Cardio-Pulmonary Care

Understanding Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Health

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in the United States, affecting millions each year. In Texas, nearly one in four deaths is attributed to heart disease, emphasizing the need for comprehensive care. Similarly, pulmonary conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma significantly impact respiratory health and quality of life. At WellGen Health, we focus on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the heart, blood vessels, and lungs, providing expert care to help you maintain a healthy cardio-pulmonary system.

Cardiovascular Health
Heart disease can result from a combination of factors, including:

  • Medical Conditions: High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
  • Lifestyle Choices: Poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and excessive alcohol use.
  • Genetics: A family history of heart disease increases your risk.

Pulmonary Health
Pulmonary conditions often arise due to:

  • Environmental Factors: Exposure to pollutants, allergens, and smoking.
  • Chronic Diseases: Asthma, COPD, and lung infections.
  • Occupational Hazards: Long-term exposure to dust or chemicals.

Understanding these risk factors is essential for early intervention and prevention.

Accurate and timely diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective treatment. At WellGen Health, we offer comprehensive evaluations to identify potential heart and lung conditions, including:

Medical History and Physical Examination

  • Reviewing personal and family health risks.
  • Assessing cardiovascular and respiratory function.

Diagnostic Tests for the Heart

  • Electrocardiogram (EKG): To evaluate heart rhythms.
  • Echocardiogram: To assess heart structure and function.
  • Stress Tests: To monitor heart performance under exertion.
  • Blood Tests: To measure cholesterol and other cardiovascular markers.

Diagnostic Tests for the Lungs

  • Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs): To measure lung capacity and airflow.
  • Imaging: Chest X-rays or CT scans to detect lung abnormalities.
  • Blood Gas Analysis: To evaluate oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.

Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools ensure precise evaluation and early detection of cardio-pulmonary conditions.

Effective management focuses on improving heart and lung function, reducing symptoms, and enhancing overall quality of life.

Lifestyle Modifications

  • Following a heart- and lung-healthy diet rich in nutrients and antioxidants.
  • Engaging in regular physical activity to strengthen the heart and lungs.
  • Avoiding smoking and limiting exposure to environmental pollutants.

Medications

  • Managing blood pressure, cholesterol, and respiratory conditions with prescribed treatments.
  • Inhalers or bronchodilators for managing asthma and COPD.

Advanced Interventions

  • Cardiovascular Care: Angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery for severe heart conditions.
  • Pulmonary Care: Oxygen therapy or pulmonary rehabilitation for chronic lung issues.
