Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Cho Win addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, often in the leg, which can be dangerous if it travels to the lungs.
• Aortopulmonary Septal Defect: An aortopulmonary septal defect is a congenital heart defect where there's an abnormal opening between the aorta and pulmonary artery.
• Tricuspid Valve Disease: Tricuspid valve disease is a condition affecting the valve between the two right-side chambers of the heart, impacting the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.
• Hypokalemia: Low potassium levels can affect your heart's rhythm and muscle function.
• Type 2 Heart Block - Mobitz: With a Mobitz type 2 heart block, the electrical impulses in your heart are intermittently interrupted, causing some heartbeats to be skipped or delayed.
• Heart Attack (STEMI): STEMI is a serious type of heart attack where a blood clot completely blocks blood flow to a part of the heart, leading to heart muscle damage.
• Systemic Vasculitis: Systemic vasculitis is a condition where the blood vessels become inflamed, potentially affecting various parts of the body.
• Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: With paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, you experience episodes of rapid, chaotic heartbeats that start and stop unexpectedly, unlike persistent atrial fibrillation.
• Hypertensive Heart without Failure: Your blood pressure is high, leading to increased workload on your heart, although it's functioning without failure.
• Acute Congestive Heart Failure: A sudden worsening of your heart's ability to pump blood, resulting in fluid congestion in the lungs and body, is called acute congestive heart failure.
• Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Sudden pain, swelling, and redness in your leg could be signs of acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition requiring immediate medical attention.
• Heart Valve Disorders: Heart valve disorders occur when one or more of the heart's valves don't open or close properly, disrupting blood flow.

Dr. Cho Win offers a range of services to support your Patient's health and well-being, such as:

• Coronary Angioplasty: Coronary angioplasty is a procedure to open narrowed or blocked arteries in your heart.
• Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (PAD): PAD screening involves simple tests to identify reduced blood flow to your legs and feet, potentially caused by plaque buildup in the arteries.
• HeartAware Online Risk Screening: Use the HeartAware online screening to identify potential risk factors for heart problems.
• Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: This non-invasive test combines medication to stress your heart with a radioactive tracer to create images showing how well blood flows through your heart's arteries.
• Chest Pain Evaluation: Our cardiovascular service evaluates chest pain to determine its cause and recommend appropriate care.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: This test assesses your heart's response to physical exertion by tracking its rhythm and blood flow.
• Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation: ICD implantation is a procedure where a device is surgically placed to monitor your heart rhythm and deliver shocks if needed to restore a normal heartbeat.
• Arterial Catheterization with Robotic Assist: This service uses a robotic system to guide a catheter into your arteries for diagnosis and treatment.
• Coronary Angiogram: A coronary angiogram is a minimally invasive procedure to visualize the arteries supplying blood to your heart muscle.
• Treadmill Stress Test: A treadmill stress test is an exercise test that monitors your heart's response to physical exertion to help diagnose heart problems.
• Cardiac Imaging: These imaging techniques help doctors assess the size, shape, and function of your heart and blood vessels.
• Cardiac Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: Myocardial perfusion imaging is a type of heart scan that helps doctors identify areas of your heart that might be damaged due to poor blood supply.
