A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. William Sheinbaum 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:

• Noninfective Endocarditis: Noninfective endocarditis often stems from underlying heart conditions, emphasizing the importance of diligent cardiovascular health management to minimize this risk and its potential devastating effects.
• Systolic Heart Failure: Systolic heart failure means your heart's ability to pump blood effectively is weakened, making early detection and management crucial to prevent further damage and improve your quality of life.
• Prinzmetal Angina: Prinzmetal angina, a rare form of chest pain, highlights the importance of proactive cardiovascular health monitoring to catch and treat potential heart problems before they cause severe damage.
• 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.
• Second Degree Heart Block: Because a second-degree heart block disrupts the normal electrical signals that control your heart's rhythm, it's vital to address it to mitigate your risk of potentially life-threatening arrhythmias and maintain good heart health.
• Mitral Valve Stenosis: Preventing complications from mitral valve stenosis involves understanding your risk factors, such as rheumatic fever history, and undergoing regular cardiac evaluations.
• Infective Endocarditis: Preventing complications from infective endocarditis requires diligent management of any underlying heart valve problems and prompt treatment of any infection to reduce the risk of heart damage.
• Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Preventing DVT involves understanding your risk factors, such as prolonged immobility or surgery, and taking steps to reduce them, ensuring early detection and effective management to avoid severe complications.
• Hypertension: Early detection of high blood pressure is key to preventing long-term damage to your heart and blood vessels; regular monitoring is essential for proactive health management.
• Cardiac Tamponade: Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition where fluid builds up around the heart, hindering its ability to pump blood effectively, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of underlying conditions to prevent this serious complication.
• Third Degree Heart Block: Third-degree heart block is a serious heart rhythm problem where the heart's upper and lower chambers beat independently, potentially leading to fainting or even cardiac arrest, highlighting the importance of regular heart checkups for early detection and prevention of serious complications.
• Mitral Valve Disease: Early diagnosis of mitral valve disease is crucial, as treatment can significantly reduce the risk of stroke and other life-threatening events.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

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

• Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation: To prevent sudden cardiac death, an ICD implant is a measure that continuously monitors your heart rhythm and delivers a shock if needed, safeguarding your life.
• Removal or Revision of Pacemaker or Cardioverter and-or Defibrillator: This procedure ensures your implanted device is working correctly, providing crucial support for your heart and helping you avoid potentially serious cardiac events.
• Cardioversion: Cardioversion is a procedure that uses electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm, helping prevent strokes and other complications from irregular heartbeats.
• Nuclear Stress Testing: Nuclear stress testing is a safe and effective way to proactively check your heart's health and help prevent future heart attacks or strokes by detecting blockages in your arteries.
• 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.
• HeartAware Online Risk Screening: Get a clear picture of your heart health with HeartAware's convenient online risk assessment, helping you take control of your cardiovascular future.
• Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (PAD): A PAD screening is a vital step towards preventing heart disease and stroke; it detects reduced blood flow to your limbs, indicating potential cardiovascular risks.
• Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmias: To proactively manage your heart health, cardiac ablation can eliminate irregular heartbeats that might lead to stroke or heart failure.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: To proactively safeguard your heart health, this advanced procedure uses robotic assistance for a precise examination of your heart's arteries, helping identify and address potential problems before they become serious.
• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): To proactively safeguard your heart health, a cardiac catheterization uses special imaging to detect narrowed or blocked arteries, enabling timely treatment and reducing your risk of future cardiovascular events.
• Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: Take a proactive step towards a healthier heart by undergoing a structural heart disease evaluation to detect potential problems early and prevent serious complications.
• Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE): To proactively safeguard your heart health, a TEE uses sound waves to create a clearer picture of your heart's structure and function, identifying potential issues before they cause a heart attack or stroke.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Cardiovascular care with Dr. William Sheinbaum:

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 needing expert management.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. William Sheinbaum?

Your first visit with Dr. Sheinbaum will be a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. We will review your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, 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 a heart attack.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

We focus on preventing long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys by treating high blood pressure. This involves foundational lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and regular exercise, and if needed, we'll add medication to safely reach a personalized target blood pressure for you.

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 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. Sheinbaum is an expert in managing AFib with medications and procedures to control the rhythm and prevent strokes.

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 resolving the arrhythmia.

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