A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Swathy Kolli 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 Chronic Kidney Disease: Protecting your heart and kidneys requires proactive management of high blood pressure, especially if you already have chronic kidney disease; regular monitoring and treatment are essential.
• Atherosclerosis of Aorta: Atherosclerosis of the aorta means fatty deposits are hardening your main artery, impacting blood flow. Regular checkups and proactive management can significantly slow or stop this process, protecting your heart health.
• Nonrheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Managing risk factors like high blood pressure and heart infections is crucial in preventing or slowing the progression of nonrheumatic tricuspid disease.
• Chest Pain: Preventing future heart events starts with recognizing chest pain as a potential warning sign and taking proactive steps to address any underlying health concerns.
• Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD): Early detection of AVSD, a hole in the heart present at birth, is crucial for minimizing future health risks and maximizing the chances of a healthy life.
• Noninfective Endocarditis: Noninfective endocarditis, while not caused by infection, can damage your heart valves and lead to serious complications, highlighting the importance of regular heart check-ups and managing underlying conditions to prevent its development.
• Congenital Heart Disease: Congenital heart disease refers to heart defects present at birth, and early detection through prenatal screenings and newborn examinations is crucial for timely intervention and preventing long-term complications.
• Chronic Venous Embolism Thrombosis: Chronic venous embolism thrombosis (CVET) is a serious condition where blood clots repeatedly form in the veins, increasing your risk of life-threatening complications like pulmonary embolism; early detection and treatment are crucial for prevention.
• Primary Pulmonary Hypertension: Primary pulmonary hypertension is a serious condition affecting blood flow to your lungs that often requires proactive management to reduce the risks of heart failure and other severe consequences.
• Chronic Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Persistent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) needs careful management to prevent long-term damage to your veins, blood clots traveling to your lungs, and other serious health issues.
• Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Managing DVT effectively means receiving prompt medical attention and following your doctor's treatment plan to prevent potentially fatal consequences and ensure better cardiovascular health.
• Mitral and Aortic Valve Disorder: Preventing further damage to your heart valves is crucial; early detection and treatment of mitral and aortic valve disorders can dramatically improve your quality of life.

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

• Cardioversion: Take a proactive step toward better heart health: cardioversion can restore your heart to a healthy rhythm, significantly lowering your risk of future cardiovascular events.
• Dobutamine Thallium Stress Test: This non-invasive test helps detect coronary artery disease early, allowing for prompt treatment and reducing your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: A cardiovascular stress test provides valuable insights into your heart's ability to handle stress, allowing for timely intervention and preventative measures to maintain optimal cardiovascular health.
• Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of Heart or Chest: A cardiac MRI offers a comprehensive view of your heart and chest, providing critical information to detect and monitor cardiovascular diseases early on, thus promoting better management of your risk factors and improving overall heart health.
• Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: Take charge of your cardiovascular health with a vascular duplex ultrasound and plethysmography. This simple test provides crucial insights into your circulatory system, enabling early detection of conditions that could lead to a stroke or heart attack.
• Tilt_Testing: Tilt table testing helps doctors identify the cause of fainting or dizziness, potentially preventing serious heart-related complications.
• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): A cardiac catheterization helps doctors check your heart's arteries for blockages that could lead to a heart attack or stroke, allowing for early intervention and prevention.
• Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: Protect your heart's health with a structural heart disease assessment; this evaluation helps identify and address issues like valve problems or birth defects before they cause significant damage.
• Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (PAD): A PAD screening helps detect narrowed arteries in your legs and feet, allowing for early treatment to prevent serious complications like heart attack or stroke.
• 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.
• Nuclear Stress Testing: Protecting your heart's future starts with a nuclear stress test, which uses a small amount of radioactive material to create images showing how well blood flows to your heart muscle, thus allowing for early detection of coronary artery disease.
• 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Swathy Kolli:

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 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. Swathy Kolli?

Your first visit with Dr. Kolli will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, conduct a physical exam, obtain an EKG, and discuss lifestyle factors 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, incorporating 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 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. Kolli will work with you to use medications and lifestyle changes to improve heart function and reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling.

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 ablation procedure?

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

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 high risk of heart attack and stroke.

What is a heart murmur?

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