Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Hoshedar Tamboli addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Chest Pain: Chest pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, sharp pain, and its cause needs proper medical assessment.
• Type 2 Heart Block - Mobitz: This is a specific kind of heart block (Mobitz type 2) where the electrical signals from the top of your heart don't always reach the bottom, leading to a slower heartbeat.
• Ventricular Septal Defect: In a ventricular septal defect, blood leaks from one pumping chamber of the heart to the other, potentially causing strain.
• Arrhythmias: An arrhythmia is a problem with the electrical signals that control your heart's rhythm.
• Angina: Angina feels like pressure, tightness, squeezing, or pain in your chest, often brought on by exertion.
• Primary Pulmonary Hypertension: In primary pulmonary hypertension, increased pressure in your lung's blood vessels forces your heart to work harder, potentially leading to heart failure.
• Aortic Aneurysm: A ruptured aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate medical attention.
• Mitral Valve Prolapse: Mitral valve prolapse is a condition where the mitral valve in your heart doesn't close completely, sometimes causing a heart murmur.
• Heart Attack (Acute Myocardial Infarction): Reduced blood supply to the heart muscle due to a blocked artery leads to a heart attack.
• Ventricular Tachycardia (VT): Ventricular tachycardia is a rapid heartbeat originating from the lower chambers of the heart.
• Heart Valve Diseases: Heart valve diseases affect the ability of your heart valves to open and close properly, potentially leading to reduced blood flow.
• Muscular Dystrophy (MD): Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.

Cardiovascular Services Provided

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

• Insertion of Left Ventricular Lead for Pacemaker or Cardioverter and Defibrillator: The doctor inserted a small wire into my heart's left ventricle to connect it to my pacemaker or defibrillator.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): An EKG is a painless test that uses small sensors on your skin to record your heart's electrical signals, providing a visual representation of your heartbeat.
• Implantable Loop Recorder: It's a tiny device implanted to detect irregular heartbeats, helping doctors diagnose and manage heart rhythm problems.
• Peripheral Artery Catheterization: Doctors use peripheral artery catheterization to access your arteries for blood tests, medication delivery, or monitoring of blood pressure in your extremities.
• 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.
• Cardioverter-Defibrillator or Pacemaker Insertion: This service provides implantation of a device to help regulate your heart rhythm.
• Heart Valvuloplasty of Mitral Valve Without Replacement: Your heart's mitral valve was widened or repaired to improve blood flow through the heart, avoiding the need for valve replacement surgery.
• Cardiac Electrophysiology: Cardiac electrophysiology is a specialized area of cardiology that focuses on the heart's electrical system and its impact on heart rhythm.
• Impella Device: An Impella device is a small pump that helps your heart pump blood throughout your body.
• Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation: An automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a small device implanted under the skin to detect and correct dangerously fast heartbeats.
• Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography: Vascular Duplex Ultrasonography and Plethysmography help doctors visualize blood vessels and measure blood flow, aiding in the diagnosis of circulatory issues.
• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): This procedure involves inserting a catheter into a blood vessel to check for narrowed or blocked arteries in your heart.

Please note: This list highlights some of the key services that may be offered by Dr. Hoshedar Tamboli. Service availability can change and not all services listed may be appropriate or offered to every patient. The scope of services provided by a Cardiology can vary. For a comprehensive understanding of all available services or to discuss your Patient's specific healthcare needs, it's always best to schedule a consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Hoshedar Tamboli:

What is a Cardiologist?

A cardiologist is a medical doctor specializing in the heart and blood vessels. They diagnose, treat, and prevent conditions like coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and high blood pressure.

What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. Hoshedar Tamboli?

Your first visit with Dr. Tamboli will involve a detailed discussion of your symptoms, risk factors, and family history. A physical exam and electrocardiogram (EKG) are typical, and further tests like an echocardiogram or stress test might be recommended depending on your situation. We will work together to create a personalized plan for your care.

Does Dr. Hoshedar Tamboli accept my insurance?

Insurance plan acceptance can vary. Please call our office directly with your insurance information to confirm coverage for consultations and any potential procedures.

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 a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how 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 stress.

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

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

I have a family history of heart disease. How can I be proactive?

We commend your proactive approach. A preventive cardiology consultation with Dr. Tamboli will involve a thorough risk assessment, potentially advanced lipid testing, and the creation of a personalized plan to minimize your risk through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes.

What is a cardiac ablation?

A cardiac ablation is a procedure used to treat heart rhythm problems. It involves using catheters to deliver energy to specific areas of the heart causing irregular rhythms, correcting the electrical signals and restoring a normal heart beat.
