Some issues Dr. Stuart O. Schecter, MD can help you with:

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease. It happens when the blood vessels carrying blood to the heart, called coronary arteries, narrow and harden. This occurs when cholesterol, a type of fat found in the blood, builds up to form plaque, which sticks to the inner walls of the arteries. As plaque accumulates, less blood can flow through the arteries, which may lead to the following:

Angina, which is chest pain that occurs when the heart does not receive enough blood flow.
Heart attack, which happens if the arteries leading to the heart are completely blocked.
Arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, which can develop if the heart does not have enough blood supply.
Heart failure, which may occur if a heart attack damages the heart and it becomes too weak to pump enough blood to the rest of the body.

Certain factors may increase risk for the disease, like smoking, lack of exercise, being overweight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. CAD tends to develop over decades, so it can go undetected until it has become quite severe. A diagnosis may be established using such tests as:

Electrocardiogram (ECG), which records the heart's electrical activity over a period of time. ECGs can detect whether there is enough blood flow to the heart or if a heart attack has occurred.
Echocardiogram (echo), which creates images of the heart using sound waves. Echos can show whether the heart is able to pump blood normally.
Stress tests, where an ECG or echo is combined with exercise, like riding a stationary bike or walking on a treadmill. This test is done to find out if the heart can function properly while performing a strenuous activity.

Treatments for the disease include medications such as vasodilators, like nitroglycerin, which dilates (widens) the coronary arteries. CAD may also be treated by a procedure called angioplasty with stent placement, where a balloon is inflated inside a diseased artery to flatten the plaque deposits against the artery walls, creating more room for blood to flow.

In some severe cases of the disease, multiple arteries may be blocked, and an open heart surgery called coronary artery bypass surgery may be necessary. This operation transplants a vessel from another part of the body to form a graft that goes past the narrowed arteries, thus enabling blood to flow around those arteries.

Sleep Study

A sleep study reveals important insights about a patient's sleep patterns by measuring brain activity, breathing, and movement. There are five types of sleep studies: a polysomnogram, titration sleep study, split night sleep study, multiple sleep latency test, and at-home sleep study. Sleep studies may help identify conditions such as:

Insomnia
Sleep apnea
Restless legs syndrome
Sleep walking
REM sleep behavior disorder
Narcolepsy

The most widely performed sleep test is the traditional polysomnogram (PSG). This test is typically used to determine whether patients have sleep apnea (lapses in breathing while asleep). Polysomnograms are conducted overnight in a specialized sleep clinic or sleep center, where a patient enters the sleep center and is assigned to a room with a bed, medical equipment, and monitoring system. An overnight sleep technician attaches electrodes to the patient's head, chest, and legs. This application process lasts for around an hour. A sleep technician watches and evaluates the patient as they sleep. Objects such as a comfortable pillow from home, toiletries, and small personal items may be helpful in easing patients into sleep in unfamiliar surroundings.

Patients receive their physician-interpreted sleep study results within a few weeks of the test. If sleep apnea is detected, patients may be asked to return for a titration sleep study. A titration study involves the same procedures and electrode placement of a polysomnogram, but also includes a mask attached to a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine. The CPAP machine brings pressurized air to the patient. The technician may monitor and adjust the CPAP's air pressure throughout the night. The purpose of a titration study is to determine the appropriate air pressure for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (blocked upper airway).

A split night study combines the polysomnogram and titration sleep studies into two sessions on the same night. Split night studies enable patients to complete both studies quickly instead of waiting weeks in between tests and may expedite the interpretation of results and treatment.

Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) measures how fast someone is able to fall asleep. Unlike other sleep tests, this test is performed during the day. It may take place after an overnight sleep study. The MSLT test monitors napping and potential for daytime sleepiness and exhaustion.

At-home sleep tests are fully conducted by patients in their own homes. Patients attach fewer electrodes, a breathing sensor, a microphone, and a data collection device to themselves and sleep in their own beds. The following morning, patients gather the data collection device and return it to their medical providers. While at-home sleep tests are convenient, they are not recommended for patients with severe sleep problems. At-home sleep tests are less precise than clinical tests and do not measure brain activity.

Sleep studies are essential to helping patients receive accurate sleep disorder diagnoses and proper treatment. A sleep study can be the first step towards higher quality sleep and physical health.
