Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a groundbreaking alternative to open-heart surgery for patients with severe aortic stenosis. It replaces a narrowed valve using a catheter, typically inserted through the leg, no chest incision required.

TAVR offers a faster recovery and fewer complications for older adults or those considered high-risk for surgery. Most patients are up and walking within 24 hours, with a noticeable improvement in breathing and energy levels within days.

Who qualifies? If you've been told you're too high-risk for traditional surgery, or you're experiencing chest pressure, dizziness, or fatigue, ask us about TAVR.

Breathe easier with a better option. Book your TAVR consultation today and be seen within 24–48 hours.

Stroke risk doesn't always start in the brain, it often begins in the neck. Carotid artery disease occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to your brain. If a piece of plaque breaks off, it can block blood flow and trigger a stroke.

Symptoms are often silent until a mini-stroke (TIA) or full stroke occurs. That’s why screening is so important, especially for people over 65 or those with high blood pressure, smoking history, or high cholesterol.

With a simple, painless carotid ultrasound, we can check for narrowing or blockages, and take preventive steps before symptoms begin.

Stroke prevention starts early. Book your carotid screening today and be seen within 24–48 hours. info.hearthousenj.com/same-day-appointments/patients

A pacemaker is a small, implantable device designed to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms. For patients experiencing bradycardia (a heart rate that is too slow) or irregular electrical activity in the heart, a pacemaker can restore a healthy, steady heartbeat by delivering gentle electrical impulses.

This minimally invasive procedure is often recommended for individuals with symptoms such as:
➡️ Fatigue
➡️ Dizziness or fainting spells
➡️ Shortness of breath
➡️ Noticeable pauses or irregularity in heartbeat

By helping the heart maintain a consistent rhythm, pacemakers not only relieve these symptoms but also reduce the risk of serious complications associated with heart rhythm disorders.

At The Heart House, we offer comprehensive care that includes personalized lifestyle guidance. Book your appointment today to learn if a Pacemaker is right for you: info.hearthousenj.com/same-day-appointments/patients

We recommend starting with an evaluation by your primary care physician. This important step helps rule out non-cardiac causes of symptoms, such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, which can sometimes be linked to conditions like anxiety, acid reflux, or
musculoskeletal issues.

A referral from your primary doctor ensures you receive the most appropriate care and helps avoid unnecessary testing. If a cardiology evaluation is needed, your provider can refer you directly to The Heart House.

Many people believe cardiac arrest only happens to those with obvious heart disease. In reality, 50% of people who experience sudden cardiac arrest had no prior symptoms.

Unlike a heart attack (which is a plumbing issue), cardiac arrest is an electrical problem. The heart’s rhythm suddenly stops, and brain damage can begin within 4 to 6 minutes if CPR isn’t started.

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common heart rhythm disorder in older adults, yet many people misunderstand the true danger it poses.

AFib is not just about feeling your heart race or flutter. Even without noticeable symptoms, AFib significantly increases your risk of stroke because it disrupts the normal flow of blood through the heart’s upper chambers (the atria).

When blood flow becomes sluggish, it can pool and form clots inside the heart, particularly in a small pocket called the left atrial appendage. If a clot dislodges and travels to the brain, it can cause a stroke that may be disabling or even fatal.

If you or a loved one have AFib, known risk factors, or symptoms like palpitations, fatigue, or unexplained shortness of breath, don’t wait.

Heart disease isn’t always loud. Many serious cardiac conditions begin with subtle symptoms like fatigue, mild shortness of breath, lightheadedness, or swelling in the legs or feet. These are often dismissed as “normal aging,” but they may be early warning signs that your heart is struggling to keep up.

Many people don’t realize that heart failure, arrhythmias, and coronary artery disease can develop silently over months or years. By the time more dramatic symptoms appear, damage may already be done. That’s why it’s so important to act on small changes early.

Our advice: If you find yourself slowing down, needing more rest, or getting winded more easily than before, don’t ignore it. These signs are worth investigating.

✔️ Stand or walk every 30–60 minutes
✔️ Stretch your legs at your desk
✔️ Take walking breaks or use a standing desk

Bradycardia is a heart rhythm condition where the heart beats slower than normal, typically under 60 beats per minute.

While a slow heart rate can be normal for athletes, in other cases it may mean the heart isn't pumping enough blood to meet the body’s needs.

Signs that bradycardia needs evaluation:
- Fatigue or weakness
- Dizziness or fainting spells
- Shortness of breath
- Chest discomfort

Left untreated, bradycardia can lead to heart failure or dangerously low blood pressure. Don't wait to address your heart health concerns, schedule a quick appointment today. www.hearthousenj.com

Did you know that fiber helps lower cholesterol and reduce plaque buildup in the arteries?

Easy fiber-rich swaps to try:
➡️ Switch white rice for quinoa or brown rice
➡️ Add beans or lentils to salads, soups, or wraps
➡️ Snack on fruits like pears, apples, or berries
➡️ Choose whole-grain bread and pasta
➡️ Add a handful of chia or flaxseeds to smoothies or oatmeal

Most adults need 25–30 grams of fiber per day, but most get far less. Start small, and your heart will thank you.

Many people are surprised to learn just how strongly type 2 diabetes is linked to heart disease, especially in women. In fact, women with diabetes face a 3 to 7 times higher risk of developing heart disease compared to women without diabetes.

Why the higher risk? Diabetes affects how your body processes sugar, but it also damages blood vessels and nerves that control the heart. In women, this can lead to more aggressive plaque buildup in the arteries and a greater chance of experiencing heart attacks or other cardiovascular complications.

The good news, with the right care, this risk can be managed. Controlling blood sugar, maintaining a heart-healthy diet, staying physically active, and keeping up with regular check-ups are all powerful steps in protecting your heart.

Take the first step toward a healthier heart! 🫀 Be proactive about your vascular health. Book your visit today and be seen within 24–48 hours.
