What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. Mistyann-Blue Miller?

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

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 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, which can identify blockages.

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 it open, restore blood flow to the heart muscle, and relieve symptoms like chest pain.

Does Dr. Mistyann-Blue Miller perform bypass surgery (CABG)?

Dr. Miller, as a cardiologist, diagnoses and treats coronary artery disease, including non-surgical interventions like stenting. If bypass surgery (CABG) is necessary, she will refer you to a qualified cardiothoracic surgeon and work closely with them in your care.

How does Dr. Mistyann-Blue Miller treat heart valve disease?

Dr. Miller approaches valvular heart disease with a personalized strategy, ranging from regular monitoring for mild cases to medication management. For more severe cases, she coordinates care with a cardiac surgeon or interventional cardiologist for procedures like valve repair or replacement (TAVR). This ensures the best possible outcome for each patient.
