• Hypertensive Heart Disease: Protecting your heart from the damage caused by high blood pressure is essential – managing hypertension prevents the development of hypertensive heart disease.
• 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.
• Acute Congestive Heart Failure: Acute congestive heart failure is a medical emergency that underscores the need for consistent monitoring of your cardiovascular health to identify and address risk factors before they lead to severe complications.
• Arrhythmias: Arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats, are a preventable cause of many cardiovascular diseases, so regular checkups and lifestyle changes are important for prevention.
• Sinus Tachycardia: Managing sinus tachycardia effectively through lifestyle adjustments and medical supervision can significantly reduce your risk of developing more serious cardiovascular issues.
• Pulmonary Valve Disease: Regular check-ups are crucial for identifying pulmonary valve disease, allowing for timely intervention and minimizing the risk of future heart problems.
• Aortic Aneurysm: By addressing risk factors and undergoing recommended screenings, you can significantly decrease your chances of developing an aortic aneurysm and protect yourself from its severe consequences.
• Mitral Valve Stenosis: Preventing complications from mitral valve stenosis involves understanding your risk factors, such as rheumatic fever history, and undergoing regular cardiac evaluations.
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA): An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a serious condition where the main artery in your abdomen swells, and proactive screenings and lifestyle changes can prevent serious complications.
• Supraventricular Tachycardia: Regular monitoring and early diagnosis of supraventricular tachycardia are essential for preventing long-term damage to your heart and reducing the risk of life-threatening events.
• Atrial Flutter: Atrial flutter is an irregular heartbeat that, if left untreated, can increase your risk of stroke and heart failure, highlighting the importance of regular heart checkups.
• Mitral Valve Disease: Mitral valve disease, a condition affecting the heart's valve, may be preventable or its progression slowed through lifestyle changes and proactive medical care.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Subhash Thareja:

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 that require expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Subhash Thareja?

Your first visit with Dr. Thareja will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, conduct a physical exam, perform an EKG, and discuss your 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 to preventing a heart attack. These proactive steps empower you to shape your heart health destiny.

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 Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), and is it dangerous?

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a common type of irregular and often rapid heartbeat. While the irregular rhythm itself isn't usually life-threatening, it significantly increases the risk of stroke. Dr. Thareja is an expert in managing AFib with medications and procedures to control the rhythm and prevent strokes.

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