Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Anthony Magnano addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Supraventricular Tachycardia: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a fast heart rhythm that starts above the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart).
• Coronary Vessel Malformation: The arteries supplying blood to your heart have an unusual structure or pattern, a condition known as coronary vessel malformation.
• Nonrheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Tricuspid valve disease, not related to rheumatic fever, involves malfunction of the valve separating the heart's upper and lower right chambers.
• Atrial Septal Defect: An atrial septal defect is a birth defect where there's an opening between the two atria of the heart.
• Chronic Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): If you have chronic DVT, it signifies that a blood clot in a deep vein has not resolved and continues to cause problems.
• Endocarditis: Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of the heart.
• Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis: Mitral stenosis, a type of heart valve disease, can develop due to rheumatic fever, reducing the heart's efficiency.
• Congestive Heart Failure: CHF is a condition where your heart is weakened and struggles to effectively circulate blood throughout your body.
• Long QT Syndrome: Long QT syndrome is a heart condition that can cause irregular heartbeats, potentially leading to fainting or seizures.
• Constrictive Pericarditis: This condition involves inflammation and scarring of the sac surrounding your heart, resulting in restricted heart function.
• Rheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Rheumatic tricuspid disease involves malfunction of the tricuspid valve due to a prior infection of rheumatic fever.
• Sinus Tachycardia: Sinus tachycardia is a heart rhythm where your heart beats faster than normal, originating from the heart's natural pacemaker.
