Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Premranjan Singh addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Acute Endocarditis: A rapid-onset infection of the heart chambers and valves is known as acute endocarditis, often requiring urgent medical care.
• Peripheral Edema: Peripheral edema is swelling in the body's tissues, often in the legs and feet.
• Infective Endocarditis: This infection can damage the heart valves and lead to serious complications if left untreated.
• Varicose Veins: Varicose veins result from weakened valves in the veins, causing blood to pool and the veins to bulge.
• Hypertensive Chronic Kidney Disease: Hypertensive chronic kidney disease is a serious condition where high blood pressure contributes to kidney failure.
• Angina: Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
• Hyperkalemia: High levels of potassium in your blood can cause various symptoms and require medical attention.
• Pericarditis: Pericarditis is inflammation of the sac surrounding your heart.
• Aortic Valve Regurgitation: Aortic valve regurgitation is a condition where the aortic valve doesn't close completely, allowing blood to leak backward into the heart.
• Chronic Congestive Heart Failure: With chronic congestive heart failure, your heart is weakened and can't effectively circulate blood, causing symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling.
• Mitral Valve Stenosis: The mitral valve in your heart controls blood flow between its upper and lower left chambers; in mitral valve stenosis, this valve is narrowed, hindering blood flow.
• Aortic Embolism and Thrombosis: Aortic embolism and thrombosis involve the formation of a blood clot within the aorta, which can lead to reduced blood flow to vital organs.

Cardiovascular Services Provided

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

• 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.
• Thrombolysis: This procedure involves injecting clot-busting drugs to open blocked arteries, often used in heart attacks or strokes.
• Cardiovascular Diagnostic Test: These tests provide important information about your heart's function and identify potential problems.
• Impella Device: An Impella device is a small pump that helps your heart pump blood throughout your body.
• Stress Test: Our stress test evaluates your heart's response to exertion.
• Cardioversion: A cardioversion procedure uses electricity to convert an abnormal heart rhythm back to a normal, steady beat.
• Chest CT (incl. Heart and Lungs): This chest CT scan examines your heart and lungs to assess their health.
• Nuclear Stress Testing: Nuclear stress testing uses a small amount of radioactive material and an exercise test or medication to show how well your heart is working during stress.
• Insertion of Epicardial Lead for Pacemaker or Cardioverter and Defibrillator: To improve heart rhythm, a wire (lead) was attached to the heart's outer surface and linked to a device.
• Dobutamine Thallium Stress Test: This test combines a medicine that stresses your heart (dobutamine) with a special scan (thallium) to check for reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: A robotic system assists doctors in performing a cardiac catheterization, a minimally invasive procedure to examine and treat blood vessels and heart chambers.
• Cardiac Catheterization (incl. Coronary Angiography): A cardiac catheterization is a procedure where a thin, flexible tube is inserted into a blood vessel to examine the heart and blood vessels.

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

I've had fainting spells. How do you determine the cause?

We evaluate fainting spells (syncope) thoroughly, ruling out serious cardiac causes. This involves detailed history, physical examination, and tests such as EKGs, echocardiograms, tilt table tests, and heart rhythm monitors to pinpoint the underlying reason and ensure your safety.
