Revista do Instituto Adolfo Lutz (Impresso) versão impressa ISSN 0073-9855 Rev. Adolfo Lutz (Impr.) vol.66 no.1 São Paulo 2007. Albaghdadi said one needs to know the signs of a heart problem, most of which occur in the upper body. Among them are feelings of indigestion, arm discomfort and elbow discomfort. On the surface it looks like it has nothing to do with the heart but on the inside it could be blocked arteries. It’s the radiation of discomfort people have in the heart. There are nerve connections that can radiate that discomfort, usually with the left arm. Usually those kind of symptoms don’t get missed often. If someone has chest pains and it goes to the arm I should know that this is a heart problem. When you have vague symptoms is when it becomes a problem.

Then you cannot know if anything wrong is happening with your body. Albaghdadi said there are also things that need to be addressed in people with diabetes and women. Their symptoms can be different from other people with heart problems. They will have vague symptoms, maybe get short- winded doing very little. Then that’s when you have to wonder why am I getting short- winded walking short distances to my car or down the stairs’. If someone has a family history of clogged arteries, high cholesterol or high- blood pressure, those can also cause issues. The symptoms of blocked arteries are much higher if you have such a family history, Albaghdadi said. The recommendation from the College of Cardiology and the Preventative Task Force says doctors should be exercising people after age 5. Without symptoms I think everyone would exercise patients differently. We do stress tests, screens and now we have been doing calcium scoring, and a CAT scan will tell you if you have a high calcium score, which means your arteries are blocked with calcium. Calcium buildup appears when plaque is building up in that artery. When the healing occurs it will have calcium buildup; the higher the calcium score the more likely this will be a calcium buildup in the artery. Albaghdadi believes the calcium scorer is an underutilized tool and thinks it should be utilized more. The scorer is different than the stress test, because with the stress test they are trying to find out if there is a blocked artery, Albaghdadi said. If it is blocked, an angiogram is used to tell doctors where the blocked artery is to see where to open it up at, balloon it, bypass it or, if it’s mild, recommend lifestyle changes. Prevention includes lowering cholesterol and exercising. Usually middle- aged are most liable to have these problems, along with premature issues with family history. The problem with the younger age group opposed to the middle- aged group is they miss the problem that they have because they think, I am young and don’t think I’d have a problem like that. The Task Force for Protection’s recommendation is at age 5. One of Albaghdadi’s patients, Josh Burgland, who is 3. Jan. 1. 2. I fell under the same character that the doctor is talking about, the younger crowd. I just ignored all the symptoms not thinking it had anything to do with my heart. The morning of the heart attack I got extremely hot and sweated profusely. I felt sick to my stomach and had a big discomfort in my chest. It wasn’t anything that brought me to my knees, just pressure. I canceled everything I was doing that day and tried to lay down for a nap. Nothing changed so I drove myself to the emergency room and they hooked me right up to the EKG and said I was having a heart attack. My heart attack lasted almost two hours. The only symptoms I had was fatigue, not really any other issues, I had blocked arteries in my heart, which created the attack. I have really started to clean up my diet, chicken and fish, no red meat, vegetables and fruit. It took less than an hour to open all of his arteries up, which was fortunate. They actually have a great track record of how fast they can open someone’s arteries up, Albaghdadi said. The standard that they want you to do it by is called door to balloon. It should be 9. 0 minutes. As soon as the artery is opened, the muscle damage stops, he said. There is always damage, but the sooner you open it up the better. It’s good to pick up things before they become a problem, which is why we want to do screens on people who have more of a chance of having heart problems. December 2. 9, 2. Posted: Wednesday, October 2. Clinton Herald. CLINTON Medical Associates announced Tuesday a new partnership allowing patients who use blood thinners the ability to test their International Normalized Ratio from home. Medical Associates of Clinton now offers 1. Comm Medical’s at home INR testing program to all of its Coumadin patients. Until now, patients were required to visit the lab for a blood draw at least once a month to monitor their INR. Patients are provided with a testing device, supplies and in- person training. Once completed, these results can be reported by phone or online and are automatically sent to their health care provider for review. Studies have shown that patients that are testing more frequently from home lower their risk of a stroke, major bleed, and death. Sieck said 1. Comm Medical has been especially pleased with its adoption in the Midwest. We believe in giving the very best care to all our patients and 1. Comm Medical’s at home INR testing program does that in a way that’s easy for patients and keeps them connected to our doctors and nurses. Saadi Albaghdadi, of Medical Associates of Clinton. We’re pleased to be able to offer this service to our Coumadin patients. Tags: December 2. By John Rohlf, Clinton Herald Staff Writer. Originally Published on 9/1. CLINTON ” Increased recruitment and advancements in mammography testing were two of many changes for Medical Associates over the past year. As chief operating officer at Medical Associates, one of Tom Moser’s responsibilities is to oversee the physician recruitment at Medical Associates. According to Moser, Medical Associates works with recruiting companies to assist with the process. They are currently conducting searches in orthopedic surgery, obstetrics/gynecology and dermatology. They have added four positions in the last year and are continuing to look to fill other positions.“It’s an ongoing process,” Moser said. We have also added providers to address identified needs in our community.”Another relatively new development for Medical Associates is the urgent care/occupational medicine clinic. The clinic is staffed by a board- certified occupational medicine physician who works principally with area companies. One of the main functions of urgent care is to address work- related healthcare experiences. The clinic offers both laboratory and radiology services on site as well as other employer- specific services.“With more people having healthcare coverage as a result of the Affordable Care Act, we have seen an increase in individuals who are seeking healthcare services and urgent care was one of the things we have done to expand access,” Moser said. By expanding access to primary care, it’s our belief that we will also be able to avoid costly hospitalizations or unnecessary trips to area emergency departments.”Medical Associates also recently unveiled a new 3. D mammography machine. According to Radiology Manager Silissa Eckhart, 3. D mammography screening is similar to the 2. D exam and will only take a few seconds longer than 2. D mammography. During the 3. D part of the exam, the X- ray arm will sweep in a slight arc over the breast, taking multiple breast images, after which a computer will produce a 3. D image of the tissue in one millimeter slices, providing greater visibility and detail then ever seen before. It is anticipated that the additional images produced by the 3. D mammography will significantly improve early cancer detection.“The patient is not going to notice any difference, Eckhart said. Two years prior he fell backward off the bed of a truck onto his right buttock. He was sore, but was able to complete that workday without too much difficulty. Over the next few days, however, he developed increasing pain into the extreme low back, radiating to the anterior right hip. He began to have difficulty walking. Over two years, Ted had taken limited physical therapy, had two lumbar MRIs and a consult with a spine surgeon. This surgeon had determined the patient had mild degenerative disk disease, but absent a high- grade lesion, was not a surgical candidate. Ted was considering taking a medical retirement, something he REALLY did not want to do. He was sent to me by his company, as a last ditch effort for Ted to be evaluated prior to this drastic move. On physical exam, Ted was a well appearing male. In spite of being either off work or on severely restricted duty for two years, he was lean and in surprisingly good shape. Range of motion of the back was severely limited in forward flexion. There was pain in the right buttock which radiated to the anterior hip. Hip range of motion was preserved , there was no tenderness over the greater trochanter, there was no crepitus with hip motion. When asked if he hurt anywhere else, he replied once in awhile, I hurt up front, right over my . There was a leg length discrepancy of 1. FABER sign (FABER is an acronym for Flexion, Abduction, External Rotation- of the hip joint) was positive, recreating significant pain in the right extreme low back and right buttocks. Ted was diagnosed with sacroiliitis. He underwent four months of physical therapy with a therapist experienced in this disorder. He was returned to full duty. He did retire from his job— a full six years after the diagnosis- on HIS terms. While the frequency of Sacroiliitis does not begin to approach that of common lumbar/lumbosacral strains, it is nonetheless a fairly common disorder.
