• Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmias: To proactively manage your heart health, cardiac ablation can eliminate irregular heartbeats that might lead to stroke or heart failure.
• 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: For early detection of potential heart problems and to take proactive steps for long-term heart health, a nuclear stress test allows your doctor to assess how well your heart responds to stress, which is essential in preventing future cardiovascular events.
• 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.
• HeartAware Online Risk Screening: Proactively assess your cardiovascular risk with our HeartAware online screening tool – a simple step towards preventing future heart problems.
• Arrhythmia Screening: Protecting your heart starts with knowing its rhythm: an arrhythmia screening can identify irregularities and allow for timely intervention.
• Cardiovascular Diagnostic Test: Take charge of your heart health with a cardiovascular diagnostic test; it screens for hidden conditions, helping you make informed lifestyle choices and reduce your risk of future heart disease.
• 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.
• Removal or Revision of Pacemaker or Cardioverter and-or Defibrillator: A check-up of your pacemaker or defibrillator helps identify and address any issues early, reducing your risk of heart problems and improving your quality of life.
• 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.
• Insertion of Left Ventricular Lead for Pacemaker or Cardioverter and Defibrillator: To help maintain a healthy heart rhythm and prevent sudden cardiac arrest, a small wire may be placed in your heart's main pumping chamber to monitor and regulate its electrical activity.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Samantha Sublette:

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 that need expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Samantha Sublette?

Your first visit with Dr. Sublette 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 is within your reach. Knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key preventive steps. By proactively addressing these factors, you empower yourself to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

What is an echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram, or "echo," is a safe and painless ultrasound of your heart. It uses sound waves to create moving pictures, allowing Dr. Sublette to assess your heart muscle strength, check your heart valve function, and detect any structural problems.

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.

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.

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. Sublette 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 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 that can be managed with medications and lifestyle changes. Dr. Sublette works with patients to improve heart function and reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling.
