Expert Heart Care Services by Dr. Md. Saiful Islam
Heart Disease Treatment
Heart disease includes problems like blocked arteries, heart failure, and irregular heartbeats. The doctor is skilled in diagnosing and treating these conditions to help your heart work better.
- Coronary Artery Disease (Blocked Arteries): This happens when the arteries supplying blood to your heart become narrowed or blocked. It can cause chest pain or lead to a heart attack. The doctor uses tests like ECGs and echocardiograms to see how well your heart is working. Depending on your condition, you may need medications, lifestyle changes, or procedures like angioplasty or stents to improve blood flow.
- Heart Failure: When the heart can’t pump blood as well as it should, it can cause tiredness, breathing trouble, and swelling in your legs. The doctor provides treatments that may include medications, lifestyle advice, and sometimes surgery to help your heart pump better.
- Irregular Heartbeats (Arrhythmias): The doctor helps manage problems with heart rhythm, like a heartbeat that’s too fast or too slow. Treatments include medications and, in some cases, a procedure called catheter ablation, which can fix the problem by removing small areas of heart tissue causing the irregular beat.
The doctor takes the time to understand each patient’s condition and provides personalized care based on their needs.
Hypertension Management (High Blood Pressure)
High blood pressure, if not managed, can lead to serious problems like strokes and heart disease. The doctor is an expert at helping patients control their blood pressure and stay healthy.
- Lifestyle Changes: The doctor works with you to adjust your diet, exercise more, and quit smoking if needed. Reducing salt intake, eating healthier foods, and staying active can make a big difference in lowering blood pressure.
- Medications: If lifestyle changes aren’t enough, the doctor may prescribe medicines to help lower your blood pressure. These medications may include ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, or diuretics, depending on what works best for you. The doctor will monitor your progress to ensure the treatment is effective.
The doctor focuses on long-term management to keep your blood pressure under control, helping you avoid serious complications.
Interventional Cardiology
The doctor specializes in minimally invasive procedures that treat heart problems with smaller cuts and quicker recovery times. These procedures are great for treating blocked arteries or diagnosing heart issues.
- Angioplasty: This procedure uses a small balloon to open up blocked or narrowed arteries, helping blood flow better to the heart. It’s often done during or after a heart attack to quickly improve blood flow.
- Stent Placement: After an angioplasty, the doctor may place a stent (a small tube) in the artery to keep it open, making sure it doesn’t get blocked again. This reduces the chances of future heart attacks.
- Cardiac Catheterization: This is a test where a thin tube (catheter) is put into a blood vessel and guided to the heart. It helps the doctor check for blockages or other heart problems and decide on the best treatment.
These procedures help patients recover faster and get back to their normal lives quickly, without the long recovery that comes with open-heart surgery.
Rheumatic Fever Care
Rheumatic fever is a serious illness that can damage your heart if not treated properly. It often starts from untreated strep throat. The doctor specializes in preventing and treating this condition to protect your heart.
- Early Treatment: The doctor focuses on diagnosing rheumatic fever early and treating it with antibiotics to clear up the infection. Anti-inflammatory medicines are also used to reduce swelling and pain.
- Long-Term Care: If rheumatic fever has damaged your heart valves, the doctor provides regular check-ups to monitor your heart and ensure everything is working properly. You may need medications like blood thinners to prevent clots, or more antibiotics to avoid future infections.
- Surgery if Needed: In some cases, if the heart valves are badly damaged, surgery may be needed to repair or replace them. The doctor will guide you through the process and work with a surgical team if necessary.
With the doctor’s long-term care, patients with rheumatic fever can protect their hearts and live healthier lives.
