Congratulations to Dr. Shervelle Fouché, who just began her internship. Years ago, she did a medical school elective under my supervision and afterwards volunteered at our Premier Heart Care Ltd office - observing everything from cardiology consults to ECGs, echos, stress tests and even angiography.

Yesterday, she stopped by just to say “thank you” - and honestly, she made my day!

During a Trans-esophageal echo (TEE), the sensor (transducer) is placed in the esophagus behind the heart. The sensor sends and receives sound waves that produce high quality images of the heart.
TEE is useful in evaluating:
1. Congenital heart disease.
2. Aortic dissection.
3. Aneurysms of the aorta.
4. Valvular heart disease.
5. Infective endocarditis.
6. Cardiac tumors
7. Stroke due to Thromboembolism

Over time, a lack of physical activity can take a serious toll - affecting your heart, lungs, metabolism, hormones, and even your joints and muscles.

Dr. Clifford Thomas, Cardiologist at Premier Heart Care Ltd, decided to lead by example and take on the challenge of more demanding physical activity. After confirming his heart was up to the task, he began ramping up the intensity and duration of his exercise routine - focusing on strength, flexibility, and endurance through hiking and events like the recently held Barbados Hill Challenge.

When performed by experienced cardiac labs, the ECG stress test and physiological stress echo (PSE) are useful tests for detecting blocked coronary arteries. Electrical activity (ECG) and myocardial contractility (Echo) are monitored at rest and during exercise.

Echo imaging increases the accuracy of the test and indicates which myocardial segment (and corresponding artery) is involved.

Blocked coronary arteries cause myocardial infarction or angina:

a) Completely blocked arteries cause heart attacks (myocardial infarction) with scarring of the muscle and impaired myocardial contractility at rest.

b) Partially blocked arteries cause exertional chest pain (angina) with impaired myocardial contractility during exercise.

A cardiology consultation is the first step toward understanding and managing your heart health. It begins with:
✔️ A detailed patient interview (your medical history)
✔️ A physical examination
✔️ Review and interpretation of key investigations

These steps help your cardiologist make an accurate diagnosis - and from there, create the right treatment plan just for you.

Premier Heart Care Ltd was proud to be a sponsor of Jazz Artists On The Greens - JAOTG
Why? Because just like jazz, heart health is all about rhythm, flow and connection.

Supporting this event aligns perfectly with our mission - to encourage wellness in every form, including through the healing power of music, culture and community. Supporting the arts while promoting healthier lifestyles is at the core of what we believe in.

To everyone who came out and enjoyed the vibes, thank you for making heart health part of the conversation!

An Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor (ABPM) is a small device that measures and records your blood pressure over 24 hours, giving a clearer picture of your heart health.

This test helps determine whether elevated readings are due to the “white coat effect” (nervousness at the doctor’s office) or if you have true hypertension that needs to be managed.

Is your heart keeping up with you?
A stress test helps assess how well your heart functions during exercise and can detect heart muscle that is not getting sufficient blood flow. Early detection can make all the difference!

Did you know that FASTING from anger is just as important as watching your diet and exercise?

Stress and anger can take a serious toll on your heart health, increasing blood pressure and raising the risk of heart disease. Try letting go of frustration and embracing calm - your heart will thank you!
