Cardiologist Dr Shalaby Discusses Maintaining A Healthy Heart

Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, but it can often be prevented or reversed. Dr Shalaby, a cardiologist from the Texas Heart Institute, emphasizes the importance of early detection and lifestyle modifications.

Key points:
1. Many people are unaware they have heart disease until a major event occurs.
2. Women and young people are often overlooked in heart disease diagnosis.
3. Early detection is crucial through risk stratification, blood work, and imaging tests.
4. Lifestyle modifications can prevent and even reverse heart disease:
– Diet: 60% fruits and vegetables, 20% healthy proteins, 20% whole grains
– Exercise: 30 minutes, 5 days a week, can reduce heart attack risk by 50%
– Supplements: Fish oil (3g daily) can decrease stroke or heart attack risk by 40-50%

Dr Shalaby stresses that prevention and reversal are more effective than treating advanced heart disease. By focusing on diet, exercise, and early detection, individuals can significantly improve their heart health and overall well-being.

What Do Cardiologist Dr Shalaby’s Clients Say?

Enjoy this office greatly – friendly and competent staff both up front and in back, and Dr. Shalaby has a wonderful bedside manner! He truly listens to your concerns and takes the time to explain things to you in ways that make sense, without being condescending. I think one of my favorite things about Dr. Shalaby is his ability to remember personal details about his patients – after finding out my daughter was diagnosed with cancer, he has asked about her at every appointment after and shared his own experiences being a parent of a young child with cancer. Things like this make the difference between a “regular” doctor and an exceptional one!

I had a great experience, I felt comfortable and well informed about my heart health. The office staff was friendly, and the environment was very welcoming. The provider took the time to ensure I understood my treatment plan and made me feel at ease during my visit. I highly recommend to anyone seeking a cardiologist.

Dr. Shalaby and his staff are fantastic. My wife and I have been seeing him for many years. He saved my life by doing a cath because I kept having chest pains. Over 90% blockage. He talks and listens attentively to your concerns. The staff is super friendly and efficient.
