Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Niberto Moreno addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Aortic Aneurysm: The aorta is the main artery carrying blood from the heart, and an aneurysm in this artery can be dangerous.
• Supraventricular Tachycardia: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a fast heart rhythm that starts above the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart).
• Primary Pulmonary Hypertension: This rare disease, primary pulmonary hypertension, involves high blood pressure in the arteries of your lungs, straining your heart and potentially causing serious complications.
• Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis is a disease where a fatty substance called plaque forms inside artery walls, potentially leading to heart attack or stroke.
• Chronic Pulmonary Heart Diseases (incl. Pulmonary Hypertension): Chronic pulmonary heart diseases encompass a group of heart problems stemming from chronic lung illnesses, often manifesting as elevated pressure in the blood vessels leading to the lungs.
• Heart Murmur: A heart murmur is a sound heard during a heartbeat that may or may not be a sign of a problem.
• Tricuspid Valve Disease: A diseased tricuspid valve may not seal completely, allowing blood to leak backward, or it may be narrowed, restricting blood flow, both potentially leading to heart problems.
• 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.
• Atrial Fibrillation: With atrial fibrillation, the heart's electrical signals become disorganized, leading to an abnormally fast and irregular heartbeat.
• Hypotension: Hypotension is a condition characterized by abnormally low blood pressure.
• Congestive Heart Failure: With CHF, your heart muscle is weakened, making it difficult for your heart to pump enough blood to supply your body's organs.
• Atherosclerosis of Aorta: Atherosclerosis of the aorta means a buildup of plaque in the largest artery in your body, the aorta.

Cardiovascular Services Provided

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

• Thrombolysis: Thrombolysis uses special medications to break up dangerous blood clots, restoring blood flow to your heart or brain.
• Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (PAD): PAD screening checks for narrowed arteries in your legs and feet, which can reduce blood flow.
• Coronary Angioplasty: Coronary angioplasty is a procedure to open blocked arteries in your heart.
• Tilt Table Testing: This test involves lying on a table that is tilted to see how your body reacts to changes in blood flow, which can be helpful in diagnosing conditions like fainting.
• Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of Heart or Chest: Doctors use a cardiac MRI to assess the size, shape, and function of your heart and to detect any abnormalities in the heart or great vessels.
• Cardiac Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: Cardiac myocardial perfusion imaging uses a special scan to show how well blood flows to your heart muscle.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: Using robotic technology, doctors can access and treat areas within the heart via cardiac catheterization more effectively and less invasively.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: This test assesses your heart's response to physical exertion by tracking its rhythm and blood flow.
• Tilt_Testing: If you experience unexplained fainting or dizziness, a tilt table test may be used to see if a change in blood pressure or heart rate when you stand is to blame.
• Pacemaker Insertion or Replacement: A new or replacement pacemaker can improve your quality of life by helping your heart beat at a healthy rate.
• Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: If you have a heart condition related to the physical structure of your heart, this covers its diagnosis and treatment.
• HeartAware Online Risk Screening: This online HeartAware screening helps you understand your heart health and potential needs for preventive care.

What is a Cardiologist?

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

What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. Niberto Moreno?

Your first visit with Dr. Moreno 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 depending on your individual needs.

Does Dr. Niberto Moreno accept my insurance?

Dr. Moreno'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.

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

Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) focuses on controlling heart rate, restoring a regular rhythm, and preventing blood clots. Options include medications, cardioversion procedures, and advanced techniques like catheter ablation. The best approach is tailored to each patient's individual situation.

Does Dr. Niberto Moreno perform bypass surgery (CABG)?

Dr. Moreno, as a cardiologist, diagnoses and treats coronary artery disease, performing procedures like stenting. If bypass surgery (CABG) is necessary, he will refer you to a qualified cardiothoracic surgeon and work closely with them throughout your care.

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 exertion.

What does a heart failure diagnosis mean?

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

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. Its purpose is to prop the artery open, restore blood flow to the heart muscle, and relieve symptoms like chest pain (angina).
