A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Themis Komodromos 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:

• Arterial Insufficiency: Early detection of arterial insufficiency is key to preventing its progression and the development of more severe problems like gangrene or stroke.
• Congestive Heart Failure: Managing high blood pressure and cholesterol are key to preventing congestive heart failure, a serious condition that impacts the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.
• Arteriovenous Fistula: Arteriovenous fistulas, although not always a primary heart problem, can significantly strain your cardiovascular system and should be monitored to prevent heart-related complications.
• Coronary Artery Chronic Total Occlusion: Having a chronically completely blocked coronary artery significantly increases your risk of heart attack and stroke, emphasizing the need for proactive cardiovascular risk management.
• Renal Artery Stenosis (RAS): Preventing complications from narrowed kidney arteries (renal artery stenosis) involves managing blood pressure and cholesterol, ultimately protecting your heart and kidneys.
• Intermittent Claudication: Don't ignore leg pain that improves with rest (intermittent claudication): it could be a sign of peripheral artery disease, which is preventable through lifestyle changes like improved diet and exercise, and can help prevent more serious cardiovascular events.
• Bradycardia: Bradycardia, a slow heart rate, may not cause symptoms but early detection is crucial as it can sometimes indicate a more serious underlying heart problem.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Themis Komodromos:

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 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. Themis Komodromos?

Your first visit with Dr. Komodromos will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, obtain 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 achievable. Knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key preventive steps. By taking these actions, you are actively shaping your own heart health destiny.

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 curing the arrhythmia.

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 surgeries. It strengthens the heart, reduces risk factors, and helps patients safely regain their confidence and quality of life.

What is a pacemaker, and who needs one?

A pacemaker is a small electronic device implanted under the skin to help regulate a slow or irregular heartbeat. It's needed when the heart's natural electrical system isn't working correctly, ensuring the heart beats at a proper, steady rate.

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

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 in the heart. 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 up to the heart.
