Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Rene Celis addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Chest Pain: Chest pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, sharp pain, and its cause needs proper medical assessment.
• Hypertension: High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, puts extra strain on your blood vessels and heart.
• Congenital Heart Defects: A congenital heart defect is a structural abnormality of the heart that's present from birth.
• Type 2 Heart Block - Mobitz: This is a specific kind of heart block (Mobitz type 2) where the electrical signals from the top of your heart don't always reach the bottom, leading to a slower heartbeat.
• Prinzmetal Angina: Unlike typical angina, Prinzmetal angina is not triggered by exertion; instead, it's caused by artery spasms.
• Rheumatic Tricuspid Disease: Rheumatic tricuspid disease is damage to the tricuspid valve caused by rheumatic fever, a complication of strep throat.
• Aortic Valve Disease: Aortic valve disease involves dysfunction of the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the body, potentially leading to symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
• Heart Valve Disorders: Treatment for heart valve disorders may involve medication, minimally invasive procedures, or open-heart surgery to repair or replace the affected valve.
• Limb Swelling: Swelling in your limbs may be a sign of a problem with your heart or blood vessels.
• Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS): Median arcuate ligament syndrome is a condition where a ligament in the abdomen puts pressure on the blood vessels, sometimes causing pain and other symptoms.
• Atrial Fibrillation: Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure, and other complications.
• Hypertensive Heart with Failure: You have heart failure, a condition worsened by long-term high blood pressure.

• Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: To evaluate your heart's function, this test uses drugs to stress your heart and a radioactive substance to produce images revealing blood flow patterns.
• Cardiovascular Stress Test: A cardiovascular stress test monitors your heart's function during exercise to check for blockages or other issues.
• Dobutamine Thallium Stress Test: This non-invasive test uses a medication to simulate exercise and a radioactive tracer to image your heart, detecting areas that might not get enough blood.
• Cholesterol Screening: Get your cholesterol checked to help maintain a healthy heart.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: Robotic assistance improves the accuracy and precision of cardiac catheterization, a procedure to diagnose and treat heart disease.
• Thoracentesis: Thoracentesis is a procedure to remove fluid buildup around your lungs.

• Cardiac Ultrasound: This test uses ultrasound technology to check the size, shape, and function of your heart.
• Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation: ICD implantation is a procedure where a device is surgically placed to monitor your heart rhythm and deliver shocks if needed to restore a normal heartbeat.
• Intracranial Vessels Stenting: To treat blocked arteries in the brain, intracranial stenting opens the vessels by inserting a supportive metal mesh tube.
• Treadmill Stress Test: A treadmill stress test is an exercise test that monitors your heart's response to physical exertion to help diagnose heart problems.
• Nuclear Stress Testing: A nuclear stress test combines a nuclear scan with exercise or medication to create images of your heart, showing how well it's functioning under stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Rene Celis:

What is a Cardiologist?

Dr. Celis and our team of cardiologists are medical doctors specializing in the heart and blood vessels. We diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases like coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and high blood pressure. Our expertise ensures comprehensive care for your heart health.

What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. Rene Celis?

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

Does Dr. Rene Celis accept my insurance?

Dr. Celis's office accepts a variety of insurance plans. To confirm coverage for your specific plan, please call our office directly with your insurance information. This will ensure accurate information for consultations and any potential procedures.

What does a heart failure diagnosis mean?

A heart failure diagnosis means your heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as it should. We'll work together to manage this with lifestyle changes and medications, aiming to improve your heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance your overall well-being.

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 show up during a standard office EKG.

Does a cardiologist treat blockages in leg arteries?

Dr. Celis and our team of cardiologists often treat Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), which involves blockages in leg arteries. We manage risk factors and perform procedures like angiography and stenting to improve blood flow and relieve symptoms like leg pain.

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

To determine the cause of your fainting spells, we perform a thorough evaluation, including a detailed history, physical exam, and potentially electrocardiograms (EKGs), echocardiograms, tilt table tests, and heart rhythm monitors. This helps us rule out serious cardiac causes and identify the underlying reason for your syncope, ensuring your safety.

What is the difference between a pacemaker and a defibrillator (ICD)?

A pacemaker helps regulate slow heartbeats by sending electrical signals to the heart. A defibrillator (ICD) monitors for rapid, potentially dangerous heart rhythms and can deliver a shock to restore a normal rhythm.
