San Antonio Regional Hospital will be presenting the 2022 Cardiovascular Virtual Community Lecture Series. The lecture series will be starting Thursday, February 10th and going through Thursday, March 24th.
High Tech Imaging for Diagnosing and Treating Heart Conditions
The field of cardiology is evolving, with new non-invasive options for those who are experiencing heart issues. Cardiologist Samir Samarany, MD will present a virtual community lecture on the latest high tech imaging tools available to doctors and how they are being used to effectively diagnose and treat cardiac diseases.
Peripheral Artery Disease and Heart Attacks
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem in which the arteries in the leg are narrowed, restricting blood flow back to the heart. Join cardiologist Tuan Pham, MD online to learn about the methods doctors use to diagnose and treat this condition, as well as steps you can take to prevent PAD.
New Tools and Procedures to Battle Heart Disease
Cardiac catheterization technology continues to evolve rapidly. Now, in addition to routine heart procedures, physicians can perform a host of interventional cardiac procedures that minimize risk and shorten recovery for patients. Join cardiologist Suraj Rasania, MD as he shares the new technologies available to cardiologists in the cath lab's "tool box".
Prevention, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Management
Join cardiologist B. Don Ahn, MD to learn more about heart disease, from prevention to diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management. Dr. Ahn's virtual lecture will be presented in the Korean language for members of Korean communities throughout Southern California.
Women have heart attacks too!
Heart disease kills 1 in 5 American women. Yet, heart disease does not need to be a death sentence. While prevention for both men and women is optimal, early detection, timely intervention, and ongoing management is the key to improving heart health. Join cardiologist Vatsal Mody, MD to learn more about a women's heart and how to reduce the risk of developing heart disease, as well as the signs and symptoms of a heart attack in women.
Surgical Procedures Repair Hearts
Sometimes surgery is necessary to repair the damage caused by heart disease, but the good news is that surgical interventions are continually evolving and optimal results can be achieved even when the condition is severe. Join cardiovascular surgeons Nan Wang, MD, Vincent Lee, MD, and Nerraj Bansal, MD as they share the latest surgical advances in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), heart valve disease, and aortic heart disease.
Heart disease is common and can lead to heart attacks, advanced heart failure, and sometimes death. COVID-19 has caused many to delay routine screenings, which only increases the risk. Join a virtual presentation with cardiologist Roger Duber, DO to learn how heart disease develops, and how you can lower your risk factors to help prevent the onset of the disease and a potential heart attack.
The Truth About Atrial Fibrillation
Heart rhythm disturbances are common. Find out about the risk factors for abnormal heart rhythm and how you have control over it. Join a virtual presentation with cardiologist Edward Abdullah, MD to Learn how electrophysiology can help ensure You Got the Beat!
El tiempo es crítico si usted está experimentando un ataque (al corazón) or (cardíaco). Únase a una presentación virtual con el médico de emergencia Dennis Trigueros, M.D. y la cardióloga Fatima Hakkak, D.O. para aprender lo que necesita hacer si está experimentando los signos o síntomas de un ataque cardíaco; las acciones importantes que necesita tomar inmediatamente; cómo el equipo médico lo atenderá cuando llegue al hospital; y más importante, cómo usted puede reducir sus factores de riesgo para ayudar a prevenir los procesos de la enfermedad que podrían conducir a un ataque cardíaco.
Dennis Trigueros, M.D. & Fatima Hakkak, D.O., cardiologist
