Cardiovascular Conditions Addressed

Dr. Trevor Greene addresses a wide range of Cardiovascular health concerns, including:

• Cardiomegaly: Cardiomegaly refers to an increase in the size of your heart, which may require further medical evaluation.
• Mitral Valve Stenosis: Mitral valve stenosis occurs when the valve between the heart's two left chambers narrows, making it harder for blood to flow through.
• Limb Swelling Caused by Fluid Overload: Fluid buildup in your limbs can cause swelling.
• Aneurysm: An aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel that can weaken it and potentially rupture.
• Hyperlipidemia: Having high cholesterol or triglycerides (types of fat) in your blood is called hyperlipidemia.
• Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis: Rheumatic mitral stenosis is a narrowing of the mitral valve in your heart caused by rheumatic fever.
• Mitral and Aortic Valve Disorder: Disorders of the mitral and aortic valves involve malfunctioning heart valves that may restrict or allow backflow of blood.
• Aortic Dissection: A tear in the inner layer of your aorta, a major artery branching off the heart, can cause a life-threatening condition known as an aortic dissection.
• Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is characterized by brief, intermittent periods of irregular, fast heartbeats that spontaneously resolve themselves.
• Rheumatic Aortic Valve Disorders: Aortic valve disease stemming from rheumatic fever may require surgery or other interventions to maintain proper blood flow.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, often in the leg, and can be dangerous if it travels to the lungs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Trevor Greene:

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 all your heart health needs.

What should I expect during my first visit with Dr. Trevor Greene?

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

Does Dr. Trevor Greene accept my insurance?

Dr. Greene's office accepts a variety of insurance plans. To confirm coverage for your specific insurance plan, please call our office directly with your insurance information. We can then verify if your plan is accepted for consultations and any potential procedures.

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

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

What does a heart failure diagnosis mean?

A heart failure diagnosis means your heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as it should. Fortunately, we can manage this with lifestyle changes and medications to improve heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance your quality of life.

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

A pacemaker helps regulate slow heartbeats by sending electrical signals, while an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) monitors for and corrects dangerously fast heart rhythms through electrical shocks.

What is the treatment for high cholesterol?

Treatment for high cholesterol often starts with dietary changes and increased physical activity. If lifestyle modifications are insufficient, Dr. Trevor Greene may prescribe medications, such as statins, to effectively lower cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular risk.
