Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Jeffrey Rosen addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Long QT Syndrome: Long QT syndrome is a heart condition that can cause irregular heartbeats, potentially leading to fainting or seizures.
• Coronary Artery Aneurysm: Coronary artery aneurysms are abnormal widenings in the arteries that feed the heart muscle, posing a risk of rupture.
• Pericarditis: Pericarditis is inflammation of the sac surrounding your heart.
• Lipid Disorders: Lipid disorders refer to abnormal levels of fats, like cholesterol and triglycerides, in your blood, increasing your risk of heart disease.
• Hypertensive Heart without Failure: High blood pressure is affecting your heart, but your heart isn't failing to pump blood effectively.
• Peripheral Edema: Peripheral edema is swelling in the legs, feet, or ankles due to fluid buildup.
• Ventricular Tachycardia (VT): Ventricular tachycardia is a rapid heartbeat originating from the lower chambers of the heart.
• Acute Congestive Heart Failure: In acute congestive heart failure, your heart weakens and is unable to circulate blood adequately, causing symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, often in the leg, potentially causing pain and swelling.
• Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Unlike atrial fibrillation that's always present, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation features episodes of irregular heartbeat that begin and end abruptly.
• Aortic Dissection: A tear in the inner layer of your aorta, a major artery branching off the heart, can cause a life-threatening condition known as an aortic dissection.
• Limb Swelling Caused by Fluid Overload: Fluid buildup in your limbs can cause swelling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Jeffrey Rosen:

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. Jeffrey Rosen?

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

Does Dr. Jeffrey Rosen accept my insurance?

Dr. Rosen'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.

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 detect arrhythmias that might not be evident during a standard office EKG.

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 dangerously fast heart rhythms and can deliver a shock to restore a normal rhythm.

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 assess your heart's size, shape, pumping function, and valve health.

What is a cardiac catheterization or angiogram?

Cardiac catheterization, or angiogram, is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat heart conditions. A thin tube (catheter) is guided to the heart to measure pressures and visualize the coronary arteries with dye, allowing identification of blockages.

What does a heart failure diagnosis mean?

A heart failure diagnosis means your heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as it should. Fortunately, heart failure is manageable with a combination of lifestyle changes and medications to improve heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance your quality of life.
