Getting to the heart of heart health

BY MITUL PATEL, MD CARDIOLOGIST, CATSKILL REGIONAL MEDICAL GROUP

A

s we all know, heart disease is very prevalent as the number one cause of death for both men and women nationally and worldwide.

One in every four deaths in the United States is attributed to a form of heart disease.

The most common form of heart disease is coronary artery disease (CAD), which is related to heart attacks and blockages of the arteries.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report approximately 735,000 Americans suffer a heart attack every year, with 525,000 of them being first-time heart attack victims.

Recognizing the Symptoms It is important to understand some of the symptoms that can indicate developing or rapid onset heart conditions. The most common symptom is chest discomfort, which most people describe as pressure or as a squeezing sensation. Pain can also radiate to the arms, jaw and neck. But, it is worth noting that these symptoms can also indicate other, non-heart-related issues.

In women and patients with diabetes, heart-related symptoms can also include unexplained nausea and shortness of breath. If you find you are able to perform a physical activity, but as time progresses you become decidedly more tired, fatigued or out of breath, or if you develop that chest discomfort, this can also be a sign. Some patients with underlying heart issues also report feeling as though their heart begins racing at times or that they feel lightheaded.

Urgent or Preventive Diagnoses Anyone can develop heart disease at just about any age. If you have risk factors for heart disease – which include smoking, eating an unhealthy diet and not getting enough exercise – or if you

think you already have signs of a developing issue, diagnostics can help.

Whether you have symptoms that are progressive, or you just want to take proactive, preventive measures, a visit with your Primary Care doctor is a good place to begin the conversation.

Of course, meeting with a cardiologist is an even better way to begin to establish a baseline and assess your unique condition.

For anyone who experiences chest pain or discomfort that begins abruptly, consider going to an emergency room for evaluation to be sure you are not actively having a heart attack.

Diagnosis & Treatment for Heart Disease Technology for both diagnosing and treating heart disease has made tremendous advances in recent years.

For diagnosing heart conditions, especially for situations related to blocked arteries or the heart muscle not getting enough blood, patients can start off with an electrocardiogram to give us an idea of any previous damage to the heart or of any kind of active process going on.

From there we can do a stress test, which can now be done in many ways and not just by getting on a treadmill PLEASE SEE HEART, 5W

or an exercise bike. There are now substances we can use to mimic that exertion in the body. We can also use an echocardiogram to capture images of the heart muscle itself to identify if there are any areas that are not getting enough blood.

From there, we can do an angiogram as well; another way to take a look and see if there are any blockages and how severe they are. Sometimes, we can even treat them right there, using stents and ballooning them open.

Often, we recommend simpler lifestyle changes to combat the progression of heart conditions. Of course, when severe heart conditions are identified, patients may require major procedures. These are all deeper discussions to have with your Primary Care doctor and Cardiologist as diagnosis and treatment continues.

When you take care of your heart, you’re getting to the heart of your overall well-being. The Cardiovascular Services department at Catskill Regional Medical Group is available to help. You can call Catskill Regional Medical Group at (845) 794-3379 to schedule an appointment. We offer

same-day appointments and the flexibility to see patients if the need is urgent.

Fallsburg Boys Basketball Coach: Lionel White Last season’s record: 13-6 Top returning players:Lenard Perry, Shawn Leszcznyski, Steven Seastrand.

Key losses: Brandon Blakney, Nazir Jones, Britain Burgess, Rashaad Nurse, Zen Arscott, Shyheim Carr, Louis Blake, Phillip Cash.

Key games: Every game is important, but of course all division games.

Coach’s comment: I always expect

my players to be positive role models on and off the court. Also, I expect each player to be exceptional students in the classroom. We lost a tremendous amount of senior leadership. I expect this year’s seniors to step into the role of being the leaders and guiding our young talented players. I have nine new players this year, who I believe if we can come together as a team, we can have a successful year.

Fallsburg Girls Basketball Coach: Daniel Redmond Last season record: 11-8 (won OCIAA Division IV with 7-1 league record) Key losses: Diamond Weeks –– Current Fallsburg school history scoring leader and Sierra Barbiani.

Key returners: Amanda Zeno (Second leading scorer on the team last year); Zariah Williams (Third leading scorer on the team last year), Katelynn McCarthy.

Key additions: Chloe Barber and Shauna Bellacicco.

Coach’s comment: The team’s goals are to compete for another division title (3 in the last 4 years) and return to the section IX tournament for the ninth year in a row. We are a younger team when it comes to varsity experience and would like to improve more and more each game. We would love to make a deeper run in the section IX tournament as well.

Liberty Girls Basketball Coach: Liz Fuentes 2017-2018 record: 1-19 Key Loss: Olivia Racette graduated, she was a Section IX honorable mention last year.

Key returners: Kelsey Morgans (She missed her junior year after having surgery on a torn ACL. Kelsey is an outstanding athlete and a true leader on the court. She has been a starter for varsity basketball since 8th grade.

I believe Kelsey has huge All-Star potential).

Angel Giarratano-Rogers (Angel has been a key player for Liberty the last two years).

Kassidy DeGroat(This will be Kassidy’s second year on varsity. I believe she has the most potential of any player on the team. If she starts to believe in herself the way I do, she could be unstoppable around the basket).

Annalyse Holbert (Annalyse has a lot of potential and will be important for us off the bench).

Newcomers: Ally Roth (She has been unstoppable at the JV level and

is going to be one of the leaders on our varsity squad this year. The combination of Morgans and Roth will be tough for many teams to guard. Ally has three years with me at varsity and expect her to do big things for us).

Gabriella Magie (Gabby is a workhorse. She plays hard all the time and is pushing herself to be better every second on the court. Gabby shows some range at times to step away from the rim and hit an important jump shot).

Coach’s comment: This is my first year as Varsity Head Coach. I was the Assistant Varsity Coach at Brentwood in Long Island for 3 years from 20052008. I then was the JV coach in Liberty when I first moved back up here.

We are working with a very raw group of girls this year. Last season was a tough season for the girls, and we are looking to become competitive again.

I am a Liberty alumni and I played basketball for Liberty from 94-98. I want to bring that kind of basketball back to Liberty. We are focusing on skills, defense and teamwork this

Liberty Boys Indoor Track

Liberty Girls Indoor Track Coach’s comment: The girls indoor team is small with a mix of experienced competitors and newcomers.

The girls are working very hard in practice. We look to improve with each meet and be competitive in meets against like-sized schools.

Coach: Ralph Bressler Top returning players: Miguel Campos-Castro.

Key losses to graduation: Jordan Russo, Elvis Fuentes-Paz. Key games: Division Meet at West Point.

Coach’s comment: The boys’ indoor team has 23 members when all are present and eligible to compete. Even though there are many returning competitors the team is young with only four seniors. There are several new-

comers including those who have come up from the modified team.

Some of these athletes could make an impact this season. The boys are working very hard in practice but everyone will have to make an additional effort to be able to compete with the perennial powerhouse teams during the championship part of the season. We emphasize individual improvement at each meet to ensure a good team result.
