Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Ronald Gabor addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Rheumatic Aortic Valve Disorders: Rheumatic heart disease affecting the aortic valve can cause shortness of breath, chest pain, and other cardiovascular symptoms.
• 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.
• Scleroderma: Scleroderma is a disease that causes hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues.
• Subacute Endocarditis: Subacute endocarditis is a slower-developing infection of the heart's inner lining, usually affecting the valves.
• Chest Pain: Experiencing chest pain, tightness, or squeezing warrants immediate evaluation as it could indicate a heart issue.
• Ventricular Septal Defect: A ventricular septal defect allows blood to flow abnormally between the ventricles, impacting heart function.
• Ventricular Fibrillation: Ventricular fibrillation is a life-threatening heart rhythm problem where the heart beats chaotically and ineffectively, preventing blood from circulating.
• Peripheral Vascular Disease (PAD: Peripheral vascular disease (PAD) is a condition where blood vessels outside of the heart and brain are narrowed, reducing blood flow to the limbs.
• Mitral Valve Stenosis: Having mitral valve stenosis means the mitral valve in your heart is stiff and doesn't open properly, reducing the amount of blood that can pump to the body.
• Acute Endocarditis: Acute endocarditis occurs when bacteria or other germs enter the bloodstream and infect the heart's valves or inner lining.
• 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.
• Angina: Experiencing angina means you should seek immediate medical attention as it could indicate a serious heart problem.

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 to improve your heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance your quality of life.

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 your heart's function under stress.

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

Evaluating fainting involves a thorough investigation to rule out any serious cardiac causes. We utilize various tests, including EKGs, echocardiograms, tilt table tests, and heart rhythm monitors, to pinpoint the underlying reason and ensure your safety.

How does Dr. Ronald Gabor treat heart valve disease?

Dr. Gabor's approach to heart valve disease varies depending on the severity. Mild cases may be monitored regularly, while moderate to severe cases may require medication management. For complex or severe cases, Dr. Gabor coordinates care with a cardiac surgeon or interventional cardiologist for procedures such as valve repair or replacement (TAVR).

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).
