• Cardiomegaly: Cardiomegaly, or an enlarged heart, can be a sign of underlying heart conditions, making early detection and management crucial for preventing serious complications like heart failure.
• Congenital Aortic Valve Disorders: Since congenital aortic valve disorders are present from birth, it's crucial to receive regular screenings and follow a tailored care plan to minimize potential health risks and maximize your quality of life.
• Pulmonary Valve Disease: Managing risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol is essential for preventing or slowing the progression of pulmonary valve disease.
• Chronic Congestive Heart Failure: By taking steps to manage conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing chronic congestive heart failure.
• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition where plaque buildup narrows your heart's arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke, but proactive lifestyle changes and medical care can significantly reduce these risks.
• Prinzmetal Angina: Understanding and managing Prinzmetal angina, a specific kind of angina, is vital for preventing serious heart problems and ensuring your heart's long-term health.
• Ventricular Fibrillation: Early detection of heart conditions that might lead to ventricular fibrillation, like coronary artery disease, is crucial for preventing this potentially fatal arrhythmia.
• Heart Attack (Acute Myocardial Infarction): Early detection of heart attack symptoms is crucial for minimizing long-term damage to your heart, emphasizing the importance of proactive health management.
• Syncope: Managing conditions like heart disease or low blood pressure that can cause syncope reduces your risk of future fainting episodes and associated harm.
• 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.
• Heart Attack (STEMI): Preventing heart attacks like STEMI involves proactive management of risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol, allowing for early intervention and a better chance of recovery.
• Mitral and Aortic Valve Disorder: Mitral and aortic valve disorders, if detected early, can be managed to prevent serious heart problems like heart failure and stroke.

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 that need expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Saurabh Aggarwal?

Your first visit with Dr. Aggarwal will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, and obtain an EKG. This will also include a discussion of your lifestyle and risk factors, to help create 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 levels, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key preventive steps. By making these lifestyle choices, you are actively shaping your heart's future.

What is a calcium score screening?

A calcium score screening is a special CT scan of the heart that measures the amount of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. It's a powerful preventive tool to help Dr. Aggarwal better understand your future risk of a heart attack and guide the intensity of your prevention strategy.

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, leading to a much faster recovery for eligible patients.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

We treat high blood pressure by focusing on preventing long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. This involves foundational lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and when necessary, we add medication to help safely reach a personalized target blood pressure.

What is a heart murmur?

A heart murmur is an extra sound heard when listening to the heart. Many murmurs are innocent and harmless; however, Dr. Aggarwal 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.
