y, patients receive comprehensive care designed to prevent, diagnose, and manage these life-threatening conditions.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or significantly reduced, leading to damage of brain tissue. A TIA is similar but temporary, often lasting only minutes to hours. While TIA symptoms may resolve on their own, they are strong warning signs of a future stroke and should never be ignored.
Common symptoms include sudden numbness or weakness, difficulty speaking, vision problems, dizziness, or loss of coordination. Recognizing these warning signs quickly can save lives.
Carotid artery disease is one of the leading causes of stroke and TIA’s. When plaque builds up in the carotid arteries, it restricts blood flow or causes clots that can travel to the brain. This condition often develops silently, without noticeable symptoms, until a serious event occurs.
Because of this, early detection through advanced diagnostic testing is essential. Identifying carotid disease before it causes a stroke allows doctors to implement treatments that reduce risks and protect long-term health.
Heartwise Cardiology provides expert care for patients at risk of stroke, TIA’s, and carotid disease. Their team uses state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic tools to evaluate the condition of the carotid arteries and assess stroke risk. Once a diagnosis is made, a personalized treatment plan is developed to reduce complications.
Treatment may include lifestyle modifications, medications to control blood pressure and cholesterol, or advanced procedures when necessary to restore healthy blood flow. Preventive cardiology is also a cornerstone of care at Heartwise, focusing on reducing risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
What sets Heartwise Cardiology apart is their comprehensive, patient-focused approach. From preventive screenings and advanced diagnostics to ongoing management and education, the goal is to reduce stroke risk and improve quality of life.
