Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Eugene Eisman addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Hypertensive Heart Disease: High blood pressure over a long time can weaken and thicken your heart muscle, leading to hypertensive heart disease.
• Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Unlike atrial fibrillation that's always present, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation features episodes of irregular heartbeat that begin and end abruptly.
• Acute Venous Embolism Thrombosis: A blood clot in a vein, often in the leg, can cause swelling, pain, and potential complications.
• Hypotension: Hypotension can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting due to reduced blood flow to the brain.
• 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.
• Noninfective Endocarditis: The heart's inner lining and/or valves can become irritated and inflamed in a condition called noninfective endocarditis, which is unrelated to infection.
• Limb Swelling Caused by Fluid Overload: Fluid buildup in your limbs can cause swelling.
• Atrial Fibrillation: Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is a condition where the upper chambers of your heart beat chaotically, causing an irregular heartbeat.
• Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): An acute DVT is a new blood clot in a deep vein, which can cause significant leg pain, swelling, and potentially dangerous complications.
• Heart Palpitations: Heart palpitations are a sensation of a fast, fluttering, or pounding heart.
• Chest Pain: Discomfort or pressure in your chest could be a sign of a serious heart condition, so it's important to seek medical attention.
• Mitral Valve Disease: Mitral valve disease encompasses conditions where the valve between the heart's upper and lower left chambers malfunctions, hindering efficient blood circulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Eugene Eisman:

What is a Cardiologist?

A cardiologist is a medical doctor specializing in the heart and blood vessels. They diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases like coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and high blood pressure. Their expertise ensures comprehensive cardiovascular care.

What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. Eugene Eisman?

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

Does Dr. Eugene Eisman accept my insurance?

Dr. Eisman's office accepts a variety of insurance plans. To confirm your specific coverage for consultations and procedures, please call our 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 the difference between a pacemaker and a defibrillator (ICD)?

A pacemaker helps regulate slow heartbeats by sending electrical signals to the heart. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) monitors for rapid, potentially dangerous heart rhythms and can deliver a shock to restore a normal rhythm.

How does Dr. Eugene Eisman treat heart valve disease?

Dr. Eisman approaches heart valve disease with a personalized strategy, ranging from regular monitoring for mild cases to medication management for more moderate conditions. For severe cases, he coordinates care with a cardiac surgeon or interventional cardiologist for procedures like valve repair or replacement (TAVR).

Why do I need to wear a Holter or event monitor?

A Holter or event monitor is a portable EKG device worn for one or more days to record your heart's rhythm during normal daily activities. This helps us detect arrhythmias that might not show up during a standard office EKG.

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how well your heart functions during physical activity. It involves walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike while connected to an EKG machine. This helps diagnose coronary artery disease and assess heart function under strain.
