- Long-term ambulatory hemodynamic monitoring for syncope and arrhythmia.

Patient Guidelines: Pre- and Post-Procedure

Dr. Alaghbari emphasizes a holistic preparation plan. Patients are advised to hold specific anticoagulant medications before interventions and undergo thorough preoperative blood work. Post-procedural care is just as critical; patients receive a customized rehabilitation plan focusing on gradual physical exertion, dietary modifications (DASH diet), and consistent medication compliance to minimize long-term risks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the primary symptoms that warrant immediate cardiac evaluation?
A: Persistent chest pressure, unexplained shortness of breath, sudden palpitations, or pain radiating to the jaw and left shoulder are critical warning signs.
Q: Is a cardiac catheterization procedure safe?
A: Yes. Performed under local anesthesia, modern catheterization is a routine, minimally invasive procedure with very low complication rates when performed by experienced specialists.
Q: How often should I monitor my blood pressure if I have hypertension?
A: Ideally, twice daily. Maintaining a log of these readings is essential for adjusting your treatment plan effectively during follow-ups.
