Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Sattar Gojraty:

What is a Cardiologist?

A cardiologist is a medical doctor specializing in the heart and blood vessels. They diagnose, treat, and prevent heart conditions like coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and high blood pressure.

What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. Sattar Gojraty?

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

Dr. Gojraty's office accepts a variety of insurance plans. To confirm your specific coverage for consultations and procedures, please call our office directly with your insurance information.

What is the treatment for high cholesterol?

Managing high cholesterol often starts with dietary changes and increased physical activity. When lifestyle modifications aren't sufficient, Dr. Gojraty may prescribe medications, such as statins, to effectively lower cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular risk.

What is a cardiac catheterization or angiogram?

A 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 us to identify any blockages.

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

A pacemaker helps regulate slow heartbeats by sending electrical impulses. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) monitors for rapid, potentially dangerous heart rhythms and can deliver a shock to restore a normal heart rate.

How does Dr. Sattar Gojraty treat high blood pressure (hypertension)?

Dr. Gojraty employs a comprehensive approach to managing high blood pressure, encompassing lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes, exercise, and stress reduction, along with carefully selected medications. The ultimate goal is to achieve and maintain healthy blood pressure levels to prevent future cardiovascular problems.

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.
