What to Expect During a Cardiology Consultation

During your cardiology consultation, Dr. Bokhari reviews your family health and personal history, prevailing medical needs, responds to any questions you might have, and recommends any tests that might help determine the risk factors for heart-related diseases.

The most common risk factors for vascular and heart disease include advanced age (55 for women, 45 for men) and family history of premature heart disease. Schedule an appointment with a quadruple board-certified surgeon and an expert in minimally invasive therapies, Dr. Syed Bokhari, to review your risk profile.

What Cardiovascular Screening Should You Get?

Receiving routine screenings can help Dr. Bokhari diagnoses risk factors for cardiovascular conditions before they worsen, reveal any need for treatments, and help you stay on track for an overall heart-healthy path. Some basic screenings include:

• Blood Pressure

Blood pressure screening can help detect hypertension, which is generally asymptomatic but significantly reduces your risk for stroke and heart disease. In case your blood pressure falls below 120/80 mmHg, at least one test every two years from age 20 is essential. Higher blood pressure might require frequent testing, as well as medication and lifestyle adjustments.

• Blood Sugar

From age 45 onwards, you should get regular blood-glucose checks every three years or more. High blood sugar levels raise your risk for prediabetes, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. If not treated, diabetes might result in adverse complications such as heart disease.

• Cholesterol and Triglycerides

From age 20, target to have a fasting lipoprotein profile that evaluates your triglyceride and cholesterol levels every 4-6 years. More regular testing might be recommended if you experience risk factors for stroke or heart disease.

• Lifestyle

While this is not a typical test, discussing your lifestyle at annual and cardiovascular exams is essential. Taking a healthy diet, quitting smoking, and remaining physically active helps prevent cardiovascular disease. If you aren’t certain what adjustments to make or are struggling to keep up, discuss your concerns and habits with Dr. Bokhari.
