• Aortic Valve Disease: Managing aortic valve disease involves proactive steps to control its progression, reducing your risk of stroke or other cardiovascular events.
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA): Preventing a potentially fatal event, regular checkups help detect abdominal aortic aneurysms, a weakening of the aorta that, if left untreated, can rupture.
• Congenital Heart Defects: Preventing serious health consequences associated with congenital heart defects often involves early diagnosis and proactive intervention to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
• Hyperlipidemia: Managing hyperlipidemia through diet and exercise, or medication if needed, is essential for lowering your risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life.
• Sinus Tachycardia: Managing sinus tachycardia effectively through lifestyle adjustments and medical supervision can significantly reduce your risk of developing more serious cardiovascular issues.
• Nonrheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Regular heart health screenings are vital for early identification of nonrheumatic tricuspid valve issues, allowing for timely intervention and preventing worsening symptoms.
• Congenital Aortic Valve Disorders: Preventing serious complications from a congenital aortic valve disorder requires consistent monitoring and adhering to your doctor's advice, helping to maintain overall heart health and prevent stroke.
• Rheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Untreated rheumatic fever can cause rheumatic tricuspid disease, emphasizing the critical role of preventive measures like prompt antibiotic treatment of strep throat infections.
• Hypertensive Heart and Chronic Kidney Disease: Having both high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease significantly raises your chances of developing heart problems; regular checkups and lifestyle changes can help manage this risk.
• Type 2 Heart Block - Mobitz: Early detection of Mobitz type 2 heart block, a type of irregular heartbeat, is crucial as it helps doctors implement preventive measures to avoid potentially life-threatening consequences.
• Pericardial Disease: Managing risk factors like infections and autoimmune disorders is crucial in preventing pericardial disease and protecting your heart health.
• Wolff-Parkinson-White Pattern: Having a Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern means your heart's electrical system has an extra pathway, potentially leading to irregular heartbeats; proactive management through cardiology care reduces your risk of life-threatening events.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. Tudor Scridon:

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 such as 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. Tudor Scridon?

Your first visit with Dr. Scridon will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We'll review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, obtain 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 is achievable. Knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key preventive steps. These actions empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

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 to the heart.

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how your heart functions during physical activity. You'll walk on a treadmill while your EKG and blood pressure are monitored. This key non-invasive tool helps identify potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

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. Tudor Scridon 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.

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 pinpoint and eliminate the problematic heart tissue using heat or cold energy, often resolving the arrhythmia.

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 uses a catheter, leading to a much faster recovery for eligible patients.
