Shortness of Breath

Aortic Stenosis
Aortic stenosis occurs when the aortic valve becomes narrowed due to calcium buildup or other factors, restricting blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. This forces the heart to work harder, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, and even fainting.
TAVR is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that replaces the narrowed valve, improving blood flow, relieving symptoms, and enhancing overall heart function. This procedure can be especially beneficial for those who may not be candidates for traditional open-heart surgery.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) refers to a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, typically in the leg. If a DVT clot travels to the lungs, it can cause a life-threatening pulmonary embolism, which can make it extremely difficult to breathe.
DVT Clot Removal is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively removes the clot, restoring blood flow, reducing the risk of pulmonary embolism, and alleviating symptoms like shortness of breath and leg pain. Early intervention is key to preventing complications associated with DVT.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
Shortness of breath can often be an early indicator of congestive heart failure, as the heart struggles to pump blood efficiently, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs. If you’re experiencing persistent breathlessness, it’s essential to explore the possibility of CHF with a cardiologist.
