Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections spread through sexual contact.
• Congenital Heart Disease: Congenital heart disease refers to heart defects that are present at birth.
• Aortic Valve Regurgitation: Aortic valve regurgitation occurs when the aortic valve doesn't close completely, allowing blood to leak backward into the heart.
• Hypertension: If you have hypertension, your heart has to work harder to pump blood, potentially leading to long-term health problems.
• Acute Coronary Syndrome: Acute coronary syndrome encompasses conditions like unstable angina and heart attacks, both stemming from decreased blood supply to the heart.
• Enlarged Prostate (BPH): An enlarged prostate can cause urinary problems like frequent urination, especially at night.
• Shortness of Breath: Shortness of breath can be a sign of a problem with your heart or lungs.
• Joint Pain: Joint pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, infection, or underlying conditions.
• Sleep Apnea: Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
• Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis, or 'hardening of the arteries,' occurs when cholesterol and other materials accumulate, blocking blood flow.
• Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): HIV weakens the body's immune system, making it harder to fight off infections.

• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): Cardiac catheterization helps doctors assess the health of your heart and blood vessels, often revealing blockages or other problems.
• Stress Test: A stress test evaluates how your heart responds to exertion.
• 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.
• Coronary Angiogram: During a coronary angiogram, a thin tube is inserted into an artery, usually in the groin or wrist, to inject dye and obtain images of your coronary arteries.
• Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of Heart or Chest: A cardiac MRI scan provides doctors with clear images of your heart to help diagnose heart conditions.
• Pharmacologic Stress Test: This test uses medicine to simulate exercise and evaluate your heart's response to stress.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: This non-invasive procedure uses exercise or medication to evaluate the heart's performance under increased workload.
• Tilt_Testing: During a tilt table test, you'll lie on a table that gradually tilts upright, allowing doctors to observe your body's response to changes in blood flow and identify potential causes of fainting or dizziness.
• Cardiac Imaging: Cardiac imaging uses special technology like X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI to create pictures of your heart and blood vessels.
• 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 treatment.
• Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: This refers to assessments and treatments for problems with the heart's structure, such as valve issues or defects in the heart chambers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Daniel Yadegar:

What is a Cardiologist?

A cardiologist is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart and blood vessel diseases. They are experts in conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and high blood pressure.

What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. Daniel Yadegar?

Your first visit with Dr. Yadegar will include a detailed review of your symptoms, risk factors, and family history. A physical exam and electrocardiogram (EKG) are typical. Further testing, such as an echocardiogram or stress test, may be recommended based on your individual needs.

Does Dr. Daniel Yadegar accept my insurance?

Dr. Yadegar's office accepts a variety of insurance plans. To confirm your specific coverage for consultations and procedures, please call the office directly with your insurance information.

What is a stent and why would I need one?

A stent is a tiny, expandable mesh tube placed inside a narrowed or blocked coronary artery to prop the artery open, restore blood flow to the heart muscle, and relieve symptoms like chest pain.

What is an echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram, or "echo," is a non-invasive ultrasound of your heart. Sound waves create moving pictures, allowing your cardiologist to see the size, shape, and pumping function of your heart, as well as the health of your heart valves.

What is the difference between a pacemaker and a defibrillator (ICD)?

A pacemaker helps regulate slow heartbeats by sending electrical signals to maintain a normal rhythm. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) monitors for dangerously fast heartbeats and can deliver a shock to restore a normal rhythm if needed.

I've had fainting spells. How do you determine the cause?

Evaluating fainting involves a thorough investigation to rule out any serious cardiac causes. We use various tests, including EKGs, echocardiograms, tilt table tests, and heart rhythm monitors, to pinpoint the underlying reason and ensure your safety.

What is the treatment for high cholesterol?

High cholesterol management often starts with dietary changes and increased physical activity. If lifestyle modifications aren't sufficient, Dr. Yadegar may prescribe medications like statins to effectively lower cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular risk.
