Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, often leading to serious health problems like heart attacks, strokes, and chest pain (angina). These conditions are typically caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which restricts blood flow and increases the risk of life-threatening events. At Revere Health, we offer comprehensive care for patients with cardiovascular disease, focusing on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment to improve heart health and reduce the risk of complications.
Common Cardiovascular Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart, often leading to heart attacks.
Stroke: Occurs when blood flow to the brain is reduced or blocked, causing brain damage.
Heart Failure: A condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively, leading to fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid buildup.
Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats that can affect heart function.
Symptoms of Cardiovascular Disease
Chest Pain (Angina): A common sign of restricted blood flow to the heart.
Shortness of Breath: Can occur with or without physical activity.
Fatigue: Persistent tiredness, especially during exertion.
Swelling: Fluid retention in the legs, ankles, or feet due to poor circulation.
Treatment and Care
Lifestyle Modifications: Diet, exercise, and quitting smoking are key to managing cardiovascular disease.
Medications: Drugs to manage blood pressure, cholesterol, and other risk factors.
Surgical Interventions: Procedures like angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery may be required for severe blockages.
