A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Stacey Regis 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:
- Congenital Heart Defects, Pediatric: Early identification and ongoing management of congenital heart defects in children are vital for preventing potential heart-related complications that could arise during adulthood.
- Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation: Having a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation means your lungs have abnormal blood vessel connections, potentially leading to serious complications. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing life-threatening consequences.
- Septal Defect: Because a septal defect can cause a mix of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood, preventing complications requires consistent monitoring and, if needed, surgical intervention.
- Congenital Absence of the Sternocleidomastoid Muscle: Early detection of related conditions associated with the absence of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is crucial for preventive cardiology as it can sometimes indicate broader health concerns impacting the heart.
- Hypercoagulable State: Understanding if you have a hypercoagulable state allows for targeted preventive strategies, such as medication or lifestyle changes, to minimize your risk of blood clots and their potentially devastating effects on your heart and blood vessels.
- Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis is a gradual buildup of plaque in your arteries, and understanding your risk factors early on can help prevent heart disease and stroke.
- Abnormal Heart Beat: Experiencing an irregular heartbeat? Seeking medical attention and actively managing this condition helps prevent future heart problems and maintain a healthier heart.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Stacey Regis offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:
- Valvuloplasty: Valvuloplasty is a procedure that helps restore proper blood flow through a narrowed or malfunctioning heart valve, preventing serious heart problems.
- Cardiac Electrophysiology: Ensure a healthy heart rhythm and prevent future complications by undergoing a cardiac electrophysiology study, which assesses your heart's electrical signals to detect and treat potentially harmful arrhythmias.
- Peripheral Artery Bypass: Taking a proactive step towards better leg health, peripheral artery bypass surgery addresses reduced blood flow, alleviating symptoms and lowering the risk of serious complications.
- Saphenous Vein Harvest for CABG: As part of a comprehensive approach to preventing heart disease, saphenous vein harvesting may be used during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to restore blood flow to the heart muscle, preventing future cardiac events.
- Cardiovascular Surgical Procedure: As part of managing cardiovascular risk, a cardiovascular surgical procedure can be a crucial step in restoring heart function and enhancing overall well-being.
- Emergency Cardioversion: To protect against sudden cardiac arrest, emergency cardioversion uses electrical impulses to correct dangerously fast or irregular heart rhythms, potentially saving your life.
- Impella Device: As a proactive measure to protect your heart during high-risk procedures, the Impella device helps maintain adequate blood flow, reducing the chance of complications.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Stacey Regis:
- What is a Cardiologist, and when should I see one?
- A cardiologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions of 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. Stacey Regis?
- Your first visit with Dr. Regis 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 involves managing blood pressure and cholesterol, avoiding smoking, engaging in regular physical activity, and adopting a heart-healthy diet. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.
- 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. Regis 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?
- Good" (HDL) cholesterol is helpful, carrying "bad" (LDL) cholesterol away from the arteries. "Bad" cholesterol can build up plaque, potentially blocking blood flow. Dr. Regis helps manage both types to prevent heart disease.
- 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. This plaque buildup affects the arteries in the legs and feet. Having P.A.D. is a significant warning sign, indicating a very high risk for heart attack and stroke.
- How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?
- We aim to not only lower your blood pressure numbers, but also to prevent long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. Our approach starts with personalized lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and we'll add medication when needed to help you safely reach your ideal blood pressure target.
- What is a cardiac ablation procedure?
- A cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat certain types of fast heart rhythms. A specialist uses catheters to locate and eliminate the small area of heart tissue causing the problem, often curing the arrhythmia, using heat or cold energy.
