Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Sameer Chadha addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Ventricular Fibrillation: Ventricular fibrillation is a life-threatening heart rhythm problem where the heart beats chaotically and ineffectively, preventing blood from circulating.
• Cardiac Sarcoidosis: Inflammation in the heart due to sarcoidosis, a systemic inflammatory disease, can cause a range of heart problems, from rhythm disturbances to weakening of the heart muscle.
• 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.
• Hypertensive Heart Disease: Hypertensive heart disease refers to the changes in your heart's structure and function due to long-term high blood pressure.
• Mitral Valve Disease: Mitral valve disease encompasses conditions where the valve between the heart's upper and lower left chambers malfunctions, hindering efficient blood circulation.
• Acute Venous Embolism Thrombosis: A blood clot in a vein, often in the leg, can cause pain, swelling, and redness.
• 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.
• Acute Congestive Heart Failure: A sudden worsening of your heart's ability to pump blood, resulting in fluid congestion in the lungs and body, is called acute congestive heart failure.
• Coronary Vessel Malformation: A coronary vessel malformation is a birth defect affecting the arteries that carry blood to the heart, potentially causing blockages or other issues.
• Ventricular Tachycardia (VT): Ventricular tachycardia is a rapid heartbeat originating in the lower chambers of the heart.
• Hypotension (Excluding Maternal): Low blood pressure, excluding cases during pregnancy.
• Heart Attack (STEMI): A heart attack, specifically a STEMI, happens when a major artery supplying the heart is completely blocked, causing damage to the heart muscle.

Cardiovascular Services Provided

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

• Structural Heart Disease Evaluations and Treatment: This covers diagnosing and fixing structural problems in your heart, like damaged valves or holes in the heart.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): An EKG is a quick and non-invasive way to assess the health of your heart muscle and electrical conduction system.
• Cardiac Imaging: Various types of cardiac imaging, such as echocardiograms and CT scans, help doctors make a diagnosis and plan treatment.
• Pharmacologic Nuclear Stress Test: This non-invasive test combines medication to stress your heart with a radioactive tracer to create images showing how well blood flows through your heart's arteries.
• Cardiac Ultrasound: Cardiac ultrasound provides detailed pictures of your heart's chambers, valves, and blood flow.
• Coronary Angiogram: Coronary angiography is a heart procedure that uses X-rays and a special dye to assess the health of your heart's blood vessels and identify any narrowing or blockages.
• Cardiac Catheterization with Robotic Assist: Cardiac catheterization with robotic assist uses a thin, flexible tube and a robot to help doctors visualize and treat heart problems.
• Cholesterol Screening: Get your cholesterol checked to help maintain heart health.
• Pharmacologic Stress Test: This service assesses your heart's response to medicine, helping doctors evaluate its health and function.
• Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): Blocked coronary arteries can be opened with PCI, a procedure that involves inserting a catheter to inflate a balloon at the blockage, sometimes with a stent inserted afterward.
• Insertion of Left Ventricular Lead for Pacemaker or Cardioverter and Defibrillator: The doctor inserted a small wire into my heart's left ventricle to connect it to my pacemaker or defibrillator.
• Cardiovascular Diagnostic Test: Doctors use these tests to diagnose heart disease, evaluate the effectiveness of treatment, and monitor your progress.

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

How does Dr. Sameer Chadha treat heart valve disease?

Dr. Chadha approaches heart valve disease with a personalized strategy. This may include routine monitoring for mild cases, medication management for moderate conditions, and, for severe cases, coordination with a cardiac surgeon or interventional cardiologist for procedures like valve repair or replacement (TAVR).

How does Dr. Sameer Chadha treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

Dr. Chadha's approach to treating high blood pressure is comprehensive, focusing on lifestyle modifications like diet, exercise, and stress reduction, along with appropriate medication prescriptions. The goal is to achieve and maintain healthy blood pressure levels to prevent potential future heart and vascular problems.

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

What is a cardiac catheterization or angiogram?

Cardiac catheterization, or angiogram, is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat heart conditions. A thin tube (catheter) is guided to the heart to measure pressures and visualize the coronary arteries with dye, allowing for identification of blockages.
