• Ventricular Restoration: Ensure your heart's rhythm is strong and stable by considering ventricular restoration—a method used to improve heart function and prevent future complications.
• Intracranial Vessel Angioplasty and Stenting: As a proactive measure against stroke, this procedure uses a catheter to place a small stent in a narrowed brain artery, improving blood flow.
• Coronary Interventional Procedures: To proactively address potential heart problems, coronary interventional procedures can open blocked arteries, improving blood flow to your heart and reducing your risk of future cardiovascular events.
• Pediatric Stress Echocardiography (ECG): By using ultrasound images of your child's heart during stress, a pediatric stress echocardiogram helps doctors detect abnormalities and take preventive measures to safeguard your child's future cardiovascular health.

What are the most important things I can do to prevent a heart attack?

Taking control of your cardiovascular health is within your reach. Knowing and managing your blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking, regular physical activity, and a heart-healthy diet are key. These steps empower you to significantly reduce your risk of a heart attack.

How do you treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

We aim to not only lower your blood pressure numbers, but also prevent long-term damage to your heart, brain, and kidneys. This involves foundational lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and regular exercise, and when necessary, medication to safely reach a personalized target blood pressure.

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 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.

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 the difference between 'good' (HDL) and 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol?

Good" (HDL) cholesterol is like a helpful cleaner, removing "lousy" (LDL) cholesterol from your body. LDL cholesterol can build up in your arteries, causing blockages. Dr. Jeremy PA-C helps manage both types to prevent heart disease.
