Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Humayun Jamidar addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis: Rheumatic mitral stenosis is a heart condition where a previous strep infection damaged the mitral valve, leading to its narrowing.
• Mitral Valve Regurgitation: Your heart's mitral valve may not be closing properly, causing blood to flow in the wrong direction; this is called mitral valve regurgitation.
• Coronary Artery Dissection: A coronary artery dissection occurs when a layer of the artery wall separates, potentially causing chest pain, shortness of breath, or a heart attack.
• Second Degree Heart Block: Second-degree heart block is a type of heart rhythm problem where the heart's electrical signals aren't properly relayed, causing some heartbeats to be skipped.
• Arteriovenous Fistula: An arteriovenous fistula occurs when there's an unnatural passageway between an artery and a vein.
• Pulmonary Insufficiency: Pulmonary insufficiency means your lungs aren't able to properly move oxygen into your blood.
• Atherosclerosis of Aorta: The aorta, your body's main artery, has a hardening and narrowing due to plaque buildup, a condition called atherosclerosis.
• Pericardial Disease: Pericardial diseases are conditions that cause inflammation, infection, or fluid buildup around the heart.
• Pulmonary Edema: Pulmonary edema is a buildup of fluid in the lungs, causing shortness of breath.
• Aortic Valve Regurgitation: Aortic valve regurgitation is a condition where the aortic valve doesn't close completely, allowing blood to leak back into the heart.
• Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg.
• Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis, or 'hardening of the arteries,' occurs when cholesterol and other materials accumulate, blocking blood flow.
