A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Sameer Verma 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:

• Hypertensive Heart and Chronic Kidney Disease: Hypertension and chronic kidney disease are interconnected conditions that can damage your heart and kidneys; proactive care, including medication and diet changes, is vital to prevent further harm.
• Arrhythmias: Preventing future heart complications starts with understanding arrhythmias—irregular heart rhythms that, when addressed, significantly reduce your risk of serious cardiovascular events.
• Palpitations: Don't ignore those unsettling heart palpitations; proactive assessment and management can significantly reduce your risk of developing more severe heart conditions.
• Accelerated Hypertension: Accelerated hypertension is a rapid increase in blood pressure that significantly raises your risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage, emphasizing the importance of regular blood pressure checks and proactive risk management.
• Noninfective Endocarditis: Early detection of conditions that can contribute to noninfective endocarditis, such as autoimmune diseases or certain valve disorders, is crucial for preventing long-term heart damage.
• Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia: Catching and treating PSVT early helps prevent long-term heart damage and improves your overall cardiovascular health through proactive monitoring and lifestyle adjustments.
• Hypotension: Understanding and managing your blood pressure, both high and low, is essential in preventative care to reduce your risk of cardiovascular problems.
• Heart Attack (NSTEMI): Managing risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol is key in preventing NSTEMI, a type of heart attack, and ensuring better long-term cardiovascular health.
• Atypical Atrial Flutter: Managing atypical atrial flutter effectively through medication or procedures helps prevent blood clots, thus reducing your risk of a potentially life-threatening stroke.
• Lipid Disorders: Keeping your cholesterol and other fats in your blood at healthy levels through diet and lifestyle changes, or medication if needed, helps prevent heart disease and stroke.
• Sinus Tachycardia: Managing sinus tachycardia effectively through lifestyle adjustments and medical supervision can significantly reduce your risk of developing more serious cardiovascular issues.
• Rheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Untreated rheumatic fever can cause rheumatic tricuspid disease, emphasizing the critical role of preventive measures like prompt antibiotic treatment of strep throat infections.

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

• 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.
• Coronary Stenting: If you have significant blockage in your heart's arteries, a coronary stent can be placed to improve blood flow, lowering your risk of a life-threatening heart attack.
• Heart Valvuloplasty of Mitral Valve Without Replacement: As part of your proactive heart health strategy, a mitral valve valvuloplasty (without replacement) can repair a damaged mitral valve, thereby preventing the need for a full valve replacement and minimizing future heart problems.
• Angioplasty: To prevent future heart problems, angioplasty uses a tiny balloon to widen narrowed arteries, restoring healthy blood flow to your heart.
• Thrombolysis: Protecting your heart and brain requires immediate action if a blood clot blocks an artery. Thrombolysis is a time-sensitive treatment that dissolves these clots, preventing permanent damage.
• Renal Artery Angioplasty: To proactively protect your heart health, renal artery angioplasty can help restore blood flow to your kidneys, lowering your blood pressure and reducing the strain on your cardiovascular system.
• Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): As part of your proactive heart health plan, PCI helps restore blood flow to your heart muscle, potentially preventing serious complications like a heart attack.
• Peripheral Angioplasty: Peripheral angioplasty is a procedure that opens narrowed or blocked arteries in your legs and feet, improving blood flow and reducing your risk of complications like amputation.
• Mitral Valve Repair: For a healthier heart, consider mitral valve repair. This surgical intervention addresses a dysfunctional mitral valve to prevent future heart-related problems and improve quality of life.
• 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.
• 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.
• Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: Take a proactive step towards a healthier heart by undergoing a structural heart disease evaluation to detect potential problems early and prevent serious complications.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Sameer Verma:

What is a Cardiologist, and when should I see one?

A cardiologist is a medical doctor 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 needing expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Sameer Verma?

Your first visit with Dr. Verma 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 steps. By actively participating in these lifestyle choices, you can 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 cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how your heart functions during physical activity. You walk on a treadmill while your EKG and blood pressure are monitored. This is a key non-invasive tool to detect potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

What is the difference between 'good' (HDL) and 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol?

Good" (HDL) cholesterol is helpful, carrying "bad" (LDL) cholesterol away from the arteries. "Bad" cholesterol can build up, forming plaque and causing blockages. Dr. Sameer Verma helps manage both types to prevent heart disease.

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 is performed through a catheter, leading to a much faster recovery for eligible patients.

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