Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Kishore Ranadive addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Mitral Valve Disease: The mitral valve, located between the left atrium and ventricle, can develop diseases that disrupt normal heart function and require medical attention.
• Postpartum Cardiomyopathy: During the postpartum period, some women develop postpartum cardiomyopathy, a condition that affects the heart's ability to function normally.
• Heart Attack (NSTEMI): Unlike a complete blockage, an NSTEMI heart attack involves a partial blockage of a heart artery, leading to reduced blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle.
• Syncope: Syncope is a sudden, temporary loss of consciousness, often caused by a decrease in blood flow to the brain.
• Heart Palpitations: Heart palpitations are a feeling of a fast, fluttering, or pounding heart.
• Marfan Syndrome: Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder affecting connective tissues, potentially impacting the heart, eyes, and bones.
• Venous Hypertension: Venous hypertension refers to elevated blood pressure within the venous system, potentially resulting in leg swelling or other symptoms.
• Patent Ductus Arteriosus: Patent ductus arteriosus is a congenital heart defect characterized by an open ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel that should close shortly after birth.
• Chronic Congestive Heart Failure: Chronic congestive heart failure means your heart isn't pumping blood as well as it should, leading to fluid buildup in your body.
• Hypertension: Hypertension means your blood pressure is higher than it should be, increasing your risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
• Atrial Fibrillation: Atrial fibrillation is a type of heart rhythm disorder characterized by a quivering or irregular heartbeat in the atria (upper chambers of the heart).
• Peripheral Vascular Disease (PAD: Peripheral vascular disease (PAD) affects blood flow to the limbs, potentially causing pain, numbness, and other symptoms.

Cardiovascular Services Provided

Dr. Kishore Ranadive 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: My cardiologist placed a lead in my heart's left ventricle to help my pacemaker or defibrillator function.
• Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: Evaluations and procedures to address structural abnormalities or defects within the heart are included in this category.
• Cardiovascular Diagnostic Test: These tests provide important information about your heart's function and identify potential problems.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): An EKG is a quick and non-invasive way to assess the health of your heart muscle and electrical conduction system.
• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement/Implantation (TAVR/TAVI): A less invasive heart valve surgery, TAVR/TAVI replaces a damaged aortic valve by inserting a new one through a blood vessel, reducing the need for open-heart surgery.
• Tilt_Testing: Tilt table testing is a procedure that monitors your heart rate and blood pressure while slowly changing your body position to see if you have a condition called neurally mediated syncope.
• HeartAware Online Risk Screening: HeartAware is an online tool that helps you assess your risk of developing heart disease.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: Robotic assistance improves the accuracy and precision of cardiac catheterization, a procedure to diagnose and treat heart disease.
• Arrhythmia Screening: It's a way to find potential heart rhythm problems early on, before symptoms arise.
• Chest CT (incl. Heart and Lungs): This chest CT scan examines your heart and lungs for potential problems.
• Aortic Valve Surgery: If your aortic heart valve isn't working properly, surgery may be needed to fix or replace it.
• Chest Pain Evaluation: Our cardiovascular service provides comprehensive evaluations for chest pain.

For more serious cases, he coordinates care with a cardiac surgeon or interventional cardiologist for procedures like valve repair or replacement (TAVR).

What is a cardiac ablation?

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. This helps restore a normal heart 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 see the heart's size, shape, pumping ability, and valve health.

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

We commend you for being proactive about your heart health. A preventive cardiology consultation with Dr. Ranadive will involve a thorough risk assessment, potentially advanced lipid testing, and the creation of a personalized plan to help minimize your future risk through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes.

I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). What are the treatment options?

Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) focuses on controlling your heart rate, restoring a normal rhythm, and preventing blood clots. Options include medication, cardioversion, and advanced procedures like catheter ablation. The best approach is tailored to your individual situation.
