• Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Understanding your risk for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and taking proactive steps to control risk factors such as high blood pressure can significantly reduce your chances of developing this condition.
• Aortic Ectasia: Aortic ectasia is a widening of the aorta, your body's largest artery, and early detection through regular checkups can help prevent serious complications like aortic dissection.
• Hypertensive Encephalopathy: Managing high blood pressure effectively is crucial to prevent hypertensive encephalopathy, a dangerous condition where high blood pressure damages the brain, highlighting the need for lifestyle changes and medication adherence.
• Type 2 Heart Block - Mobitz: Having Mobitz type 2 heart block means your heart's beat isn't always regular, emphasizing the need for proactive cardiovascular risk management to prevent strokes or other heart problems.
• Congenital Heart Defects: Congenital heart defects are heart problems present at birth, and early detection through prenatal care and newborn screenings can help prevent serious complications later in life.
• Arrhythmias: Preventing future heart complications starts with understanding arrhythmias—irregular heart rhythms that, when addressed, significantly reduce your risk of serious cardiovascular events.
• Acute Congestive Heart Failure: Preventing heart disease through lifestyle changes and regular checkups can significantly reduce your risk of experiencing acute congestive heart failure, a life-threatening event.
• Rheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Early detection of rheumatic tricuspid disease is crucial as it can lead to heart failure if left unmanaged, emphasizing the need for regular check-ups and prompt medical attention for any signs of heart valve problems.
• Hyperlipidemia: Managing hyperlipidemia through diet and exercise, or medication if needed, is essential for lowering your risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life.
• Third Degree Heart Block: Early identification of third-degree heart block, a condition where the heart's electrical signals are disrupted, is crucial in preventing life-threatening events like sudden cardiac arrest, showcasing the value of preventive cardiology strategies.
• Heart Disease: Managing heart disease effectively involves understanding your risk factors, making positive lifestyle choices, and collaborating with your healthcare provider to control conditions and avoid future heart problems.
• Second Degree Heart Block: Having a second-degree heart block means your heart's electrical system isn't working perfectly, leading to irregular heartbeats; proactive monitoring and treatment can significantly reduce your risk of stroke and other heart problems.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Cardiac Ultrasound: Protect your heart by getting a cardiac ultrasound – a non-invasive scan that provides detailed images of your heart's structure and function, aiding in the early diagnosis of heart conditions.
• Cardioversion: Cardioversion is a procedure that uses electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm, helping prevent strokes and other complications from irregular heartbeats.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a simple test that checks your heart's rhythm and electrical activity, helping detect potential problems early and prevent serious heart issues like heart attacks or strokes.
• Tilt_Testing: Tilt table testing helps doctors identify the cause of fainting or dizziness, potentially preventing serious heart-related complications.
• 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.

Your first visit with Dr. Zaidi will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, take 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, incorporating regular physical activity, and adopting a heart-healthy diet. These proactive steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of heart attack.

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. Zaidi better understand your future risk of a heart attack and guide the intensity of your prevention strategy.

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 heightened risk of heart attack and stroke.

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how your heart performs during physical activity. You walk on a treadmill while your EKG and blood pressure are monitored. It's a key non-invasive tool to detect potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

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 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 used to treat certain types of fast heart rhythms. A specialist uses catheters to locate and eliminate the problematic heart tissue using heat or cold energy, often resolving the arrhythmia.
