Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Roberto Miki addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Aortic Ectasia: The aorta, your heart's main artery, is dilated or enlarged, which is known as aortic ectasia.
• Marfan Syndrome: Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder affecting connective tissues, potentially impacting the heart, eyes, and bones.
• Typical Atrial Flutter: This type of atrial flutter has a distinctive sawtooth pattern on an electrocardiogram, indicating a rapid, regular heartbeat from the heart's upper chambers.
• Mitral Valve Prolapse: Mitral valve prolapse is a condition where the mitral valve in your heart doesn't close completely, sometimes causing a heart murmur.
• Atrial Flutter: An irregular and fast heart rhythm arising from the atria is known as atrial flutter, possibly causing dizziness or palpitations.
• Acute Venous Embolism Thrombosis: A blood clot in a vein, often in the leg, can cause swelling, pain, and redness.
• Tricuspid Valve Disease: Tricuspid valve disease is a condition affecting the valve between the two right-side chambers of the heart, impacting the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.
• Aortic Embolism and Thrombosis: An aortic embolism is when a clot travels to the aorta, while thrombosis means a clot forms within the aorta; both can severely disrupt blood flow.
• Limb Swelling Caused by Fluid Overload: Fluid buildup in your limbs can cause swelling.
• Aortic Dissection: Imagine a split or tear in the main artery carrying blood from your heart – this is aortic dissection, a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
• Endocarditis: Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of the heart chambers and valves.
• 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.

• Chest Pain Evaluation: Our cardiovascular service provides expert evaluation of chest pain to ensure a prompt and accurate diagnosis.
• Tilt Table Testing: This non-invasive test helps doctors identify if changes in blood flow, such as those related to neurally mediated syncope, are causing your symptoms.
• Thrombolysis: This procedure involves injecting clot-busting drugs to open blocked arteries, often used in heart attacks or strokes.
• Cardiac MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of Heart or Chest: A cardiac MRI scan provides doctors with clear images of your heart to help diagnose heart conditions.
• Arrhythmia Screening: It's a way to find potential heart rhythm problems early on, before symptoms arise.
• 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.
• Treadmill Stress Test: This test involves walking on a treadmill while your heart rhythm and blood pressure are monitored to assess your heart's health and function.
• Pharmacologic Stress Test: This test uses medicine to simulate exercise and evaluate your heart's response to stress.
• Cardiovascular Diagnostic Test: A range of cardiovascular diagnostic tests are available, tailored to your specific needs and medical history.
• Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: A pharmacologic nuclear stress test uses medication and a radioactive tracer to show how well your heart works during exercise.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): During an EKG, small sticky pads are attached to your chest and limbs to record the electrical impulses of your heart, which are then printed on a graph.
• Thoracentesis: Thoracentesis is a procedure to remove fluid from around your lungs.

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 provide expert care for a wide range of heart conditions.

What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. Roberto Miki?

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

Does Dr. Roberto Miki accept my insurance?

Dr. Miki's office accepts a variety of insurance plans. To confirm coverage for your specific insurance, please call our office directly with your policy information. We can then verify your plan's benefits for consultations and procedures.

What does a heart failure diagnosis mean?

A heart failure diagnosis means your heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as it should. It doesn't mean your heart has stopped; rather, we'll work together to manage it with lifestyle changes and medications to improve your 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 to prop the artery open, restore blood flow to the heart muscle, and relieve symptoms like chest pain.

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

We commend your proactive approach. A preventive cardiology consultation with Dr. Miki involves a thorough risk assessment, potentially including advanced lipid testing, and the creation of a personalized plan to minimize future risk through dietary, exercise, and lifestyle modifications.

What is a cardiac stress test?

A cardiac stress test evaluates how your heart performs 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.

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

Evaluating fainting involves a thorough investigation, including EKGs, echocardiograms, tilt table tests, and heart rhythm monitors, to rule out any serious cardiac causes and determine the underlying reason for your symptoms, ensuring your safety.
