What is heart disease?

Heart disease includes many types of conditions that affect the structure or function of your heart. Your heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout your entire body. Heart health depends on many factors, including your lifestyle and family health history.

Heart disease is common and deadly. In many cases, diseases of the heart are preventable and develop without causing symptoms.

What are the types of heart disease?

There are many types of heart disease. Some people are born with a heart condition, while others develop heart problems as they get older.

Dr. Bomb cares for all types of heart diseases, including:

Coronary artery disease (CAD)

CAD is the most common type of heart disease. People with CAD have blockages in the main arteries in the heart, affecting the flow of oxygen-rich blood.

Congestive heart failure (CHF)

CHF, or heart failure, means the heart isn’t strong enough to pump an adequate supply of oxygen-rich blood to the rest of your body.

Arrhythmia

An arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat, including a heart that beats too fast, too slow, or erratically. Heart palpitations are a common sign of arrhythmias.

Dr. Bomb also manages heart conditions in people with cancer.

What tests diagnose heart disease?

Dr. Bomb takes a holistic and patient-centered approach to care. When you visit RK Heart & Vascular Care with concerns about heart disease, he conducts a thorough exam to determine what type of testing you might need to get a diagnosis.

Some of the testing Dr. Bomb may perform includes:

Blood work
Electrocardiogram
Stress testing
Echocardiogram
Implantable loop recorder for remote monitoring

At RK Heart & Vascular Care, Dr. Bomb provides all the care you need under one roof.

What types of treatments benefit heart disease?

Dr. Bomb customizes treatment for heart disease based on your diagnosis and the severity of your symptoms. Treatment might include:

Heart-healthy diet
Regular exercise
Weight loss
Smoking cessation
Disease-specific medication

In some cases, Dr. Bomb may recommend surgical interventions to improve heart health, such as angioplasty and stent placement for CAD to treat blockages and improve blood flow.

Dr. Bomb also specializes in preventative cardiology and encourages patients with concerns about heart health or a family history of heart disease to schedule an evaluation. Finding heart conditions during the early stages may prevent more serious health complications.
