James B. Chapman M.D.'s Expert Contributions
  • High blood pressure?

    Hopefully they started you on a blood pressure medication. If not, see your primary doc right away to start treatment. Blood pressure that high can sometimes cause chest pain, even with a normal heart, but discuss with your provider. A screening stress test may be recommended. READ MORE

  • How do you know if your ECG is abnormal?

    Most ECGs are initially interpreted by the computer, which gives a preliminary reading. The final reading is by a cardiologist, or other physician who is credentialed to interpret these studies. The reading will usually clearly state “normal,” “borderline,” or “abnormal,” and the abnormal finding will be in the report. READ MORE

  • Can a heart stent be placed through the arm?

    Yes. It is actually becoming more common to perform heart caths, including coronary stents, through the radial artery (in the wrist) READ MORE

  • Does having diabetes affect your heart function or no?

    It can. Diabetes increases the likelihood of developing coronary disease. It also can cause a weaker heart muscle, or cardiomyopathy, by depositing fatty tissue in the heart. READ MORE

  • Will drinking water lower your heart rate?

    Indirectly it may, if the reason for the high rate is dehydration. READ MORE

  • Is sleeping on the left side bad for your heart?

    No READ MORE

  • How is coronary artery spasm diagnosed?

    It is often a diagnosis of exclusion, when sporadic angina is present with no coronary disease present. It also can be provoked in the cath lab, also this is not commonly done READ MORE

  • How often should a heart stent be checked?

    Patients with coronary artery disease and a stent are typically seen in the office twice a year for exam, ECG, questions about symptoms, medication review, etc. If no symptoms, a screening stress test is typically done every 2 or 3 years. A repeat cardiac cath is not typically done unless concerning symptoms develop, or the stress test suggests an issue. READ MORE

  • Can someone survive a heart attack without medical attention?

    Yes! Heart attacks come in all sizes, so they are not always fatal. It is not uncommon for a patient to be asked, “When did you have your heart attack?” but they have no idea they even had one. It may show up on an ECG, echocardiogram, or other heart scan. READ MORE

  • Is sinus arrhythmia serious?

    No. Sinus arrhythmia is a variation of normal, and is not associated with pathology. READ MORE

  • When should one choose angioplasty over a bypass surgery?

    I would need more information to help you with this. Most significant lesions in one or 2 vessels can be treated with stents and results would be equivalent to bypass, with much quicker recovery. If all 3 vessels are significantly blocked, or if the blockage is particularly complex, surgery may be a better option. Often the cardiologist who diagnosed the problem will consult with a surgeon to come up with the best recommendation READ MORE

  • Does diabetes have an impact on the heart?

    Absolutely. Diabetes is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (cholesterol deposits in the arteries), and these patients often have more diffuse disease that progresses more rapidly. Diabetes can also be associated with fatty deposits in the heart muscle which can lead to cardiac enlargement and heart failure. READ MORE

  • If my hands and legs are constantly cold, is it a sign of heart problem?

    Possibly. If the heart as a pump is weak, circulation is down to the entire body, and extremity coldness may be a symptom. More likely, consider hypothyroidism, anemia, or peripheral vascular disease. READ MORE

  • Can mild chest pain be a symptom of a heart attack?

    It could potentially be warning symptoms. Heart pain doesn't have to be severe; in fact, some patients have no pain at all with a heart attack. READ MORE

  • What is cardiac catheterization?

    Another common name for this is an angiogram. The basic heart cath involves inserting a catheter (small tube) through a blood vessel in the groin or wrist, and threading it up to the heart. Contrast (commonly called dye) is injected into the heart arteries to make them show up on an xray movie. This is to look for narrowing in the arteries (blockage) which may lead to a heart attack. Severe blockage can often be treated at the same time by placing a stent. The catheterization also gives information about the strength of the heart muscle and valve function. READ MORE
