A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Sarah Mansson 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:

• Infective Endocarditis: Early detection of infective endocarditis is crucial as it can lead to severe heart damage; regular check-ups and awareness of symptoms are vital for prevention.
• Secondary Hypertension: Secondary hypertension means your high blood pressure is caused by another health condition, and managing that underlying condition is key to lowering your blood pressure and preventing heart problems.
• Acute Coronary Syndrome: A heart-healthy lifestyle and proactive monitoring of cholesterol and blood pressure are essential for preventing Acute Coronary Syndrome, a sudden reduction in blood flow to the heart.
• Cardiomegaly: Cardiomegaly, an enlarged heart, emphasizes the importance of proactive cardiovascular health, as its development often signals underlying issues that require prompt attention to prevent serious consequences.
• Syncope: If you experience syncope, early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent falls and injuries, as well as detect potentially life-threatening heart conditions.
• Systolic Heart Failure: Preventing systolic heart failure involves proactive steps to control risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol, ensuring your heart can pump blood strongly for years to come.
• Congenital Heart Defects: Understanding and addressing congenital heart defects from birth is a cornerstone of preventive cardiology, minimizing the risk of debilitating heart conditions later in life.
• Arrhythmias: Arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats, are a preventable cause of many cardiovascular diseases, so regular checkups and lifestyle changes are important for prevention.
• Heart Disease: Early detection and management of heart disease are crucial to prevent serious complications, such as heart failure and stroke, so don't ignore any symptoms and prioritize regular health screenings.
• 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.
• Aneurysm of Heart: Addressing underlying conditions like high cholesterol and family history of heart aneurysms is vital in reducing your personal risk and preventing this potentially fatal condition.
• Unstable Angina: Unstable angina signals a critical issue with your coronary arteries, making prompt diagnosis and treatment essential to avoid a heart attack or stroke.

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

• 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.
• 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.
• Cardiac Imaging: Cardiac imaging uses advanced technology like X-rays, ultrasounds, or CT scans to create detailed pictures of your heart and blood vessels, helping doctors detect problems early and prevent serious heart conditions like heart attacks and strokes.
• 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.
• Cardioversion: Protecting your heart health starts with cardioversion, a procedure that corrects abnormal heart rhythms, reducing your risk of serious complications.
• 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 Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): This procedure involves a thin tube inserted into your blood vessels to visualize your heart and coronary arteries, helping identify potential problems before they cause serious symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
• 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: 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.
• Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: To help prevent heart attacks and strokes, this test uses medication and imaging to assess your heart's response to stress, helping identify blockages or other issues that need attention.
• Tilt_Testing: As a preventative measure, tilt table testing can assess your risk of syncope (fainting), which could be linked to underlying heart problems.
• Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: As a proactive step toward better cardiovascular health, this ultrasound and plethysmography exam helps your doctor assess your blood flow, identifying any blockages or abnormalities that may increase your risk of heart disease or stroke.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Sarah Mansson:

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 requiring expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Sarah Mansson?

Your first visit with Dr. Mansson will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, conduct a physical exam, perform 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 actions empower you to significantly reduce your risk of heart attack.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

Dr. Mansson and her team focus on preventing long-term damage from high blood pressure by addressing the underlying cause. We start with lifestyle changes like a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise. Medication is added when needed to safely reach a personalized blood pressure goal, minimizing risk to your heart, brain, and kidneys.

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. However, P.A.D. affects the arteries in the legs and feet. Having P.A.D. is a significant warning sign, indicating a substantial risk of heart attack and stroke.

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

Good" (HDL) cholesterol is like a helpful cleaner, removing "bad" (LDL) cholesterol from your body. "Bad" cholesterol is the "lousy" kind that builds up plaque in your arteries, potentially leading to blockages. Dr. Mansson helps manage both to prevent heart disease.

What is a cardiac ablation procedure?

Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure to treat certain fast heart rhythms. A specialist uses catheters to pinpoint and eliminate the problematic heart tissue using heat or cold energy, often resolving the arrhythmia.

What is the purpose of cardiac rehabilitation?

Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program combining exercise and education to help patients recover from heart conditions like heart attacks, stents, or surgeries. It strengthens the heart, reduces risk factors, and helps patients safely regain their confidence and quality of life.
